Thx alot for all the replies!
I've checked the mini mags a bit, and 3 AA seems too big, can't really go for bigger than 2 AAs...
I am not really concerned about price wether it costs 10$ or 40$, I am just looking for something thats bright, small and that wont break in half too easily...Lenght-wise 4 inch is as big as I'll go, I dont have big pockets everywhere
I checked the Surefires out a bit, they are really expensive and take less frequent batteries like 123 something (forgive me I'm not quite the wise man I am new to this). Are they really that brighter to cost 6 times the price?
I know I find the little clip on the smaller Surefire models to look quite handy, the X1 doesnt have that, as far as I know. Are there accessories for this type of flashlight? What about the Amilite neo t3? and the fenix p1d-ce?
I read somewhere that some third party companies make led upgrades that are much much better than using the original incandescent light on a flashlight, is buying an incandescent light with a led upgrade a viable option, or is it more of a fraud? I am guessing buying a flashlight that was originally designed for LEDs is best.
One thing I do not like about mag lites and streamlights is that they have a wide head, compared to the rest of the body, it seems to me like this would make them much harder to pocket.
Like I said, money is not really a problem, but like anyone I wont pay 6 times the price for something that is very _barely_ better. I am looking for something to carry in my jean pockets, so I figured the X1 Looked like the right size for that, and it doesnt have a big head so that's a plus. On the other hand, there are flashlights with a bigger diameter but much shorter length-wise.
Say we forget pricing and we go for brightness/duration/size, what would be a few good options besides the X1?
Thank you again,
Libbs
