I've got lots of lights that do so many things... but if I had my wish...
I wish my lights were infinitely variable in brightness.

What do you wish your light could do?

Me too, from 1 to 100,000 lumens in a flashlight the size of an AAA battery that runs for 1 year on high and stays cool.
I don't want much really.

I wish mine were brighter then the sun yet could be tuned to a barely visible glow. A variable beam pattern gives me what I need, super throw or super flood or anywhere in between. Can change color and has the full spectrum of light, runs forever and is absurdly tough and the abiility to withstand any enviroment (water, lava, space...). Size, variable, depends on my needs. Produces heat only when needed.
Not to mention the ability to predict and produce the exact amount of light I need.
Of course, it is not possible to make a light like that, not now at least.

I'd just want it to be:
- Built like a tank with extra thick metal
- HIII and pineapple grip that shreds your pockets
- Really waterproof
- Runs on AA Lithium, NiMh, or alkalines
- Forward clicky switch with momentary/on/off/lockout
- made in USA

That the price on all production flashlight to be lowered down at least 75%. Then at least everyone would be able to own them.

Honestly, I'm pretty happy with three of my most used lights: SSC-modded HDS Basic42 (though I wish it had an easily accessible momentary mode), Jetbeam C-LE (I wish it could run completely safely on 14500s which is the only way I run it and I wish the LOW mode was still low on 14500s) and my 2C UW0K/nFlex/18650 Mag with a Mc 27L reflector (though I will swap the UW0K out for a USW0H SSC when I get some more in).
To be honest, the possibility of 'brighter' is always better with a multi level light but the lights I have are as bright as I need. I wish lights could have some decent range of focus... the ability to throw a floodier beam without having to use a beamshaper or something similar.
Even if the range of focal adjustment wasn't extreme... something that went from, say a 2" hotspot @ 12" distance to a 4" hotspot @ 12" would be very nice.

Well, light travels at the speed of—
. . .how about turn back time so I can start over again? This time doing things better!

Be the size of a JetBeam, run on a single AA, and be brighter AND cheaper than a 3-6 D maglite.

Greetings!
Then it's your lucky day! They can!!!!
Just turn the beam around so it's shining straight in your eyes... it'll make EVERYTHING in front of you disappear (at least for a while)!
Best wishes,
Bawko

Check out the UK 4AA eLED Zoom. The beam width zooms from 13 degrees to 21 degrees with one full turn of the bezel.
Although intended for fire fighting use, I find the variable beam feature great for general outdoor use.

Continuously-variable brightness from a couple of lumens to about a thousand -- in any color. Strobe in all colors. Focusable from way floody to throw monster.

I'd like to see PWM drivers that give the user a choice of lower output levels than 5%. Reaching for lower output levels will only get worse with the newer, higher efficiency LEDs.

add to the above a nuclear battey with say 10W output for 10 years, in the size of a coin cell.
