Im looking for a really good high powered flashlight and am interested in these 3.

1. Olight M30 Triton
2. Fenix TK40
3. Tiablo ACE-G

Which one would be the best one to get? And why?

I'm not too sure really because I don't own any of them but I heard really great reviews for the olight m30 ;).

I just got a TK40 and am absolutely blown away by the amount of light it puts out. A lot of people are turned off by it because it only takes AA, but I ordered 8 eneloops with it and plan on ordering 8 more, that way i'll have an extra set charged at all times. The most impresive thing about the TK40 is the medium and high setting and how long they will run. On medium it is bright enough to do just about anything. It's something close to 100 lumens and will run for 20 hours! High is even insanely bright and it will run for close to 7 hours! Turbo is really just for having fun and impressing people. I have no experience with the other two so I can't comment on them, but my next light is going to be an OLIGHT M20

Hard for anyone to say what's best without knowing what you want to use it for. They are different designs with different strengths and weaknesses. What one person thinks might be "best" isn't necessarily the best fit for you.

I just want it for fishing, camping mainly want one that is going to be the most reliable, and the one that will be the brightest and last the longest without replacing batteries. I have a couple fenix light and like them alot but have heard good things about the other 2.

how much brighter is the olight it says 700 which is little bit brighter than the fenix but would it be a pretty noticeable difference?

The Fenix has a max run time of 150 hours with very usable light, the Olight has a 80 hour max run time. Besides the Fenix edging out the Olight is run times on every mode, they are probably just about equal in light quality. It just depends on what you want out of the light. I wanted something that I could use for survival if I needed to, and with 150 hours of very usable light, it could very well be used for survival. I also wanted something to blood trail a deer with, and on medium with around 100 lumens, I can trail a deer all night if needed without running out of light. I've had to carry 3-4 flashlights with me before, this one takes place of all of them.

I think everyone agrees that the Sanyo Eneloops are the best batteries to run out of the Fenix. I just picked my light, along with batteries at Batteryjunction.com, they offer 5% off to CPF members, coupon code cpf2006. They handled everything great, fast shipping.

As an avid fisher I would go with a headlamp before any of those. Or the lightest of those lights(usually hike a bit and like to travel light).

Another thing to think about imo is if you are going away for a couple of days, would you prefer to take 9 cr123a's or 24 AA's

The Fenix is very impressive, I bought the M30 though because of its size. I wanted a 1" body tube so I could mount it to my gun and shoot zombies at night. I love this light. If run time is important then go with the Fenix, though. The M30's runtimes aren't great. They aren't terrible, but other lights have really stepped up in efficiency.
