I'm looking to add a new toy to my collection. What I want is a high-lumen LED (not incandescent) that has more throw than flood, but not as much throw as my Solarforce Skyline. I'm comfortable using AAAs, AAs, Cs, or CR123 cells. I would prefer a clicky as I don't like twisties, but I won't discount a light simply because it's a twisty. Tail standing is not necessary. I don't need a lot of modes; just one mode or a high / medium would be sufficient. My budget is around $60 shipped. I've left a list of what I already have (over 100 lumens only listed) below; please suggest a new bright toy :thumbsup:

What I have:
Solarforce Skyline 1.
Streamlight PT2L.
Fenix E21.
ITP SC2 Eluma.
Maglite Minimag LED (multi-mode).
MG P-Rocket 450 lumens OP reflector.
Leatherman Monarch 500.
Shiningbeam S-mini 360 lumens.
Aurora R2 (one AAA)
Lighthound CR-1 Q4.
Leatherman Serac S3.
Maglite X50.
Olight T10.
Streamlight PolyTac.
Eagletac P20A2.
Romisen RV-235.

am torch hunting myself... and i chanced upon this iTP A6 which apparently puts out 700lm? goinggear seems to be selling at 80.. which is kinda slightly higher than your budget.. but it seems bang for buck at the moment?

I'm not sure how much throw it will give you, but the Solarforce L2P with XM-L drop-in could be a nice budget choice at under $40 shipped.

I don't see any 4Sevens offerings in your collection, so why not add a Quark 123 or Quark AA to the list? I have a Quark AA Tactical and think it's beam is a good midground between throw and flood.

Sorry to hijack thread, but where would you recommend I get a BC40? Still don't know my way around the forum yet. I'm in Aus by the way, last place I was linked to had free shipping within USA, but posting to AUS added $25 (ouch) making a TK35 seem like a better option ($115 posted before discount code for 4Sevens)
