I'm considering getting a drop-in from LightHound (already have a host, an L2P that I got in a trade). I've narrowed my selection to three, and would like your input on each. If you have two or all three of the ones I've listed, please share your observations. I'm looking for throw and brightness, so the ones I've chosen have SMO reflectors. I'll be using either two CR123As (not rechargeables) or one 18650.
Lighthound Cree R5 ($17.99) http://www.lighthound.com/Lighthoun...for-SureFire-and-other-Flashlights_p_965.html
Up to 340 lumens.
3-18V input.
Solarforce LC-XGP R5 ($17.99) http://www.lighthound.com/Solar-Force-LC-XPG-Cree-R5-Single-Mode-Drop-In_p_3610.html
Up to 350 lumens.
3-18V input.
Solarforce XM-L ($19.99) http://www.lighthound.com/Solar-Force-XM-L-Drop-In_p_3822.html
No lumen rating given.
3.7 volt range with one 18650.
Anybody have any of these?
(Yes, that JNieporte in the ratings is me. I gave away the light and the rated drop-in to a friend with the DEA. So now I have nothing to compare to.)
