Flashlight Enthusiast
I am relatively new to the world of high performance flashlights. Actually, very new would be more apt. I have an old (7 LED, 3 C-cell) Lightwave, a LED Lenser T7, an Olight M20S-X, and a Nitecore P25 (on the way). I'm saving up for the Nitecore TM26 (edit: just bought, and can't wait to try it out), but in the meantime I thought I'd get some input from you guys.
The timeframe will vary, but right now my wish list is:
Lenslight Mini
Deft-X (if I win the lottery, but very unlikely)
Bronte RC25S
Zebralight SC600 Mk II
Crelant V6CS
Klarus RS11
Sunwayman C20C
Surefire R1 Lawman (also rather unlikely, at $300+)
Jetbeam Jet III
Led Lenser M7RX
Eagletac G25C2
Fenix PD32UE
Eagletac D25LC2
Obviously I want to get some exposure to many different brands, and attentive people will realize that all but two of these lights are 18650-capable. Sticking within that list, what would you recommend I get first, and why? Extra points for unique features that are different from the rest of the pack...I really don't need to buy clones. I can't really say I NEED any of these for a specific purpose, I'm just looking to explore.
This is such a wonderful community, from rudimentary to discussions that would delight an electrical engineer. Just want to say thanks to all the CPF veterans who make this such a great resource!
