Hi Matt,i am sure very varied replies ,out in the field,mountain climbing,any back packing or use or hours then weight is a big priority. Personally with lights i like some weight like you,gives you that solid reassurance that builds confidence in the build itself(again this is me). One of my more weighty lights for the size is my tm15
Only trouble is the heavy they are.......... the harder they fall :laughing:
Other end size but weighty ,my t10s fed AA eneloop is a heavy, solid feeling light being stainless.....
This also gives me confidence in the build ,but as an edc light i go for a lighter option like ti so i carry a couple of d25c ti lights in different coats or the t10t. This is in a zipped pocket so loss is less likely. If in trouser pockets i do like to know its there so a little weight helps me know its not lost and is there.
So for me yes i like weight in medium to larger lights in general,but dependent on use then weight does come into it,especially if its on me all day and where i am carrying it
I still have the heavy weight e05ss on my truck keys
replacing the DGQ spy which weighs nothing(not saying its a permanent move and its a better light) but an area really i prefer a lighter flashlight..................
When purchasing a light though, i never check the grams etc ,its the form factor,led,tint,use,brand that comes before(in no specific order).
Yes to it being balanced too in the hand for comfort
