We're talking about what manufacturer has the best LEADING EDGE, QUALITY lights. In consideration, I think the minimum requirements are:
1. Aluminum bored casings for heat control; forget cheap lights.
2. Range of lumens to over 1000 so the latest emitters
3. Best we eliminate the multi-emitter group of lights, as that's beyond more budgets and overkill in many situations, but it does show the leading edge, so let's make that a requirement for the manufacturer.
4. 18350 compatibility, lets eliminate the lower capacity designs as the higher power drives technology.
5. Features are a major factor here as it shows who is pushing the leading edge and not making "me too" lights. Basically, who is pushing electronic circuit innovation? Who is pushing form factor? Who is pushing longevity?
6. We could also include some ideas on what future innovations could be included, e.g., wireless capability, remote readouts, digital displays, etc.
