Hey! So I'm looking for a replacement for my Fenix LD50. It's a well built light, but there are things I don't like about it. Below is what I like and don't like. I want something over 900 lumens and prefer 18650 batteries. Please help me decide what to get!

Likes:
1. Very Bright
2. 18650 batteries
3. Pocket Clip
4. Can tail stand
5. Well Built

Dis-likes:
1. BIGGEST ISSUE: No lockout for button. It has turned on several times when it's in the side of my backpack. I take good care of my stuff, but I can't baby it. I literally can't put it in a bag or anything. It has to be carried by itself... A huge design flaw IMO that I did not catch when i bought it.
2. No Moonlight mode
3. Not a big deal, but no magnetic tail cap (like my EDC Olight S10)

Anyway, what would you guys recommend?

Zebralight SC62 would fit all your qualifications except for the magnetic tail cap. For that the Olight S30 would meet that qualification but I prefer the Zebralight for better moonlight options and thermally controlled output. I have one and it's super small for an 18650 light. The Zebralight can lock out with a quarter turn and also has a recessed button to prevent accidental activation.
