I find it interesting to recognize similar design elements in flashlights.
This is not in any way an accusation nor criticism, of anyone copying anyone else. There are only so many ways you can spin something on a lathe, it is inevitable that different makers will end up using similar tooling. However, each light stands on its own merits, even if it stands on the shoulders of other great lights.
Lights with a floody ring of LEDs around a center Spot:
LunaSol
Beagle
Lights with teardrop milling in the heads:
Aeon
LunaSol
TiLan
Lights with similar pineapple knurling
Wasp
MecArmy PT Series:
PeuPineapple
Post pics of other lights with similarities. Please avoid ranting about copies being bad, wrong, stealing, etc. Lets just say that similarity is a form of flattery
(it is not uncommon for more than one person to have the same great idea)
