I haven't been able to keep up with all the options out there but I'm looking for a smaller 18650 light with 20K + cd and also can be turned on in firefly mode.
I just got 2 new "almost there" lights: Eagletac DX30 & Nitecore P12GT. Both are small (the eagletac is smaller but gets hot quicker), use XP-L HI giving good throw for their size. The Eagletac has the ability to come on in low or "turbo" which I like, BUT despite it's claims I'm guessing low is 20 lumens and I'd prefer 1/2 to 2 lumens. The nitecore has a great low (firefly) BUT I can't start it in low mode so it wrecks my night vision. (Actually, it has "memory" so it comes on in the last mode used. That doesn't work for me personally as I personally I DON'T have memory so I don't remember which mode I turned it off in... and even if I did I like being able to have instant access to either firefly/low or high.)
I wish shipping wasn't so bad here... I'd gladly swap these 2 for 1 with my desired/merged features!
