Please list your Favorite LED Flashlights

I'm a newbie here and am just wondering what are your favorite LED flashlights.

Three categories:

1) Large ("D" battery size)

2) Portable Handheld (Inova X5 size)

3) Microlight (Keychain size)

Thanks!

1: Maxabeam
2: Arc LS or maybe McLux
3: Arc AAA

Don't have a Biggy. Looking to grab 3C and 4AA Streamlight LED lights which could be the Big and Handheld compact sizes.

My Current fav handheld is my Madmax, RamSwitch, GlassLense 2AA M!ini M*g. Runner up PT Attitude.

My ABSOLUTE Fav small LED light is my ARC AAA!!! Inova ML and the ilk just don't move me.

Shhhhhh...we all know that at the heart of the Maxabeam is a 100W Luxeon

Er...lets make it the Inretech super 6 then.

I don't yet have a "BIG" LED light - none of them meet what I want.

Here's my current top three in order of preference:

1) Arc AAA
2) Dopalec (Dorcy / Opalec conversion)
3) *ini*ag / BB400 conversion

Hey. You asked. What did you want me to do? Lie?

Mines would be:

1) my Lambda Cyclops SE
2) LGI
3) ARC AAA

ZEPH

My favorite LED flashlights are:

Unlimited: CMG Reactor 3

Pocket: Arc AAA and Arc LSL

Keychain: Translucent Inova Microlight and Photon Microlight II

1. 3D Mag with 5W LS conversion by Elektrolumens

2. McLux if available. E2E with KL3 but $$$

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Well, I cheated a bit of course... but still didn't lie mind you. The McLux doesn't exactly exist quite yet. See it here: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=14;t=001056

My favorites are:

A)Large (C or D cell)...have none (yet...)

B)Med: Arc LS

C)Keychain: Arc AAA Turq EV

PJD

1) ?
2) Arc-LSH-Premium
3) Photon II

1. Favorite flashlight period...PT Attitude -95% of uses
2. Favorite keychain light...Photon III (white)
3. Favorite light for camping...Infinity Ultra -wife's favorite
4. Favorite long lasting...Infinity Blue-Green
5. Brightest LED I own...BadBoy 400, but still use Attitude more.

Other lights I own, but sit on the shelf...
ARC AAA (nice light, I just have other favorites)
Photon II red (same comment)

I use a flashlight this time of year almost daily as it is quite common for my wife, myself and my dog to take a walk in the dark on an empty country road. I always take two lights; Attitude for primary and the UK 4AA AS2 incandescent to spot light items of interest. Since I use an incandescent when I want something REALLY BRIGHT, my favorite LEDs are not especially bright; just bright enough.

1) Biggest Honking Light I have: a Dorcy Cool Blue.
(Not what was intended for this catagory, but it is the only things bigger are my lanterns and the Nightstar shake light).

2) Xray (EDC)
3) FreeLight (also EDC)

(Not listed as a catagory: nightstand ... there I use a green or blue PAL Survival.)

It's interesting to note that not too may of us have C or D size lights. The next question ought to be 'Why not?' Cost? Size?

(For me the answer is cost. I'd probably pay 30 USD for a C cell light, but 50 is more than I'm yet willing to part with.)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I don't think you are going to get much input for "Larger" type flashlights because for most people on this board you can get Faglite D output from much more size efficient packages.

That being said:
1) Streamlight ProPolymer LED 3C for long lasting light source.
2) Expensive and more light: Arc LS, SureFire E2E/KL1 combo, CMG Reactor on Lithium AAs.
2) Cheaper and less light: Arc AAA (LE), and CMG Infinity Ultra.
3) Photon II Microlight.

Here is my list of those that I own:

1. Lightwave 4000 (3xD cell and 10 leds)
2. Madmax modded Minimag with a Kroll tailcap switch, untill my UBH arrives.
3. ARC AAA LE

As more of us have said, no "biggie"...
For portable, my Lambda Illuminator,(untill I get a McLux...(I hope... )
Pocket carry: Arc AAA LE
