Which flashlight would you pick for 1st Prize?

If you were asked to pick the flashlight for 1st Prize in a contest on CPF, which flashlight would you pick?

Granted there are a LOT of FINE creations of ART from our own members here at the CPF...but I actually hate to use some of them!

They are indeed more like "collector's pieces" to me. Additionally it's hard to afford some of these, especially if I'm hesitant to use them, may scratch them or something! It's like using an expensive painting for a "post-a-note" to me!

Therefore I have to vote for a SureFire U2!! They are a quality torch, well built, lifetime warranty - a real user that produces, and one that I wouldn't mind using!

...and I don't have one, but I'd sure like to win one!

HDS ultimate-60.

How about an L4? Its been one of the most well talked about SFs and is used without care for scratches. Nobody keeps an L4 unused. An unused L4 is just wrong. We all talk about how we use it for campin and keepin it in the car and its great tolerance with the Pila 168S. If you were to provide one as a prize, nothing can beat an L4 with a nice box of 123s.

These are all good ideas, I had forgotten all about the Surefire U2. It's difficult to narrow it down to just one. Sort of a "if I could have only one..." in reverse.

Lots of fellahs are viewing this thread but aren't leaving their ideas. If you're having a hard time deciding, maybe pick the light that you'd like to win in a contest tonight. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif

SF M6 would be my pick.

inova t3 or streamlight tl2 led

Blast from the Past- "Mr. X"

Present Unobtainium- TnC Lithium Lux V (X bin in a AA KeyLux)

The Future Is NOW- McLuxIII-PD

I'd prefer something you couldn't buy "off the rack".

L2, U2, HDS60GT in that order

An bored-out Orb, a Pierce M10, an EDC 60 Basic, or a MiniHID.

If I had to pick one light that will knock your socks off.... It would be MR-X X3T!

A single LED light that puts out more lumens than Surefire M6 lola, 45 minutes in regulation, then lots more runtime. all this with 6x nmh AA's.

did I mention it's the throw king for LED lights.

but my pick for first prize goes to Li14430/CR2 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I am not sure that these count, 'cause they are spotlights, but if I was going to win a light, I would hope that it was the Beast, or a MegaRay!!

Now if we can Ginseng to replicate another copy of the smooth operator...

The Beast

Surefire M6

Surefire U2

I vote for one of our own members fine creations, something for the shelf.
If it is a contest that involves contestants "buying" tickets then price is no option.
If it is coming out of your pocket then something creative as you always do, or something from a "local" that way maybe they can help take a bit of a bite out of the cost too..
Or, to save everyone the aggrivation of trying to win a contest just send me the M3-T or M6. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
