Surprised no one ordered a eagletac dx30lc2 yet. Trying to decide which one I want for a duty light in ems as well as a self defense carry light. Got it down to a dx30lc2 and a Olight s30r II. Leaning towards the eagletac due to the tail switch. Opinions?

Click to expand…I have an S30R,…not sure about the ‘2’, is there another version already??
Anyway, good output, good run times,….magnet not strong enough to hold the torch horizontal though, unlike the S10R.smokingfish said: ↑
Just ordered a toolvn. Curious about 700 lumens from a tiny 10440 battery.
I’m curious about that too.
But I just bought the Lumintop Copper AAA clicky.
Clicky won out over lumens. 🙂I keep looking through this thread, on CPF, everywhere to find inspiration but nothing grabs me right now.. and it’s annoying!
Can’t think of a light in the past 6 months or so, since I got my P25LC2 that’s exciting enough to want to buy. I’ve got a good AAA backup light, I don’t really care for AA’s right now, but the D25A Ti is perfect for it’s size.. and for 18650’s between the SC600W L2, D25LC2 and P25LC2 I’m all set.
But man I’m bored with them!

You’re going to like the ToolVN!
Vinh’s video review is correct in that the light manages heat pretty wellBedlam said: ↑

What’s the best recommendation under a hundred, and under two? And not that I’d buy it, but under 5 hundred too :p Give me something to aim for haha.

Malkoff MDC
Malkoff WildCat
(HDS EDC)
McGizmo (choose one)
Finally have a replacement LX2 on the way, after mine went missing over the summer.
Hands down my favorite EDC light of all time, the UI is just caveman simple.
Little push= little light and hard push = lotta light.
No clicky, no “rotate 3 times, while rubbing your head and scratching your toe” Just simple.I’ve had my new Zebralight SC62w for just shy of a month, now, and have been extremely impressed with most everything about it. The interface is so intuitive (and flexible – an added bonus), I can finally understand why so many people have raved about their lights 🙂

Cheesy iPhone picture – superb light. Here it is, at work. I use it very heavily there, and most everywhere else. It really is a solid little piece of engineering.My only true complaint about it is the miserably loose pocket clip. I hate it. I usually carry it in the holster that came with my Nitecore EA11, on my belt, right next to my iPhone 5S; but today, I tried pocket-carrying it in my front left pocket, at work, right next to my EagleTac P20C2 Mk II (I still like pocket carrying that one because of its momentary function, and great spot beam, for its size.
The clip is extremely disappointing. The P20’s clip is so solid, you practically have to tear it out of your pocket, to get it to budge. It’s very grippy, and that’s the kind of clip I’m used to, if I ever pocket carry a light. It ain’t goin’ anywhere, on its own. The SC62w’s clip, on the other hand, while pretty and slick, is just too loose to trust. It just slides in and out of a pocket, way too easily, for my taste. I generally hate pocket clips, and this is why. I’ve lost too many lights because I bumped into something and the light went flying, or just got lost, without my knowledge of where it even went (all the worse), and it was too late to recover the light.
I’d really like to pocket carry this light at work (since I’m not allowed to wear it on my belt), but it needs a much more solid clip.
Aside from that, it’s amazing…and it’s so small. I can’t believe how small it is, for how much output it produces. I still can’t get over it. The PID is genius. Timed step-downs can really suck, and this (The PID) is the kind of heat management regulation all lights should have, in my humble opinion. It only lowers the output, when it’s actually necessary, based on usage and environment, rather than a per-determined time. It just makes sense. I wish all my lights had this kind of thermal management.

Click to expand…Why can’t you have it on your belt at work? What’s the problem with having a pouch on ones belt whilst at work, some bosses are really strange??
