So does anyone else have a hobby of collecting flashlights ? I know there was a topic on this in the off-topic forum a couple months ago, which is what originally inspired me to get a couple lights.
Right now I own:
Surefire E2D Executive Defender
Fenix P3D Premium Q5
and an Ultrafire ULTRAFIRE WF501B with Cree XRE-7090 LED
Surefire and Fenix flashlights are pretty expensive... but anything over 100 lumens is just rediculous, and the beam looks so sexy.

Forget the maglite. Once you've used Surefire, Maglites are way too dim.
I've 3 units G2 Nitrolon and 1 unit Lumimax L2, I've scraped the Maglites once I've got these. |

Right now I use Fenix P3D Q5 putting out 215lumens. I love it too death... but my girlfriend wants it. i think it would be a good idea to give it to her since she could use it as self defence item.
Anyway... I ordered Fenix TK40 rated at 640lumens and also Olight M30 Triton rated at 700lumens. They should be coming in 2 weeks.
::EDIT:: to answer a poster asking about how P3D throw... its not that good bc of its small reflector. If you want something that gives good distance/throw... than look at Jetbeam M1X or Fenix TK40. those 2 have nicely sized reflectors to give the beam a nice throw but they're kinda big to be carrying around. I just got my Olight M30 Triton 700lumens... the reflector is not as big as its competetors but its 700lumen brightness more than makes up for it... pluz its nice size gives it nice portability.

Check out a Spiderfire P7 at WL. Nice light for the price! I recommend using a quality battery from AW though...

I think surefire have nice looking designs, although they are way over priced. I like maglights which can make a good defense weapon, and their switch is very reliable, but the output and size can be beat by any $25 led light.
A few months ago I built a led light which uses the same circuitry as a garden light. It charges by a small solar panel automatically, shuts off depending on the photo-resistor and turns on the light. All autonomous. This light is not very bright, only 6 leds, but the leds will stay on for 2 weeks straight at full brightness, without needing a charge..
I prefer a light which can be self sufficient in times of emergencies, not having to depend on a wall socket to get power. The ultimate goal is too have a light which is directly powered by the environmental energies which envelope earth.
