    Floody 18650 powered head lamp!

    tl;dr - I am a network engineer and work up high on lifts in darker areas. I KNOW it is overkill, but I would like a headlamp that has flood for areas I'm in, but also is capable of outputting some lumens (The HC60 comes to mind). The flood is for my everyday use, and the lumens would be just to...

    Need a tactical/EDC 18650 powered light. PD35? Nitecore P12? -HELP!-

    Thanks everyone. I ended up purchasing a BLF A6 and a Nitecore P12!

    Need a tactical/EDC 18650 powered light. PD35? Nitecore P12? -HELP!-

    While I'm still looking for another EDC light, I did pick one of those up for a backup! Just ordered. Thanks for the heads up.

    Thanks, that's worth looking up! That magnetic tailcap is pretty sweet too.

    Thanks for the input, guys! I'll check out that BLF light. Seems like a great deal for the price. Might pick one up as an extra anyways for $25.

    Need a tactical/EDC 18650 powered light. PD35? Nitecore P12? -HELP!-

    Been looking for a while at lights and I haven't kept up for the past couple years! I'm ready to pull the trigger on something and haven't been able to decide. One caveat with the list down below is that I NEED something with a deep pocket clip or one that has an aftermarket one available. I've...

    Thanks! I'll probably wait it out and end up with a QT2A-X. After weighing out a lot of the options, it seems that a 14500 in a 1A tube would provide ample light in a short package. It's either something like that, or going to a bigger package like a PD35 or Nitecore P12 with a mode switch.

    I like the P12 and the PD35 a lot. The only thing I don't like is how fast they both step down on turbo mode; 3 minutes for the P12 and 5 minutes for the PD35. While it's not a huge issue, I wish it wasn't so damn fast.

    Thanks for the helpful info! I guess I will just have to get used to the twisty head thing. It seems like such a good light, I just hate that head twist shenanigans. Also, what 14500's do you use? I know sometimes protected cells don't fit into some lights because they are longer.

    That sounds like a great option. Tons of power in a tiny package. It's a shame they are backordered! I can't imagine with a 14500 you get much runtime at 350 lumens. About how much do you see?

    Thank you for the reply. For some reason, I didn't even put it together that I could just put together a flashlight using parts on the Foursevens page to build what I want! (After reading up some, I should - Buy a Quark Tactical QTA with tactical UI, throw a deep pocket clip on it, a 14500 and...

    Thanks for the suggestion. I absolutely love that pocket clip, but the one I want is sold out! (Tactical - Comes on high first). I also like the fact that you can run the AA version on 14500's and get 400 lumens out of it. That being said, the low mode gets increased to unusably bright for...

    Okay, found out another ESSENTIAL item for me. Must have a momentary on ability. Would also LOVE to find something with a deep carry clip. I was looking at the EagleTac D25C and was very saddened that it didn't have momentary on and was only reverse clicky. So to sum this up more...

    As I was reading threads, this does seem to be a very highly rated light that a lot of folks enjoy. I love how small it is, also. May I ask your personal opinion on the light throw and spill? I want something that isn't exactly a super sharp spot. Can you comment on this? Edit: I also like...
