What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

Just got a Zebralight SC53c.

I bought a SC51 several years ago and found it to be a great light except that it would turn on in my pocket so it was disqualified from EDC use. I was recently assured by members of this forum that the switch had been recessed enough that accidental activation was no longer an issue, so I decided it was time to try again.

It's a little chunkier than my SC51, but so far so good.

Mateminco MT07vn modified by Vinh Nguyen (Skylumen.com) with White 2 emitters, 5400K. It puts out 7,700 lumens at turn on and 115,000 lux throw. All this running on a single 26650 high drain battery in just a 4.4" length with a 1.7" bezel. I think this is punching well above its weight class!

I bought an Astrolux S41 w 219c because someone online said the 18650 battery tube would fit my original RRT-01. That was false.

I bought a Copper Tool w eSwitch, because I have one that is a favorite and wanted a backup. I ordered 219c, but received XP-G3. Thats ok, cause I planned to mod the light to 219b either way.

SureFire Stiletto

Not the Pro version. I'd happily pay that much and more for a SureFire, and I have. (Several times over.) Just the whole concept of an inaccessible battery bothers me, for that amount. But for around $90.oo, I'll try out the smaller, thinner, lighter version that is only 650 lumens out the front. Just want to see if something radically different from the standard tube shaped tactical light will fit in with my EDC plans.

Left-front pants pocket normally is where I carry my main light clipped to. Knife clipped to my right-front pants pocket. The design of the Stiletto means it might just be ideal for rear-pants pocket on my left side. Freeing up that front pocket for another EDC item. Perhaps a good clip-carried multi-tool? Opens up a couple of other options for carry in that pocket too. All clip-carried items.

I just need one. The other I'll be giving away with other lights and items on a certain YouTube channel to promote an eBay store belonging to, I guess I could call him an acquaintance? It's a tiny bit complicated.

I didn't know Zebralight brand still existed, I haven't seen them in years.

Surefire E1D, haven't buy any SF for a long time, seem like a nice light for the car.
Seem to be the only one on their site that look cool to me

Bought a G2X Pro to see how it would work with a V70 speed draw holster. I purchased the holster for the 6PX, but thought the tension spring would tear the body up with continued use. Well the tension is IMO still too tight, bummer! Gotta figure out if I can lessen the tension up a bit, so it would be easier when using the light.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Pops ... :naughty:

I can't believe it, but I just scored a Barrel M2JN TAD Edition. I have been checking the TAD site and signed up for the restock notifications, but it was just dumb luck that I happened to hit "refresh" at the right time to get it in my cart and check out in a hurry. Should be on its way to me now.

LedLenser M1R, because it was on sale (39 euros)

 

[Fireclaw18]

Rofis MR70.

+ it was on sale
+ it has an idiot-proof UI
+ it looks and feels very high qualty
+ it comes with a battery, has built-in charging and can be used as a powerbank.
- it reportedly has high parasitic drain.

Why did I purchase it? ... to give as a Christmas gift. I'll advise the giftee to partially unscrew the tailcap if not using for more than a few days.

Jetbeam JET II Pro in purple/teal titanium.

It's gaudy with the strike bezel, but I like gaudy.

Bought today an Armytek Wizard pro warm , I hope I don't regret this purchase.
I have many examples of the "basic" Wizard version which has proved to be an exceptional light.
In 2017 I bought the Wizard Pro but after 24 hours I returned it because it didn't have the promised brightness.
I tried again today hoping to be luckier.

 

[wicky998]

Today I ordered the vme head, cr123 body and m31w.. Another one.....

I just bought Olight M2R Pro 21700 version, this is my first 21700 flashlight

 

[richbuff]

Nitecore TM9K. Because it is capable of briefly unleashing 9,500 factory spec lumens from a single 20700 cell. Of course, I can run it in normal modes for normal runtime.

Modified for improved heat sinking, and max burst lumens to size ratio in its size class.
