I like the DQG & Veleno (D2 is no longer in production) lights.

Here is a nice list of some:

I still use my Peak Eiger 10180 ....

Best in terms of what? I like the Astrolux M01 as it is the only 10180 light with a nichia 219B in it which wins by default for me.

My Peak Eiger 10180 has a Nichia in it ....

staticx57 · Jun 13, 2016

Which is not currently being sold anywhere?

archimedes · Jun 13, 2016

Oveready has (EDIT - had) the 10440 with Nichia in stock now I think, but I haven't seen the smaller tubes for a while (10180, 10250, 10280) .... They might be available from Peak direct, by custom order though ?

Interesting. I am always on the hunt for more nichia lights. It is the only emitter I am really interested in these days. Plus I have more 10180 cells than lights...

Edit: oveready is out of stock on everything peak related.

They do periodically restock ....

Email Peak LED Solutions and tell them what you are looking for. They sell direct.

The Peak 10180 Nichia mentioned by archimedes is a totally awesome light for the keychain.

Here's Robyn's email at Peak:

Thanks @Ladd ... even better, mine is the N119 (not N219)

staticx57 · Jun 13, 2016

My understanding is the difference between 119 and 219 is the size of the packaging, nothing to do with the emitter itself?

I've been completely happy with my Factor Equipment Ghost 130. It works great, holds a charge longer than I've been able to resist topping it up, and the stainless steel doesn't show any wear after riding around with my keys for a few months.

I don't know if it is the best of the best, but the stainless CooYoo Quantum has been well received. I have one and it is my edc.
There is also the JetBeam Mini-1 that looks similar (but I know nothing about it.)

I have the cooyoo quantum as well but in titanium. I really like the body but it is saddled with an unfortunate cool white emitter.

Without discussing binning, it's apples and oranges ....

That said, I have many of both, and vastly prefer all of my N119 to N219 emitters, save a very few hand-picked 219's

What about the Ghost 130?

Yes, I have 6; HA, SS smooth pocket, SS smooth lug, SS knurl lug, BR smooth lug and BR knurl lug.
The HA and BR knurl are on their way (with 7 other Peak 10250s and 10280s).
Here are 4 next to an AAA.
The SS smooth pocket with mule head is the smallest at 1.75 inches.
You can get these high only or QTC.

Where can I buy them?
