Regardless of price, tell us your personal favorite flashlight and please state your reasons whether it be looks, feel, brightness, compact or easy to carry, variety of modes, flood capability, or throw capability, etc....
This ought to get a lot of replies with all the members on here.
I personally like my Fenix TK41 probably the best. I like it because it looks great and it's bright and feels good in your hand. And it runs off AA's. And I guess I like the modes the best of all.
I'd say my solarforce l2 with a warm tint xml e1320 drop-in. It's really bright, warm tint, and runs off of rechargeables or primaries.
My Balder SE-1 neutral XML .
Small . Bright . Perfect beam profile and tint . Sturdy clip .
My EDC and favorite light ever .
For now .
I have a lot of good ones but my favorite all around light has to be my go to light, a Zebralight SC60.
My favorite has to be my G10 1-mode. Very small, very bright.
But its only my favorite if my ITP A3 1-mode is with me, which it always is.
Fenix E15.
Reliable and bright. Tiny enough for deep pocket , all-the-time carry. No switch to accidentally activate.
( its on a lanyard with my Leatherman Squirt ES4 Electrician Mdl)
Love my Zebralight SC50--but it has burned my buns too many times with unintended activation. lol
Gonna find a thick rubber band or ? to wrap over the switch area.
I'm going to say my Zebralight SC600 it's small and packs a hell of a punch.

Such a great light! I honestly can't choose a favorite. Usually enamored by whatever is the newest. Right now it's a toss up between my F12 and the JohnnyMac Mini Mag, but I switch EDC at least twice a week.
I still love my Armytek Predator. Aside from being a great pocketable thrower, it has so much customization it’s almost like a toy. Why don’t more lights use customizable mode drivers???
My favorite flashlight is the UniqueFire UF-2100. It's compact, really cheap, and fairly bright. It's my go-to light. I know that there are better compact XM-L flashlights, but they cost more and I don't own them (yet).
I am torn between two, my fenix e20 and a Solarforce L2i with a nice five light level driver and SB neutral XML. I guess I would have to go with the l2i. I love the form and it has withstood extreme abuse. I use it every day.
I don't have just one favorite . . I pick from among several for different uses.
Besides, i still have some I want to mod to see if some might become more versatile.
+1 for the TK41, nothing else I have compares.
Currently, it's my Lighthound (Balder SE-1) with XML led. It's my only light w/ the soft start feature. Plenty of lumens (325 I reckon) on a 14500. Very pocketable. Forward clicky. Will tailstand while it's ON (but not OFF - button bulges). Won't roll away w/ clip attached. Nice wide flood pattern. Nicely spaced H-M-L (no disco strobe/sos etc). And less than $25 USD makes it not too shabby...
I'm gonna have to get one of them.
For Christmas my 9 yr old son bought me a Blue, Maglite 2d / 2aa combo.
I was pleased to say the least. When the wife told me that he had saved the money he earned doing chores / yard work to get them for me. They went straight to the top of my favorite flashlights ever list.
I added Terralux drop-ins and Maglite silver tailcaps & bezels.
We have the same taste.
But a close second would be the Sunwayman T40CS or possibly the Sunwayman V60C. Well I can't leave out the Olight M3X, Olight SR51 or the Crelant 7G5. I have some close seconds. Man this is tough.
But really the best overall quality light I have would have to be the Sunwayman V60C. But there is something about the Fenix TK41 that gets the nod.
My JETBeam BC40 or UltraFire UF-T50. BC40 because it's bright as hell and has the WOW factor when people see it. The UF-T50 because it's small, very comfortable in the hand, pocketable, has the side switch and infinite brightness settings. Overall what I use my light for most is walking the dog at night and the UF-T50 is the best light I have for that.
You should .
