I'm looking for a 18650 (or 2x18650 parallel) XM-L LED light that isn't a p60 host and can be made to tailstand. 3-4 normal modes is ideal, but I can live if flashing is required. Maybe the most important attribute is it must very floody, since I'll often use it as a hands-free "candle" in unlit attics, under sinks, basements, etc. I prefer brightness over runtime.
I've looked into several lights:
Yezl Y6: SMO reflector, looks more like a thrower
KD C8 XM-L: Seems to also be a SMO and thrower
DX Brinyte XML-C8 (or XML-900): Is this the best option? Shallow reflector, claims regulated 2.8A, OP reflector, looks like it would tailstand
Eastward YJ J06 ot J01: SMO, more of a thrower? No low mode
