Notice a lot of these lights have selector rings. I agree, I want something with a selector ring.
Good god! Don't waste your time with DX... go to Lighthound right in Texas and get real batteries-in 1-2 days instead of decades!
Rich
The variable ring on the V10R is great. The low is low enough that I don't bother with the switch, just keep it on low. I can barely see the hotspot beyond a couple meters with night adjusted eyes, and I can look into the emitter even at night. Only thing is the runtime on low is at best a day. The stepped M10A/R has a low that is about 2 lumens comparing against a D10. Mode spacing is very nice on the M10A/R.
Only thing I dont lke about rings = resistance to dust/sand. Its perfectly waterproof and dust proof, but just the idea of getting sand stuck in a ring that turns and scrapes is not fun. Maybe its not really a problem, but I still get that feeling.
THe M60R is not a real thrower, its got a beam thats really broad. The beam is SUPER smooth however, with a perfectly uniform wide flood, with a very uniform wideish hotspot. Its a GREAT general purpose light with well spaced levels. Low could be lower (lows can ALWAYS be lower... hahaha) but otherwise its nice. Very blue tint, as is with most sunwayman lights, tints are very average. The V10R comes with a greenish tint.
I wonder if a motion control mechanism (like in Maglite XL100) would work more reliably.
Here in Turkey, I fill my petrol running Passat's fuel tank (~66lt) for $170, so a $100 is just a half tank, and a good buy :)
I'd love to have a Zebralight btw.
I believe the maglite XL-100 is fully hidden inside, so I wouldnt be as concerned about being thrown into the sand. However I dont see a tilting UI working too well in the dark if you need to read which way is up? I dont have one, I dont know...
If there is one light way out of budget range that appeals me is the TK-35.
Ow! That is expensive.
My tank is only 53l which helps.
Whats the price of fuel per litre. Apparently half of that is meant to be taxes already.
Petrol here is between $1.3 to 1.4 per L
Diesel is $1.4-1.6 per L
Petrol is $2.50 per L, well actually it is $0.76 in real plus the taxes :)
Diesel is $2.00 per L
Petrol is up to $2.10/litre in the cities - more outside them. I can usually get it for around $2.05.
Diesel is more - can't remember how much more.
So there isn't that much a difference between us. We tought we were using the most expensive fuel in the World.
Oh and I rechecked how much is Fenix TK45 is here. It is $200. 
Here in Argentina, Petrol $1.00 and Gasoil $0.85 per litre. It seems to be cheap, but salaries here are much lower than in US or Europe, so it's ok, or even expensive for us..
That is true. The average wage here is around US$500 a week after taxes - about $800 before. So an average worker would have to work for around ten minutes to buy a litre of petrol.
Twenty years ago it would have been around four minutes.
Hm... well, guess I can't complain - I'm at $1.25/litre here in Canada, however we are one of the largest non-OPEC crude oil exporters in the world.
About $2.1 per liter here. And minimum wage is about $900 / month.
Now, if money were no object I would hit TK-35 (I will probably do anyway) and Thrunite catapult. These are my first thoughts, give me a bag of money and I will find many more 
Me too! But if there are any bags of money going, I'll be wanting them first!
The Zebralight angle lights also look interesting. H51 - Angle form factor + reflector should be nice.
P.S.: Don't get me started on gas prices. Either a brand light or a nice motorcycle tour.
Sorry Don, I haven't found any bags like this yet... But, I know who knows where these bags might be found! Politicians in my country... they find these kind of bags every day
Last motorcycle tour I went on degenerated into a race by lunchtime on the first day. The plan was to trundle round all of Scotland's coast. We'd planned to do about 200km a day. The reality was different. We'd covered more than 200km in the first two hours..
Fortunately we all lived, but my fuel and spark-plug consumption was utterly ridiculous. I had the smallest engine and the shortest range (Under 50km if I was working it hard and is there any other way to do it) so had to compensate by complete craziness. On a small engined, over tuned two-stroke. The clouds of pollutants were impressive.
The "tour" ended days early when I melted the middle piston. You used the brakes, not the throttle as it'd melt pistons on the overrun if you just shut the throttle. I forgot this rather important fact....
Tuned: heads flattened on a sheet of glass with grinding paste, then the cylinders, no head gasket and two base gaskets. Exhaust ports widened to just before the point where the piston rings could fall out (ruined an engine finding out where to stop), ports mirror polished, airbox removed (which made it very, very loud which was probably illegal even then - this was more than 25 years ago) and the oil pump uprated hence the clouds of pollutants. Even in stock form 1960's Kawasaki S1's were not known for their reliability. But it would do 175kph.
On a good day.
If you were completely insane.
The engine would do it, but the chassis appeared to be made of rubber! Not a good thing when going round corners at stupid speeds.
Agreed on the Zebralight in a probably pointless effort to drag myself back on-topic. After all, it appears that I was the prime offender in dragging this one way off topic.
I've had an H50 for several years and it was only recently that any other headlamp even remotely interested me. The UF-H3 was less than I paid for the Zebralight, has a longer runtime and is almost twice as bright on high - but it is a lot bigger. The extra weight is irrelevant to me - the UF works pretty well clipped into a pocket. My Zebralight has the rubber band pocket clip which I may have used twice. It never felt all that secure and I was confident enough in the toughness of the Zebra to just leave it to fight it out with the keys and coins in my pocket.
The H51 looks like a very nice upgrade. More light, a very low low and days of runtime on minimum level. There is no point at all in having throw on a 3 lumen light. For what I, but not some others, want from a headlamp the floody beam is perfect. If you do want throw from a headlamp, the Spark ones look interesting. With multiple dogs in the park at night I could see uses for the 360 lumen Spark headlamp. If it were a sane thing to do going into my local park after dark. I prefer my body un-stabbed so prefer not to go there at night. It is about 300m from where I live.
And I definitely still lust after a Xeno Cube. Preferably with an XM-L conservatively driven - stainless steel lights really aren't that good at moving heat away from where you don't want it.
The Nitecore D10/11 are as near as I'll ever be getting to a McGizmo light. Probably as close as I'd want to get.
