EDC is my Aurora V6 modded with an XM-L

and shiningbeam driver (tight fit with battery, will change driver) 2.8 amp 3 mode driver
i prefer the grab size (if a flashlight is too small its useless) and the tactical position of the switch on this size flashlight.
its smooth so it comes out of the pocket (or pocket on side of painters jeans)
its not too heavy but has enough weight so you know u havent lost it
its run time is great on high (about 50 mins) and even better on low.
its output is rediculous! it runs cooler than the previous XP-G, XR-E and MC-E versions i have made
its beam is smooth with a great throw, and very bright spill (no rings)
it can use 18650, OR cr123 in an emergency
oh and mines modded with a GITD tailcap too lol
well built, and super reliable. never been a fan of smaller flashlights, tho i do own some.
the BLF Mr.lite is not a bad 14500 flashlight, but is abismal on AA. also the switch likes to turn on when its dropped.... dont ask me why
the R5-a3 is a GREAT 14500 flashlight, and usable on AA, but falls short due to run time... AA batteries dry up quick
the S-A2 is a good 14500 flashlight, but abismal on AA. too light and cheap feeling
the Olight T20-R5 is awesome on cr123 (havent tried on rcr123), forward tactical, but doesnt use 18650, and Cr123's can get expensive. the mode switch is with twisting the head, which i love too!
i personally dont like any p60 style flashlight due to the poor design for heat sinking. I own: 501B, 502B, 502D, old surefire which is scratched to hell so i cant tell the model number. also their head is bigger so it means they can get stuck in the pocket
but overall, the V6 body offers the ability of an 18650/cr123, and with a T6 XM-L sends a TON of light in the direction you want it. great for blinding attackers lol
good heat sinking too!
when we get some warm weather here, i will have a thread on all my flashlights and their output in a one day take pictures event lol
ill set up at nighttime and compare them all. even the ocean state and big lots ones lol i dont have a single flashlight as dull as an old mag light tho lol
