OK, guyz, I'm a semibudget light lover, and I think it is time to switch to new li-ion batts (18650) and XML (and my b-day is right around the corner 0:) )
Price range? Yeah, $0-35 more or less :bigsmile: Semibudget XMLs are a little bit pricey at this time (unless paying 5-10 bucks more I will get a much better light), so will need to buy my first budget light $)
A must have:
- multimode
- XML T6 obviously :bigsmile:
- 1x18650
- need more throw that flood (but without getting cree rings)
Another things I would like to have (but not a must have):
- at least 3 level of brightness (low-med-hi or starting with med, preferably)
- ability to tailstand
- memory mode :exmark:
- all those things like: waterproof, glass lens, HAII or HAIII ( :p ) coating, good heatsinking...
Don't mind:
- if it's a body+dropin
- color, body shape/size
- don't mind ext. tube for 2x18650
Don't want:
- party modes, but hey? What lights doesn't have them? :~
So, here some lights that can suits my needs (if you know another light, please suggest it :D ):
