Actually, if I had to pick anything, it would be this light . I just think it's sweet looking, because I favor smooth lines over all the medieval bumps. I think it might be an ok thrower.
I like the looks too, better than the hd2010. But personally I don't care much for 26650 flashlights, it makes the light fatter than a 18650 model, and the 26650 batteries are not as much better as they are bigger.
There's two hd2010 lights at tmart on special for 25 dollars, so not much gain on those with a group buy I guess?

Ah I see, thanks. I had read the bits re no modding by tmart and was cool with that, I want to mod it myself to learn on. But I had not realised that it wasnt available in XML2 nor in 2800ma. That last one surprises me most as I see that number talked about in much smaller flashlights. I either assumed, was confused, or both.
As I said, I have much to learn. Cheers.
Actually you got m interested in this one . But I must not, I ordered enough lights i have no real explanation for already. I can justify the HD2010 as I bought the pill, it would be wasteful not to use it. I cant justify the pill, but that was only $20 so is much easier to get away with.
Plus 1 (I like the looks)
2nd choice HD2010

I don’t know, all the ones I see are in the thirties, for pricing. I don’t see anything priced in the twenties for the 2010.

I have had enough HD-2010s, even had a couple from Tmart.
How about a UF-2200 ?
Silver or black, 26650 or 18650, C8 sized workhorse.

At this point, the majority seems to lean towards the HD2010. I can understand the desire to have one or more than one, as I need two myself, but I can also see the negatives. It does go on sale often and there is the driver lottery with it.
The rest seem to be hit or miss, so I am going to say that the HD2010 will be one that I ask the Tmart rep about.
How does everyone feel about this light? BeamTech BT-950L It has been reviewed at BLF here .
No one selection will please everyone and the majority will rule in the long run.

What about a host only?
They don’t sell host only. Tmart just sells stock lights. They have never gotten into the host/mod/component thing like some sellers. Actually, they are more like DX where they sell all kinds of items and flashlights is just a small part of the mass of items they sell.

What about the D9?

I'd try the BeamTech, they probably won't go lower than their sale price on a HD2010 anyway.

Well there no point of grupbuy if the price would be the same as regular price.

TangsPower Cree XML-U2 5000LM 5 LEDs
What about this? I would really be fine with any of the lights that have been listed so far
Not with XM-L’s. And most certainly not without knowing what the driver was like.
