Acebeam and Thrunite are my favs.
Yep, paisley...
Thrunite, Olight are my favorites
I’m surprised no one said UranusFire!
Sunwayman for factory lights. Convoy for fun mods.
Gonna have to try one ’o those Paisley. It’s well known Barbers and Raccoons have style and taste.
I’m a Convoy fan boy. I admit it. :bigsmile:
ThorFire has some good lights too. Their C8 is just as good as a Convoy but uses different drivers. Their BD series are identical to the Convoy BD series.
I don’t own any EagleEye lights but I do plan on getting a X6 one of these days. It looks like a nice light. Maybe I’ll come across a deal on a good used X6 Special Edition without any road rash. 
Fenix, MaxToch, SunWayMan, ThruNite, and Rofis. For the more budget-conscious brands, Eagle Eye, LuckySun, Convoy and Small Sun.
A vey spicey curry gives me that.
Surefire,(M3CB,961/962,9P,6P) the older ones!
Eagletac and Nitecore
PaisleyFire
Armytek wizard is by far my favourite and most indestructible headlamp and they make NW tints which is a HUGE bonus.
Other than Armytek, I’ve been impressed by sunwayman and olight quality. I’ve owned numerous nitecores and I have yet to feel confident with the quality and longevity of them. Fenix makes fantastic stuff but no real NW options.
Convoy.
I also have Fenix, Sunwayman, Thrunite, FourSevens and Olight, but my half dozen Convoys are the utilitarian, reliable, non-glamorous lights that seem to always get used. None of them cost very much, but I’ve never had one fail and I’ve been meddling in the guts of almost every one. Besides, if I lose one I’ll not be moaning and groaning over the loss of a hundred dollar glamour queen. The Convoys seem to be the pickup trucks of the flashlight world. They’re too busy working to have time for bragging.
My favourite is of course ultrafire, it comes from dozens of different manufacturers so you never know what your going to get (everyone wants to win the lottery), brightness ranges from low to medium (extending battery life), the materials are sometimes bendable (good for bulking up finger muscles), the anodizing is sometimes painted on (being easily removable means i can repaint the light a different colour without having to strip it with chemicals) and the LED chips are becoming more often fake (meaning lower price making it cheaper to buy hosts for modding). 
You can buy mine from the first group buy, been used twice, however shipping from Canada kills the deal.
I dunno, i don;t have a single favorite brand, as i like certain lights for different purposes from different brands. a few of them include Olight, fenix, Nitecore, Sunwayman, Surefire for the more expensive ones, then for the more budget ones a few from Trustfire, Convoy, Roche, & Skyray. (Even my Ultrafire M51 / MT-G2 light is near the top of my list. EDIT: i have to add my BLF X6, and Tank007 E09 to the list.
Newish to all this, but so far I like Fenix, Tank 007, Convoy, and my BLF Manker based on the one of each I’ve handled.
I’m brand-specific with only a few things. Good quality, performance, and bang-for-the-buck is what makes my faves with everything. Sticking with only one brand is a good way to miss developments and progress others make.

Convoy
Cheap but quality flashlight
Thrunite and Noctigon for me.
I have Eagtac, SWM, Fenix etc. and personally don’t find them as good as the other two.
ArmyTek is turning into my favorite bullet proof light. Solarforce host with intl-outdoors dropins 2nd, this is budget light forum. Then just about anything else I’m a light junkie.
