What kind of lights are you finding more interesting these days? I’m not necessarily asking which you use most often as that would probably be a keychain light.
However, that may or may not be the type of light that you find the most interesting.
From looking at the threads I would guess that maybe it’s the larger lights since there is a lot of interest in 3 XM-L.
Or maybe those who are buying larger XM-L lights are just the more prolific posters? 
I thought a poll might be interesting. I greatly prefer smaller lights both in terms of practicality and in terms of interest. Ugly designs also don’t seem quite so ugly when the lights are smaller
I think I also expect bigger lights to put out more light but at a certain point it just feels like I’m trying to light up the entire outdoors. When I see a small light that puts out more light than I was expecting that’s more interesting to me for some reason.
I do have a TrustFire XP-E F23 (1xAAA) that's my EDC light, but I carry it seperate from my keys and that's all I need in small format.
Except for that one I prefer larger lights, currently the C8 format seems the most interesting, both in XM-L as in XR-E configuration.
The regular p60 size is just perfect for me. don't really need anything bigger or smaller unless we are talking special purpose like constant carry/ EDC or searchlights.....
im on a p60 "compatible" kick right now,so i voted p60 or smaller. i just got my tf-r2 last week, got a 502b xml that should be here next week, and an going to order a mxdl 3w cr1223a that reportedly takes a p60 pill with some modification. the tf-r2 i guess would be technically bigger than a p60 format light though i guess
larger lights do interest me, but the cost is over y budget, and larger lights wont get used as much by me
To me P60's are "large".
"Small" to me means AA or smaller.
That said I own two 6D Mags and several 2-3D ones. Don't own any C Mags - never seen one other than in pictures. C cells seem to be a minority (Read USA) interest. hat said, I own two 4C lights - one of them a 3D Mag mod and one of them designed for 4C.
I also own a few CR2 lights and a lot of very small ones.
Yeah, P60 is a little large in my opinion as well but I figured if I included P60 with the large lights everyone would vote for large and it wouldn’t tell me as much.
I like having both of them, I like ultra-small (like TR-803, i love it!), some P60 and bigger too... This is something like a vicious
I´m planning to get somday a multi-emitter, multi-18650 light but not yet.
Smaller lights seem to interest more because of easier carry and no real need to get ridiculous amounts of light and/or runtime.
Price is also a factor.
At work, it absolutely can not be larger than a P60 size flashlight and that's also the biggest torch I'm willing to EDC. However, as a hobby, I don't generally find small lights all that interesting. As usual, I'm interested in things I can't afford.
Big and bright . . . specifically, (the) bigger and/or (the) brighter, (the) better.

P60ish... or smaller size for an EDC, but then again, the EDC isn't interesting to me, it's part of my work, so it's more of a necessary tool. The other reason I only carry a small EDC is that here in TX if I were to carry something like a 4D at work and ever had to use it for defense, I could be prosecuted for intentionally using a "Night Stick". Non-coms (non comissioned guards) can't carry anything which could be considered "useable as a weapon".
Bright is what I always end up looking at for mods, the newest "ultimate LED", but I can't ever afford them, so I usually build ones that have gone past their prime. I guess I favor a light more by the looks of it than the size. Mag-Lites (D size) are a standard and I love the modded ones. Usually at least a 50mm or Larger diameter head and at least a "3AA" or larger diameter body, but short. I Don't like anything longer than a 2D and prefer a 1D length type light. Overall looks are the primary factor for me.
I would want only small lights, like Fenix LD01 size, if they could produce 2000+ lumens, not get hot, and run on High mode for 1 hour or more. :)
Since those don't exist yet, I'm forced to get bigger lights. Since I already have good small lights, I'm mostly interested in the bigger lights right now, but not because they're bigger; because they're brighter. So among the "bigger" lights, I'm only interested in the "small" pocketable ones that still have tons of output.
Small lights for up close and flood .
Large lights for throw .
