I was very stubborn about not using 14500 cells.

The Thorfire TK05 is really nice as a 14500, but I carry an 18500 quad daily, never without it. When I discovered the Samsung LH351D in 80 CRI at 5000K I updated this quad from XP-L HI under a Khatod optic to the Sammy under a Carclo optic, with a very pleasant result of a Beam profile that is essentially one large hot spot. This light comes in handy on a regular basis, with Bistro allowing 7 levels and reversing function so its easy to stay in ultra low levels when required. With a Turbo over 3200 lumens and a moon around 1/3 of a lumen I’m always ready for whatever presents. The 18500 cell with 1000mAh capacity allows that extra bit of run time as well as power.

Of course, the 10440 Texas Poker is always around my neck waiting to be needed. :wink: In spite of it’s rather dimunitive size it can still put out over 700 lumens and makes a good showing of itself. :smiley: I have a spare 10440 in a custom Ti carrier on my key-chain should it be required.

Also have the super tiny DQG Spy on my keychain, just in case…

The newly announced GT micro has my eye… will def be getting this new 14500 asap to add to my arsenal.

A quick pic of part of my EDC, these 3 are with me always… regardless of what else I may carry…
