Surefire E2D
Inova X1
Nitefighter BT40
Spark SD6-500CW
Dereelight Nightmaster
Orbita Lighthouse

Prometheus Alpha
Armytek Barracuda XM-L@ (either U2 or U3)
potentially a Rufis JR20
potentially an Armytek Predator Pro
potentially an Armytek Viking Pro
Here are a few of the questions we have for you guys.
To anybody that owns a Fenix LD12, Sunwayman V11R, Surefire E2D, or Inova X1: How well does your light work as an everyday carry light? Speaking in regards to versatility, size, etc. We’d like to know what others consider the perfect everyday carry light, especially those who’ve owned them.
To anybody that has tried a Dereelight Nightmaster: What do you use it for? It’s beam is pretty concentrated, so what’s the best use for it?
And to everybody: Opinions on the new Wicked Laser Arctic Phosforce attachment?
Thanks everybody. Can’t wait to hear the responses.
I have many flashlights, and the best flashlight is the one that I always have with me, so it’s a Fenix LD12 single AA, with belt holster as my EDC. As to the others in your list, I don’t own any of them so I’m not qualified to comment. 0:)
We are including the Orbita Lighthouse for a few different reasons.
Firstly, the post will be broken into four different sections: everyday carry, mounted, utility, and specialty. The Orbita Lighthouse will be under specialty, because it is a luxury light with some interesting features.
Secondly, we have a longstanding relationship with Orbita, as we use their watchwinders in our residential safes. We’re fond of their quality, so we decided to review their flashlights.
I’m not sure I’d call Orbita a “luxury brand” they took budget lights and gave them upgrades from the reviews I’ve read.
The V11r clip is good for inside pocket clip but it worried me a little for a work light. The magnetic control ring feels squishy in mine because they over greased it. Once it got worked in I loved being able to pick the brightness level before turning it on
Speaking only on my own selfless behalf, I would say that the best, quickest, most efficient and most honest and true way to get BLF feedback on these lights is to spread a few out to the faithful (such as myself) to try them out - a time honored and tested tradition at BLF.
I have lots of lights, but sadly not any of those and so will go back to looking at your very interesting website.
Thank you for explaining! Honestly, I did not know Orbita were a legitimate company until you and another member elsewhere mentioned the quality of their watchwinders. They posted here once but did not come back.
Anyway, do you know they are selling overpriced OEM gear? I hope this will be covered in your review.
