Flashlight options?

Check out suprabeam lights, I own one of their big ones (q7xr) and I've been very impressed with it. The thing is ridiculously bright. Mine is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery but some of their smaller lights are AA and AAA powered. Lee Valley tools sells them, not sure who else.

I just got a Fenix E12 from REI. It uses one AA and has low, med and high settings w/a tail switch. It can reach 130 lumens w/a NIMH battery. I also like the Streamlight Pro Tac AAA light as my EDC.
 
I know im late to the party but I recommend looking at the Duracell Durabeam Ultra. It has two flashlight per pack, is 500 lumins each and feature a high beam, low beam and strobe settings and they run on 3 C batteries each and can be had for around $30 (I got mine for $20 at Costco). Probably not the greatest quality on the market but for 2 500 lumin flashlights for around $30 they're hard to beat.
 
And hey, if you are looking for a big chunky light, can't go too wrong there. Its kinda too bad D and C lights have fallen out of favor. not many companies still do them in the mid-high end. most of Pelicans C and D LEDs are just conversions of their xenon lights, but I guess when you've spent the cash for MASHA cert and have a locked in customer base, its not like anyone else is going to jump in much. I still love how long my LED 2Dmag runs for, not pretty, but it doesn't get lost in the junk drawer!

What were you searching, that you found this 3.5 yr old thread & felt compelled to post?

Not disputing that the E12 is a great light... but I certainly don't consider it high output in today's market
