Yeah, the Fenix LD's were on the short list, but then I started reading about some issues with them over on CP forum, so....
Was also really liking the Quarks, but apparently the threading isn't the greatest and wears out quicker than average.
Back to the drawing board.
Protac's are nice, but.... kind of want something with a little wider range of modes.
Sunwayman and Nitecore are actually looking pretty good right now....
Edit- So after another day of research, apparently the Sunway's don't like to be dropped, and the NC's selector ends the "low" mode at the full power strobe option. WTF? That's not tactical!
Gear merry-go-rounds are fun!

I carry a Pelican 2360. Very bright, super tough and not too expensive when you drop it in a lake while holding it in your mouth untying some buoys after a race...or so I've heard
I've been a huge 4sevens fans for years. I carry a 123^2 turbo everyday but I have a AAx2 that I have in my bug out bag due to the ease of finding batteries if I need them. All are great lights.
I've been very happy with my Surefire Fury with momentary ONLY tailcap, 500 lumen model; I haven't yet seen the brighter than the sun 1000 in the flesh yet.
Maglite xl 50 I've dropped it on concrete bout 10ft threw it (by accident), this thing just works
I just want to mention that the ProTac line now comes with a much improved pocket clip. The old version had short, stubby arms that barely wrapped around and a straight edge that didn't seat well against the end cap. The new version's arms are much longer, and it has a notch that seats well against the end cap. The clip was my only real complaint with the line, and now it's been almost completely fixed.
In that price range, the Fenix lights have worked for out very well for me.
The E21 was intended to be a cheap, beater light, and has well exceeded my expectations. I expected a cheap light to not give a crap about, and has never given me a single issue. It's been a solid performer, especially considering the price.
It's been dropped, submerged, thrown, and generally neglected, and is still working.
