'''[[Olight]] i3''' 3-mode 1xAAA twisty with XP-G. Went on clearance at 4Sevens, so I bought two in red and two in purple to give away (opened the purple one). | |||
'''<STRIKE>[[4Sevens|Quark]] 123² Tactical</STRIKE>''' 2xCR123A 2-mode with 7 programmable levels. Couldn't stand the preflash on Low and had to return it. Great light except that when you want Low it's like a camera flash going off first (not all the time).

'''[[UltraFire]] MCU WF-1200L''' 2x18650 3-mode (HMS) SSC P7 light with big head for throw. [http://budgetlightforum.com/node/149 My Review]. When the Cree XM-L came out, I upgraded the LED and got rid of the donut hole. | '''[[UltraFire]] MCU WF-1200L''' 2x18650 3-mode (HMS) SSC P7 light with big head for throw.

'''UltraFire WF-501B''' 1x18650 P60 host with a 5-mode Cree MC-E. Claims to be M bin, but who knows? Almost too bright: if you use it outside the very bright spill on the foreground ground or overhanging trees prevents you from seeing very far. I swapped out Shiningbeam's 3-mode P7/MC-E driver for the original, but light output was about the same. Prominent doughnut in beam partially fixed by swapping out a reflector. Th MC-E now lives in my Solarforce L2 and the 501B houses the XR-E R2 that was in my 504B.
