EagleTac has three different ways of quoting lumen output for its lights: emitter lumens, out-the-front (OTF), or [[ANSI-NEMA FL-1|ANSI]] FL-1, so be careful when comparing light outputs of different versions. If the output type isn't listed, it is probably emitter lumens which they used up until late 2010.

'''D25 Clicky Series''' This is a series of lights with the same user interface. All are 10-mode reverse clicky flashlights with 3 constant modes in addition to 7 flashy modes available by cycling through the constant modes twice. When switched to High, the light will be in Turbo mode for 90 seconds before backing down to High. With the head loosened, all 10 modes are available. With the head tightened, the modes alternate between Turbo and Strobe. A group of lower modes (Moonlight, Low, Med instead of Low, Medium, High) is available by twisting the head back and forth three times from the loosened position. Mode memory is optional via three twists from the tightened position. Originally this light was introduced with five different LED's available: Cree XM-L U2, Cree XP-G S2, or the new Cree XT-E R5 in addition to neutral Cree XM-L T6 and Cree XP-G R4. However the initial batch of XT-E lights were recalled due to problems with beam quality. In September 2012 EagleTac announced that Cree XP-G2 LED's would be available. In April 2013 lights with the Cree XM-L2 were available. A clicky body was also made available to allow people who had twisty D25 mini's to convert their light to a clicky. The clicky series was introduced in May 2012.
