Jetbeam WL-S2 from Battery Junction. Seven modes, 900 lumens max, runs on CR123, 16340, 18650, and even AA!
Grab one today! I think the code cpf2010 saves another 5 percent, might be some other codes out there as well.

I've been using Jetbeam for years.
So far, I'm a huge fan. The build quality is great, and I find the value to be top notch. |

I'm hoping to be impressed by these lights, they look all tactical an shit
I have a surefire 300ultra as a weapon light and it is unbelievably bright, so I am curious what 900 lumens does in the barnyard

I have to ration myself on guns, ammo, knives, and flashlights ... but next year's ration is coming quickly!!!! I prefer Jetbeam to Fenix, but I think Jetbeam is usually generous (compared to Fenix) with their lumen ratings, based on reviews of a couple lights I've read. Quality is comparable between the two, but I prefer the look of the Jetbeam lights. I have an RRT0 that I've owned for years and it's had no issues being dropped, submerged or run through the wash. They are GTG, and I've always been a die hard SF fan boy. |

Interesting battery compatibility. Indeed - The description says you need the WL-S1 tube to use AA batteries. Does it come with that tube? I searched the site for it, only came up with a WL-S1 light. I also have the Fenix PD35, which looks exactly like it. The battery compatibility is interdasting. ETA: Will it tail stand? The PD35 is also an awesome light, I have the 2014 edition but it doesn't tail stand.

In all honesty, nothing beats a good quality super bright flashlight. Picked mine up for around $70. That's less than half the cost for a Surefire and twice as bright. I've dropped mine so many times I've lost count. Looks like crap now but functions flawlessly. Also, with a flashlight costing me so much I'm less likely to lose it
