I need a brighter light, fast. I'll be using 18650s primarily. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me, I know they are sort of specific questions, but I don't have a chance to go put my hands on one in the next fews days.

I've watched youtube vids, and I have the physical size specs. This isn't going to be a CCW light, but I want to know how it fits in a BDU regular size "hands" pocket or rear "wallet" pocket: Lense up or down. It doesn't need to be concealed, but it needs to not fly out easily if I need to move, and be easy enough to pull out and use with one hand.

Also, with the streamlight tap-ten, whatever system. I want it to be either momentary-(Brightest setting possible), and click (Brightest setting possible). Is that a doable setting with the click-through programming? Do I need to (reprogram it?) reset it when I switch batteries?

Thanks again.

I have had the light and have been using it for a few weeks.

Super bright. Almost too bright to use as a general flashlight on it's brightest setting. More of a yellowish type of light than my other LED "white" lights. I haven't played with trying to program the tap-ten crap on it. So far it's been perfect for desert night type work use, and it's bright enough to disorient people in a regularly lit office building.

I've used it a couple times in a BDU type pocket. The rear pocket it fits fine and stays put with some running around, which was an important thing.

Here's a pic for comparison to a SF 6p, a nitecore light, and a g17 mag.

Hopefully that helps somebody if they are looking.
