I need a new light. Right now, a zebralight sc31 (or sc52) is dominating my mind. its been on my list for a while but i never got around to it. ive also been looking at the m11r a lot. eagletac is an option, but i own one (had another) and while i like it find its nothing special..........what do you think? do you have recommendations along these lines>?

The V10R and V11R suck. The slow on is fucking annoying. The variable is so gimmicky it's sickening. You'll have to constantly check, "where is the fucking ring positioned" before turning it on and then there is the split second ramp up, that makes me want to punch a kitten.

The M11R from the factory, has very wimpy detents. When turning it on, you can easily pass low and hit medium before you realize it. This is a big deal in the middle of the night when you blind yourself.

The M11R is my current light. I made several mods that make it near perfect. A clicky button would be ideal, but I can't spend $85 on a V11R just to harvest the clicky.

I don't know about the others, but I'm sure I've looked at them and dismissed them for one reason or another. Likely the UI.

you might just be pickier than average, im thinking........since the sunwayman lights seem to have glowing reviews over all from what ive seen

you havent had a zebralight?

do you have something you have settled on? a brand you prefer?

Sunwayman gets rave reviews because people are stupid. People like gimmicks.

I was stuck on the BC10 for ages. The medium lumen was great and the turbo was bright. I used to think bright was important. While it's fun to light up the yard, lower lumens are more functional. The M11R has IMO a great set of levels. Low low for night navigation. Medium is good utility and high is...well I haven't really needed high for anything yet.

I like the build quality of Sunwayman. Even with the V11R. That said, I had no problem with Jetbeam either. They all seem similar enough.

Ok I ordered a zebralight, but I went AA instead of 123, and neutral instead of cool. The interfaceooks awesome, it should be great for edc
