Getting the flashlight bug....need advice!

They knurling is not very aggressive, but I don't think you would have trouble with this light slipping, since it's so easy to grab onto the heat fins, and the other features aid in holding it.

The two lights, C20 and the Crelant, without opening them up to see the internal setup, appear to be exactly the same. I wasn't kidding... without the imprinted logos, you would not be able to tell them apart, not from anything you can see in normal use. If anything the LED on the C20 is centered just a bit better.

On both the edges along the ovals on the sides, and on the heat fins are kind of sharp... I would prefer them to be smoother. While otherwise perfect, the crelant is showing wear specifically on those sharp edges. I've been pocket carrying it for two weeks now.

About modding, I'll see what he shows with the beamshots. I figured with the XPG2, or XPE fully driven it would throw nicely... it's odd that he says the XML is better vs XML2. Depending on the results I might just sell one of these lights. (I need to recoup - I spent too much lately.)

I got the Zebralight SC52 yesterday, and I'm blown away by it. If the SC600 Mark II is as good, that will end up being my EDC 18650 light.

I like the Nitecore Ea4 and EC25, got them from fasttech.
The EA4 runs on 4aa Nimh batteries, 860 lumens and 20k lux.
IlluminationSupply sells them too

If anyone is interested, I will be selling my EA4W for $43 shipped anywhere in the US. It's like new, works perfectly.

Also looking to sell one modded, and one stock Skyray Kings.

What is the distance from the lights to the wall?

The 7G2CS is floodier than both of the nitecores.... much floodier than the EA8.

its like 6 feet away ...the ea8 has good flood to but u cant see it in the close up beam shot the ea4 has good flood to ...you cant go wrong with if you buy any of these lights'''
you can also run the ea8 on 4 batteries if u want it will have the same brightness

What I meant is the hotspot on the 7G2CS appears to be much smaller than on either of the other lights, where in reality it should be bigger.

Most likely this is just due to the shots being done at a close distance.

ea8 that tree is like 60 yards away
