Out of the major available lights, which ones have you tried, which ones do you like/would or do continue to use, and which ones are crap?

By Major I mean the following


SureFire
Streamlight
Insight Technologies
Glock
Blackhawk

My experience with the tac lights are limited to the one I had from Glock for a while. It was decent, and served a good purpose as a bedside tool. I can definately see advantages, in my situation at least, for having a weapon-mounted light. Forget the ones with lasers- they seem kinda stupid to me. Project a blinding beam of light at someone/something, and then shine a tiny red laser beam into said white-light beam...ooooooohkay. Anyway...

One of these days when fundage allows, I'm planning to get another one. Right now I'm leaning toward Insight's M3X or plain ol' M3 light, but that might change with time. My requirements are simple - 2 CR123 batteries, and an incandescent lamp. No LEDs because they do not have the throw or blinding power of incandescent lights. It'd be a snap-on-the-gun-at-bedtime tool, that'd come off during the day for CCW of the gun.

Now is not a good time to acquire one.

The manufactures will all soon upgrade their LED's to the new Cree LED's which give almost double the light performance with even better run times then the current Lux LED models they offer now. Surefire will very soon have their new X300 out which is 120 lumen with a 2.5 hour runtime vs the current 65 lumen X200B at 1.5 hours.

Someone only glanced at the post ;) I don't want an LED light - their throw sucks as does their blinding ability compared to incandescent lights - your own tests proved such. Run time doesn't matter as much to me as does pure hardcore blind-the-asshole-who-broke-in-to-my-house ability does. I want a retina fryer, or as close as I can get without strapping one of Black Bear 84's gazillion lumen beasts to my gun. The light should be able to be used outside too - because it'll likely find it's way onto the gun when I'm camping or know I'll be spending time outdors at night. I'm just nt all hot about LED's for that purpose - to me an LED is a work light for close quarters, or for use where there is little to no ambient light present - that's where they shine, no pun iended.
