T2L4* Tactical Lights

*Things To Look For
(Tactical torch torches torchlights torchlight light lights flash flashlight flashlights)

Critical

• At least 600 lumens
• Strobe mode
• Dim mode (<40 lumens)
• Can choose which mode it turns on and off in - I don't want to blind myself with the brightest mode every time I turn it on, or have to scroll through modes
• Regulated power (light doesn't get dimmer as batteries run out)
• Accepts both rechargeable lithium and disposable batteries, in case I can't charge it
• Lock-out mode
• Flat base to stand on
• Doesn't roll
• Water submersible (IPX8)

Optional

• USB charging
• "Zoomable", convertible between flood and spot, without affecting waterproofing - doesn't seem likely, I had a look and the only big brand that had this was LED Lenser
• Battery charge indicator
• Pocket clip (bidirectional is a bonus)
• Preferably side switched

Here are some USB charging torches I've found:

• Nitecore MH25 - 860-40 lumens, SGD$125 on Nitecore site. 18650, CR123 or rechargeable CR123 (RCR123) batteries (can only charge 18650). Switch tends to break. Lowest setting still too high. Hard to select modes.
• Nitecore P25 - 860-2 lumens, SGD$155 on Nitecore site. CR123, 18650 or RCR123 batteries. Higher-end than the MH25, with more modes, a wider brightness range and weapon mounting. Can indicate battery voltage!
• Nitecore P12 - similar functions, modes and brightness to the P25, but smaller (2.54 cm throughout). No USB charging. 90 grams. Can indicate battery voltage!
• Nitecore MH2C - 800-39 lumens, SGD$120 on Nitecore site, USD$57 on Amazon. 18650, CR123 or rechargeable CR123 (RCR123) batteries (can only charge 18650). Similar specs to the MH25, but with a constant-width body like the Fenix UC40UE (the MH25 and P25 have heads wider than their bodies).
• Fenix UC40UE - 960-10 lumens, USD$86 on Amazon. 18650 or CR123A batteries.
• Klarus RS16 - magnetic charging connector. SGD$105 on Black Tactical. 16340 or CR123A batteries.
• Klarus ST11 - 900 lumens, SGD$100 on Black Tactical. USB charging cap S$29 more. No non-rechargeable batteries.
• Klarus XT11 Gen 4 - 820 lumens, SGD$110 on Black Tactical. No USB charging. 18650 or CR123A batteries.
• Klarus RS11 (new model) - 930-5 lumens, SGD$160 on Black Tactical (old model). 18650 or CR123 batteries with USB charging. Magnetic charging cable attachment - like Apple's MacBooks. No need for rubber port covers! Has "variable frequency" strobe, by which they mean the strobe cycles between 2 fixed frequencies, not that you can tune the frequency. I can't find the new model for sale anywhere.
