Photon Freedom on my keyring.
Maglite, both 2D and 3D and retrofitted with LED bulbs.
UK4AA eLED I've got three of the Underwater Kinetics lights, one yellow and two black. Good solid lights which have a flat output curve for ~20 hours. These are my go-to lights, good balance of output, size and battery life.
Gerber Infinity Ultra. Single AA light which also gets a lot of mileage on batteries.
Peak Matterhorn 1xAAA Great pocket light, right up there with the Arc model, but less pricey.
I've also got the Arc 1xAAA, nice light but hard to justify the wait and $$.
Surefire 6P.
Surefire G2.
Princeton Tec EOS LED Headlamp Excellent headlamp.

Could you add some info on the Cree lights? I knew Cree made high end LEDs, but didn't know they made flashlights.

Edit: Cree's website Remember, Cree is an LED company, not a flashlight company. You can put a great LED in a so-so flashlight. I'll wait for the reviews.

Surefire M6 - powerful, sits on my duty belt, good for street work and defense

Surefire E2L -nice two stage LED light was my edc at first but now rides in my car as a backup light. Pretty cool and decent throw.

Surefire E1L - my main EDC. click on light, small, nice power

Gladius - small duty light, very powerful throw, many power settings, strobe mode

Various photon lights: in different places: key chains, zipper pulls

Krill lights: camping

Glo-toob: diving, camping and faks

Inova 24/7: biking, good light, multicolor strobe function but I broke quite few of them and dont trust them much

Inova X5 UV - ultraviolet light mosty for play around the ambulance.

Tektite Expedition 1400, 14 LED - diving light, hate it since it got no throw and too wide deam, bought it by mistake but it works and havent failed me.

yeah, thats what i meant. actually the numbers on the CREE are impressive all around. around half the power draw and twice the output. here's one of the latest beamshot comparisons against a LuxV:

http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=140215

lots of other posts about the cree's outstanding performance on CPF. only one (rather pricey) but great light available right now (Aleph19) but i'd expect many new offerings in the very near future.

Thanks for the link. I knew Cree made top-of-the-line LEDs, didn't realize they were that far in front of the luxeon emitters. Keep an eye on these.

Here are mine

1 Kel-Light 3 D cell police flashlight. A good light in its time, but very heavy and bulky. It also needs to be refurbished as I have noticed the paint is fading out.

Mag-Lites
1 2 D cell, which I found and has some minor wear to it. In storage mostly now.
1 2 C cell, which I keep in the bedroom
2 AA Mini-Mags. I bought one to supplement the Kel-Light and the other was found.
1 Solitaire

ARC AAA Premium Flashlight. I HATE this thing. Works maybe 50% of the time. If it wasn't a gift, I would have gotten rid of it.

Streamlight Keymate, I bought this one to originally replace the ARC AAA. Hence it gets the most use.

CountyComm Keychain flashlights
1 White
2 Red, which are used with a Mini-Mag in my Telescope kit.

Surefire 6P Original, I bought in 1990. I bought this to replace the Kel-Light. I also use this one quite a bit when I am running shifts on the ambulance.

That’s all,

Stargazer
