Check out www.4sevens.com I tghink they carry most high end lights, and if you get a Fenix light, they give a lifetime warranty on them. I think they carry the T10L also.

Thats a good light!
It seems to have about 1000 more lux@1m. than the Fenix TK11.
One thing Im not impressed with is the run time/output graph:

Fenix TK11:

Olight seems to start at 80% and go down when used with the 18650 batt. And the "green" tint, Im not a fan of. I like a more "white" beam.

yeah, the thing that I liked about the M20 is the fact that it has a 7 lumen mode. But, it seems like switching the modes could be annoying (rotate CW 1/4 turn, then rotate CCW to get to next output). I think it's back to the TK11 and T10L now.

Yeah, some of those lights seem a little too complicated for what the intended use for them is. I just want one output. 2 is ok, as the user control is easy. But some of those lights, especially that "infinitely adjustable output" ones are a little too much work for me to bother with for a flash light.

I ordered a bunch of lights from Fenix-Store.com and I've been using them, but I haven't done a formal beam comparison.

The TK11 is one hell of a light. I use it when I need to get some good throw, but the one that I carry every day is the L0D. It uses a single AAA battery and is barely noticeable in my pocket. I also bought the E01, which is about the same size as the L0D, uses 1 AAA, costs $15, but it is dim. I really like being able to adjust the brightness on the L0D. I can get it dimmer than the E01 and bright enough to see about 30' away at night. The P1D is also a very nice light. Not as bright as the TK11, but it is much smaller and has brightness settings. It comes with a textured reclector so you get a better spread for when you're up close.

The only thing that I don't like about the lights is the method to turn the light on and adjust the brightness. You have to turn the head on the light to turn it on, then you turn it off and on quickly for the next setting, and you leave it off for 1.5 seconds and it will reset. When I go to turn it on by screwing the top, I often accidentally cycle through a few brightnesses.

i have an o light is pretty cool if you click the button 2 times its a strobe 3 times it does morse code s.o.s i use it for work but if you were stuck on the highway it might come in handy its also 100 lumes led white light so you can see it far away and its only about the size of a AAA maglight

6 Maglight rechargeables. (The kind the cops use) Nice flashlight, lasts hours which is necessary for my work. Also - Send them in when they stop working right and they send them back working again. I think its a 'lifetime warranty'. All charge in vehicle or at home.
1 Streamlight rechargeable (Had before the Maglights, not bad, but liked the Maglights better)
1 Night tracker (1 million candle... rated for 3 hours per charge)

I changed my 4 cell over. The battery life was worth it and the beam is fine. I keep it in my Taco because a flashlight is just a flashlight even though you can beat the shit out of someone with it. I have a streamlight for work stuff. I like the slim barrel and the rechargeable batteries are relatively cheap. The streamlights come with a house and a vehicle charger.
I keep an intertec "Surefire knockoff" for my AR. That tactical light is wicked bright and small. It loves batteries though.
