I use Surefire and LensLight exclusively. All LED. All 123A power.

All of my business guns with provisions for a light are equipped with dedicated Surefires. Either Scout or X300.

For standard personal carry, from SF, I have the E2DL and M3. The M3 has an aftermarket LED head. From LL, I have the KO and Mini. Right now, LL Mini gets the most pocket time due to its small form factor. It is stupid bright. Two brightness settings. Adjustable focus. And I like the square spot that it throws. The Delrin clip does suck though, so I designed and built a much better deep pocket replacement out of Titanium.

Both brands are tough as nails. One of the plastic ears on the battery door of one of my X300s snapped off due to operator headspace and timing. Surefire had a free replacement in my hands in about four business days. Other than that, zero issues with any of these lights. They have been dropped on concrete, kicked, thrown, bashed into door jams, etc, and they just keep on ticking.

I have had lights from a bunch of other companies, and all of them had shortcomings. SF and LL, I would trust with my life.
