Personal opinion:
The very first light should either be:
i. A pure tactical light in the lines of the TK series, M20 warrior etc - 1*18650 or
ii. A very comfortable EDC - 1*123
- fully moddable. Easy to change pills when newer better LEDS come out.
- good heatsinking, anticipating high output LEDs in the future
- the LED should be optional. Let the LYN flashaholic members choose their LED, reflector etc. But maybe a mix of decent flood + throw will suit general tastes. But i think a lot will prefer a bit more on the throw side haha.
Just covering some basics that I think should be there. But again its personal opinion.

Other things such as modes etc I really don't mind anything. Am use to the various modes of my lights and they don't bother me. As long as you don't have strobe before 3 seconds can already lol.
Everyone will definitely choose IPX8.
Colour - black. But again, I don't mind any colour. But betcha it'll be either black or olive drab.
Maybe the option of strobe. Pretty sure non of us will use beacon or SOS. But again, strobe or no strobe is no problem.
*might be awesome if someone can actually design the outlook of the light itself. Then we vote. The winner gets serial number 1.
Should have a serial number and if everyone is willing, etched with our nicks.
