Guys, what do you think of the Proton Pro? Selling for USD37.95 at Battery Junction. Here's a review of the Proton Pro. Kinda unique and I like the deep pocket clip. Thinking of getting this and the Quark Mini or ITP A2.
Hrmm, the proton looks like a good light, boost circuit only and it has better efficiency with NiMH. I'm not sure if the UI has a memory function, it seems like it always starts at Max? Then press hold to ramp down to your desired output. When you switch it off, and on again it goes back to Max? Going in and out of signaling mode seems time consuming though, But I guess it's okay cause they are somewhat "hidden", so your normal operation wouldn't be a bother.

Solarforce would be a good start with reasonable pricing off the shelf and good quality ! Comparing Xeno and Mr. Lite, i would rather go for the Xeno G5 [ the surefire C2 clone ]....just only diff of +- USD10 in terms of pricing but the Xeno's quality assured. here's my summarized of these 3 lights;
1. SolarForce [ Lm series ] - Cheap, Good Quality, Body parts are easily available and can do 'lego'ing
2. Xeno G5 [ surefire C2 clone ]- Slightly expensive than Mr. Lite, Top notch quality, their spare parts are very complete, best looking light among all
3. Mr. Lite - not sure of it's quality, design is least preferred among all, willing to accommodate any our request, and the're coming out with SST-50 light soon....
my others criteria preferred:
1. must be P60 compatible
2. less people own it [ the model ] so this will become unique than the rest of the lights
3. cheap / reasonable priced without sacrificing the build quality
4. manufacturer must willing to accommodate to any our reasonable request
5.
6.
i would rather we get it right even for the first time [ as most of you guys are expert in this and know exactly what you want or expected ]
my important criteria is that it should be P60 compatible. Having our first light Bright Side is important as to be able to accept P60 compatible drop-in in near future, which will be our second project.

), not 2 seconds, and it remembered the last mode (if it won't remember the Strobe/SOS mode is even better). So it makes it virtually single mode flashlight, good for ppl that like surefire styles (1 mode), but also suitable for emergency usage (strobe/SOS0) because, you can switch on and flash to the desire mode when needed. 
The good thing about keeping XLS records is that... it's keeping your budget too! HEE HEE..
