I'm not sure this forum has enough disk space for me to list the lights I carry all the time.

I don't doubt that one bit, I'm getting the same way. After the time I was caught in a blacked out Residence hall without a light in my desk or on me, I can't seem to have enough of them. I think the current inventory is (2) 4 D-Cell Maglites, the Rayovac, the Fenix, a G2, a couple Maglite Solitaires, a S&W LED/Xenon Combo light, about 4-5 cheapo 9 LED lights, a modded Rayovac cheapo (bumped it to the same output of a G2 or G3), Sureifre M951 . . . and those are the ones I can remember having in the bedroom or car.I'm not sure this forum has enough disk space for me to list the lights I carry all the time.

Yet another Rose-Hulman connection. My penchant for flashlightery started when I was in the showers of the old fieldhouse when the power went out.
Dear Penthouse Letters,
Yet another Rose-Hulman connection. My penchant for flashlightery started when I was in the showers of the old fieldhouse when the power went out. I was washing my hair at the time so my eyes were closed when it happened. . .
Yet another Rose-Hulman connection. My penchant for flashlightery started when I was in the showers of the old fieldhouse when the power went out. I was washing my hair at the time so my eyes were closed when it happened, and when I opened them my first thought was that I had gone blind (not joking). No emergency lights or even a faint glow in there! Then it happened AGAIN a few weeks later, but that time I realized the power was lost.........
One time is enough of a lesson for most people, and three times is enough to convince you that one is none and two is one.

LEDs last essentially forever and don't break when you drop them. The Cree LEDs put out insane amounts of light. The drop-ins I have are much brighter than a standard G2 or even a G2L. I haven't pushed the batteries yet (I change them before they get close to being done typically and then use them one at a time in another light).
But what are the drop-ins rated at, and for how long?Apples and oranges. Inovas and others like Fenix are mid-range, high quality, complete lights that cost a significant amount.
By contrast, the drop-in modules I mentioned are for people who already own a SurFire G2 or 6P. They can get a high-output LED for $10-$13 (no shipping charges). How they perform compared to an Inova is not important to me. How they perform compared to the standard G2 lamp does, and they dwarf the amount of light the incandescent G2 can produce.
