The 502 is my most favorite cheap light. Since I just finished 2 of the 4 AR's I'm building the shorter one got one of the 502's mounted on it. So it was off to Amazon and ordering another 4 of these puppies. Sans charger and batteries all 4 cost less then $33.
I'd also ordered a few of the best batteries through fasttech. The Panasonic's newer NCR18650B's. Rated at a true 3400 mAh's. With button tops and protection circuitry they were still a bargain @ 2 for ~$17.

I never really cared much for pocket clips. I just take them off and fill in the holes with epoxy.
Not sure, but I don't think they make just 2 mode lights. 3 mode would be the closest, with high, low and strobe. I usually only use the single mode drop ins. That's one of the pluses of these type lights is the ability to modify them. These are the same drop ins that go into the very expensive 18650 flashlights.
As far as I know the xml-t6 bulbs are some the brightest made in this size. There's a U2 version that gives off a warmer color and a newer U3 that gives of even more light. For all of these I usually go through dealextreme or fasttech since the prices are better.

Gotta have spares, and parts.

What a shame that we have the two major political parties that believe the former.
