What Acebeam K75 owners say

it's the best and most fun light I have

The thing I like the most about my K75 is actually the "low" mode.

sadly none of my unprotected batteries fit. My 30Q's and VTC5A/VTC5D's are too short. So much for testing it out tonight!

What Fenix PD36R Pro owners say

this is my all around favorite to use around the farm. Good flood and great spot for scanning the distance.

I have the Pd36R Pro and find it useless for camping. Mode memory is not what I prefer as I never know what level it will come on at.
