If I had the money, I'd like to buy a surefire p3x fury. 1000 lumens too bad it doesn't have a pocket clip.
More solid option might be the pd35. Has a pocket clip and almost 1000 lumens
Fenix PD35

I purchased one this year, I believe it was recommended in this thread. Fenix UC30 960 Lumens Cree XM-L2 LED Rechargeable LED Flashlight w/ 2600mAh 18650, Holster, Built-in USB Charger, Lumen Tactical AC CAR Power Adapter - - Amazon.com
I am satisfied with it. It is rechargeable with any micro usb cable. It has a glow in the dark power button to find just after the lights go out. It is very bright, but also has 4 power settings to allow you to select how bright it is, and also how long it lasts. Walking through the woods after a hunt may be a time to use the dimer setting to save power and also light the path just in front of you, if you need a brighter setting you push the button as you toggle through the brightness. It also has a strobe feature if you hold it down for a full second.
The only negative I can find is it has come on when in my pocket or in a bag but it is rechargeable. I also wonder about using it for any type tactical type light as you have to hold the power switch down for about a half second to turn it on, and a half second to turn it off. That's a looooooong time in a situation when you want light instantly or want it off instantly. For a regular light, I like it.
There might be something wrong with your light. Mine come on immediately when press or click the tail switch and goes off just as fast.
Are you talking about the delay when you unplug it from charging?
EDIT TO ADD: OOPS! You have the UC30, but mine is the UC35. The UC30 is more of a utility light since it doesn't have a tail switch. The UC35 is a little longer, but it has a tail switch for instant on/off.
I was about to post the same thing lol..
It should serve you well. Fenix is now my go-to brand for flashlights. High quality and reasonable prices.After reading through this thread, I decided to purchase a Fenix UC35. I have had it about a week now and I'm very happy with it.
