Tuff's T180 name indicates its biggest advantage — the light's head pivots a full 180 degrees in 20-degree increments. This enables some unique mounting options, such as clipping it to the brim of a hat. The clip can be rotated or reversed, though the latter is only possible after disassembling the body with an Allen wrench. On top of this, the T180 can accept either a CR123 or a AA battery. To switch battery types, unscrew the cap, and install or uninstall the included metal spacer tube. All of these variables make the T180 the most versatile of the angle-head lights we tested.

Pros: Versatile 180-degree pivoting head, Accepts two battery types

Cons: Huge gap between high and low output modes
