I'm learning that in an urban environment, you often need a fairly bright flashlight due to ambient lighting, compared to rural/wilderness environments where a CMG Ultra or Arc AAA is perfect and anything brighter is total overkill and counterproductively bright.
That, coupled with this damn flashaholism which has begun advanced stages of attack on me and my wallet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
SO, I'm looking to either a SF L4 or Arc LS to replace my Inova X5t for EDC.
I'm kinda leaning towards the Arc, since they are having such a wonderful sale and the smaller size seems like it would be better for EDC. Obviously, now on sale, the Arc is less than half the price of the L4. That's hard to argue with.
I recall reading that the L4 blows away the LS as far as overall brightness, but I suspect it may be too bright for many average, everyday uses, which again makes me lean towards the Arc.
I wear a suit to work, and here again I believe the size of the Arc would make it far more convenient as I could just stick it in my pocket like I now do with my Inova.
Opinions and advice please!
