I'm a big fan of the single CR2 format and there always seemed to be quite a few to chose from but no more. There aren't really any high end ones left on the market either, to speak of. Awhile ago I switched from a rotation of AAA lights on my key chain to a Quark CR2 mini and I've come to prefer it because of its high output for its size and short profile. For me, AAA lights would always hit my knee when my keys are in the ignition of my truck and the Quark was the perfect solution. My concerns about the wider diameter of the light were unfounded and I've come to love it! It's great to have that kind of power on a key chain light. It's also a fun light to deploy around non-flashaholics who never fail to be blown away by the output/size ratio. With exception of the Quark and the Nitecore Sens Mini there really don't seem to be too many CR2 options out there anymore. I've been thinking of buying a Mini MLR2 with the newer XP-G2 emitter as an upgrade to the Quark CR2 Mini while keeping the old light as a spare but they have been on back order for awhile now and I fear they may discontinued. The Nitecore Sens Mini is a longer light and I'm not a fan of the UI. Perhaps there is something on the market I'm unaware of?
Is this the end of the CR2 format?
