Zeruel, I think it's unfair to lump the Fenix E01 with the L0D and the LD01.
The E01 is most similar to the ArcAAA in terms of design, output, and emitter type. All these obviously affect the intended (or expected) use that one may give a AAA light.
For example, I carry an ArcAAA as my ultimate backup light. I don't forsee using it under circumstances where I need a bright light (such as the L0D) because I already have those bases covered in my EDC. So, you could say my "favorite" AAA is the ArcAAA (and it is, to some extent). However, if I wanted a AAA light with a lot more output, I'd choose the L0D.
I hope I conveyed where I'm going with this.
The strong bias shown towards the Fenix category is likely due to this.
:shakehead... and that's what I get for not reading the entire thread before posting.
Anyhoooo... the ArcAAA and the L0D ARE my favorite AAA lights. :nana:
Hey Green, as I mentioned, I've tried including as many AAA lights as possible which unknowingly became a brand poll. Maybe it should have been listed as Your Favorite Brand for AAA? :thinking:
Evidently, the lights I've listed are someone's favorite, even for ones that are not Fenix. So if I separate Fenix into 3 choices to replace 3 others say Serac, Microstream and Peak, users of these Serac/Microstream/Peak will wonder why their favorites are not in. This happened to Arcmania Extreme III which I've forgot to add in.
Similarly, if I remove E01 from the Fenix list, users of E01 will start asking why it's not included? I know E01 is a popular choice for long runtimes.
Anyhoo, I wish there's a better way to list them without sacrificing the lights listed so far, but I can't think of another way. The ideal way is to list all of them separately but that's not possible because the poll only allows 10 choices. :shrug:
And all said is useless now because I can't edit the poll list once it's up. Unless I restart a new poll and let this close (if Mod willing).
On a side note, I think I've an inkling how dealers feel now.... :laughing:
