Flashlight Enthusiast
I had several about 10 years ago and they never worked for me. Problems included:
* It is a single-purpose device. Does not EDC well, does not fit into any pocket. Unless it's so compact and event then does not fit as neatly as some 2x123 light. Or smaller.
* Not adapted to 18650s, my favorite way to roll. The best of them take 123 so you have to accept that.
* Irritate my haid. After wearing out for more than 10 minutes, they start irritating my head or hair in some way.
I had this Princeton Tech from circa 2006 - I cannot believe it has been that long - and went through 2 of them, plastic shattering, overall pretty poor build quality. They just cannot compete with a SF clone that's all metal.
I would rather have some kind of gizmo to wear on my head that I would insert a Surefire 6P in or G2X Pro and take it out when I needed compactness again.
A high quality dedicated HL would be great for a single purpose like caving. And even then I would have a backup surefire in a holster. As all these wires create additional points of failure.
