Guys what is the L35 everyone is speaking of?
and why not the Mega Illuminator over the N30?
The L35 is a soon-to-be-released upgraded version of the N30. It will have longer runtime, more light output, and other upgrades.
The Mega Illuminator is a giant spotlight the size of a microwave oven, and the N30 is miniature and only a little larger than a 6 Volt floating lantern flashlight. Both are excellent lights, but they serve completely different purposes. The Mega Illuminator would put out more light and throw twice as far, while the N30 packs unbelievable power in such a small light which is perfect for every day carry, much more portable, and much lighter weight, and is more practical for standard tasks.
I have a light just as large and heavy as the Mega Illuminator called the "Professional's Favorite 17.5 million candlepower spotlight" which throws quite a bit farther than the N30 and has a much brighter hotspot, but due to its enormous size I hardly use it. However, when I just want to use an extremely powerful light and size doesn't matter, the Professional's Favorite is wonderful.
So the Mega illuminator and N30 are equally great lights, just both serving different purposes.
