I'm afraid I'd like some advice, too, please:
I'm thinking about selling my
BOG Q5 Premium Plus (well, it's now on sale on
CPFMP...) because apart from the fact I haven't used it much the tint is too very cool for my liking these days.
I'm looking for an alternative with a
less cold tint (doesn't mean I need it to be "warm", but that would not be bad, either),
good beam quality (negligible Cree rings), as well-as
no-nonsense single stage operation,
no gap or contact issues fitting my C2 and rock-solid
reliability. Must run fine on 2*Cr123 and 2*R123.
Oh, yeah - before you suggest a
Malkoff M60W, I can't see myself spending $60 on a drop-in.
So I've been looking at
Lumens Factory (R2 select tint) and
Dereelight (1SM-2 5A Q3 w/OP) offerings. Will these do what I'm looking for? Any thoughts/suggestions? Or am I just much better off waiting until I can face paying $50 - for a Malkoff...?
Thanks!
