I always wonder when I pick something up that seems really well-done, but no one else is talking about it. I picked up a 1W Raw -- $39 base price, plus shipping, 2-stage switch -- I think a month or two ago, whenever they came out. I'm incredibly pleased with it, especially at the price. I was looking for a light that was:
- CR2 size form factor
- At least 2 brightness levels
- Ran best on regular batteries rather than rechargeables
I bought the $39 Raw just because it was available, but it's so well-done and fit my needs so well that I might just close the book on this class of light for now. Nice brightness and throw for such a tiny thing, nice choice of brightness for low. Love the little tritium vial for finding it in the dark. Just plain kicks butt. I think total price ended up more like $70ish once the shipping, tritum vial, and two-stage switch were added.
