i am having a tough time deciding between an l4 an l2 or a gladius. i work a prison yard third watch 1 to9. i currently carry a stinger in a drop leg pouch that also contains an mk9 pepper spray and an oc grenade. i carry an inova x5 for cell searches, writing and reading. not a whole lot of light at the old sq. i am looking for a small , bright led light for my belt. something i can get to quick out of a good holder. i seem to favor lights with good throw but i have that covered. i use a light for mostly signaling, getting the attention of inmates or staff, searching or i might even try the shine in the eyes trick. although pepper works well. also if i work 1st watch overtime i sometimes have to illuminate 250 cells on each of three counts so runtime is a consideration. being able to use rechargeable batteries would be a big plus. any thoughts on which lights would serve me best are greatly appreciated.
