When I started my flashaholic obsession, to me, brighter was better. If it wasn't a 5w Luxeon LED, I didn't want it. Basically 3w was for EDC.
But the Fenix L0P and L1P changed my mind. True, they still suck a fair amount of juice, but look at the run times that "dim led's" afford. A few models out there run for DAYS ON END. Should I be faced with another blackout like in '03, I wonder if my current lights will have the run time I need.
Yet another reason why I try only to get the multilevel lights because they save power. In general, even my 3w Inova X03 will give me longer run times than a 5w model. (Barring differences in circuitry, batteries, etc.)
There are plenty of times when dimmer light is preferred. I may need to find myself a good long running light or three, now.
