This kind of goes with my earlier thread but I thought it would be better to make a new one seeing as I only have one question this time.
I've already ordered two Fenix Cree AA lights (L1D and L2D), which should be with me any day now. I'm still thinking about buying a Streamlight ProPolymer 3C Luxeon but availability in the UK is extremely poor. In fact I have only seen one website that sells that model (and only a few more that sell the 4AA version). It is quite expensive and almost twice the price of the Fenix lights I bought.
Availability in the US is far wider and a lot cheaper to add. Therefore if I was going to buy it, trying to get it from a US site that will ship overseas could be a better option.
However, I was wondering if buying one these days is actually worth it, especially if considering ordering it internationally? Is it still a good light to own or would it be superfluous seeing as I will shortly be owning two Fenix lights? Does the Luxeon LED and lack of light intensity modes mean I would be wasting my money? As it stands right now, I am only planning to get a ProPoly 3C so I have got a really long lasting, large light than runs on C-cells.
Do any of you guys own both brands and if so, what are your recommendations?
Regards.
