Anyone tried the EagleTac P100A2 as a bicycle light?

This evening I (finally) used my old trustworthy Fenix L2D CE with a TwoFish Lockblock when riding my bike. Perfect size and fit, good lumens BUT the cree rings was a little annoying when riding in the dark.

So I was thinking that maybe the EagleTac P100A2 is a good idea, I want a 2xAA with a similar size as the Fenix L2D. With at least 2 modes, low/medium for legal reasons and high/turbo for great visibility.

I want to use Eneloops AA batteries.

What do you think?

Yep, I use mine and I like it better than my L2T Q2, which I used before I had the A2. The L2T had just a bit more spill, but the P100A2 has a LOT more throw and the knurling makes twisting the head to change from general/low to turbo a lot easier as the L2T would turn in the lockblock.

I'd like to add that the general mode on the A2 is still pretty useful when biking and as far as I know, I don't think you need to worry about the turbo as far as legality issues as long as you have it aimed properly and I hear a lot of stories of cops praising those who use lights at all because of safety.

Sorry, double post.

I would think a light with a wider spot and spill would make a better bike light.
