First things first, I have no real preference for lights. I like functional useful lights, and I only like using rechargeable batteries. That being said, I am having a break down again. I have gone through dozens of flashlights in the past two years and have kept only those that I truly love. A quick list follows:
HDS Rotary
HDS Rotary HCRI (waiting)
E1L
C2 Bored & Coated w/L1N
6P Bored & Coated w/M60
C3/A19 Bored & Coated w/M61LL
MD2 w/M61
MD3/A19 w/M91W
Quark AA2XML Neutral
Revo
SR-51
Now given that those are my lights I seem to have just about all of my bases covered. Have the long lasting bomb lights, the AA light, the thrower, the camping light, and for EDC the Rotary or AA body Quark XML Neutral.
I've gone through an L4, L2, A2L-WH, E2E, L1, 6PX, E1b, etc for Surefire lights. For some reason I just feel compelled to get an A2.
I typically only use rechargeables so this would be a concern. I suppose I would have to have the body bored to fit a 17670 because I only feel comfortable using lights with AW's in them. Hate hate hate using primaries. I don't particularly have a need for any light. I hardly have a need for the lights I already have.
That being said, should I get an A2? Doing it up right I would need a set of rings for it, probably some NW's and maybe a Red or YG just to really fill it out. At this rate, we are looking at a $100 for a used A2, $50 ring +bore costs for a light that is ~6 years old. Can I justify it?
