For some reason I will look for lights that have the capability of high brightness, high lumens, but then I almost never use these settings. I chose not to buy the Jetbeam Jet III or the RRT-21 even though I liked their UI and the infinite brightness of the RRT-21, because they only had highs of around 450 lumens! Instead, I bought the ZL SC600, the Eagletac G25C2 and now waiting for the Sunwayman T20CS. These lights all go above 600-650 lumens ANSI. But I wont even hardly use it though!
Its cool to have it there just in case, but mostly I think its a subconscious need to be able to show it off on turbo or high! Its cool to have a really bright light for the size, so why buy one that isnt as bright? Even if you arent going to use it? But I guess it does make sense if the 2 lights you are looking at are the same price, but one is much brighter than the other. Its kinda like looking at 2 cars of the same sticker price, but one has much more horsepower. Sure you arent going to be doing burnouts all the time with it, but you can if you want to! Plus, maybe, just maybe I might run into some rare situation that calls for that extra 200 lumens that the other light didnt have.
Thats my brilliant logic to back up my decision to buy the brightest lights....:ironic:
