So here's the scoop. I started off EDC'ing a Surefire E1L Outdoorsman with a K1X head on it about four years ago when I first joined the military. I loved it, and still do. I eventually lost it, and picked up an Olight M10 Maverick because of the UI. In my opinion it's almost the perfect EDC for me, albeit a few shortcomings. I usually leave it on the lowest mode, but I love that I am able to quickly able to access the highest output simply by half depressing the clicky twice in quick succession, and then access the strobe by doing it a third time. I like a light that comes in on low mode, because I don't want to blind myself unknowingly, something that a lot of these 'memory' mode lights these days would do (cough *TN12* cough cough). The only thing I feel the M10 is lacking, is a moonlight mode, and deeper pocket clip. It recently quit on me and is being returned to Olight for repair.
So here's what I'm after...
A respectable high output (250 + lumens)
Can run on a CR123
Instant access to low lumen mode
Preferably instant access to high lumen mode
Moonlight mode (1 lumen or less)
Preferably a clicky switch, although I would settle for a side switch if I had to.
What are my options?
Thank you for the help!
