OK - I know that people ask this question all the time and I hate to be the umpteenth person to request some help, but I am needing ya'lls expertise.
Here is my deal - I love lights, and I love small lights, but I also love bright small lights.
SO - I am looking for a new light. Let me tell you my history and then my list of dreams and then you can tell me the 3 lights that perfectly fit into that mold and then I can make an educated decision. (or something like that!)
Used to carry a Jil 1.3 UP
Then carried a JetBeam MK-IIx
Now carry the NiteCore PD EX-10 and love it!
(Also bought the NiteCore PD D20 and was underwhelmed and want to replace IT with my EX-10 and replace my EX-10 with this new light we are discussing.)
So - here is my laundry list of desires:
>This light will be my EDC pocket light and I work a white collar job, so small and unobtrusive is important.
>Battery does not really matter - I would prefer 123 or AA if possible, but not a demand.
>Rechargeable capability (whatever cell) is a must for me...
>Clicky is BEST for this light
>Tritium locators would be WONDERFUL!
>Less than $100 - preferably less than $75 would be wonderful
>MINIMUM lumens would be in the 50-65 range...pushing up to 130 (like my EX-10) would be great
>I do NOT need programmable, or infinite ranges of brightness. I would like to have MAX and LOW (if that is via programming that is fine) but I like having that option between "blinding someone" and the "looking-for-the-Coke-under-your-movie-seat" kind of brightness.
>Black is preferred, but not a must have
>Clips (as an option) is nice but also, not a must have
Well - I think that is it. I know there are probably things that I have left out, and if you have questions or need clarification, please let me know and I will do what I can to provide clarification. Thank you all so much for your insite and your help - these forums are always FULL of valuable information and I am looking forward to hearing from you all.
