I've only had the ALR2 for a day now but I'm already positive this will become an EDC for me. This light has some great draws for an EDC.
The light is perfect for close up tasks such as working on stuff. The pattern is an amazing smooth pool of light with almost no hotspot. Tint is fine with a slight bit of green on the outer edge. This may be from the glow in the dark "reflector." I put that in quotes as it really has no reflector. The lens seems to be pretty tough so we'll see how that holds up the rigors of being an EDC with the hazards of keys, change etc.
I've always wanted a real floody light and now I have what looks to be a great one. I won't be using it to illuminate critters high up in trees as it lacks throw, but I have plenty of other lights to grab if that need comes into the equation. I'm guessing that this will meet 99% of my EDC needs.
- It's small
- It's light
- Has 2 very useful modes
- Has some of the best flood I've ever seen
- Magnetic tail is a great feature
