If I have the E2e in one pocket and an Arc sLS in the other pocket why do I need the KL1?
I have the E2e for its brightness. I have the sLS for redundancy, enough, but less, light when I need it, and battery compatibility with the E2e.
I see the KL1 as a good alterntive to the Arc LS, but I don't see fussing with/storing parts unless Surefire comes out with an SC that holds the spare head as well as the spare LA--and even then, when I need light, I don't need the wrong head on it.
Just my 2 cents.
Now the AVIATOR is different. That gets my interest for several reasons:
--It has a regulated incandescent. No dimming
(presumably) through most of the one hour
--It has LEDs as a low-power option and as
backup for failure of the incandescent lamp
assembly
--Depending on the color LEDs you select,
you can maintain night vision in the low mode.
I will probably select white, however.
Cheers,
Richard
