I want to upgrade my SL TwinTask 2L EDC and I've decided I want an LED for the bulb reliability. I plan on also carrying a cheap long-life LED for mundane tasks. Here's the usual suspects for questions.
1) Price Range: Best value, preferably under $100. But price takes a back seat to meeting the requirements. I'll spend whatever it takes, I just don't want to buy a $200 flashlight when there's a $75 flashlight that will meet my needs just as well.
2) Format: Flashlight
3) Length: Palm sized, 3-5" I want something easy to hold on to but I can still carry on my belt without it taking up too much space.
4) Width: Narrow
5) What batteries do you want to use? CR123As or NiMH common cells.
6) How much light do you need? From what I'm reading here 60-100 Lumans, correct me if I haven't read enough of the right things.
7) Throw vs Flood: I'd like a balance, but err on the throw side.
8) Runtime: Prefer at least a half hour.
9) Durability: Critical (CCW)
8) Switch Location/Type: Circle all that apply. Momentary Switch at a minimum + some sort of contant on
9) Operational Modes: On/Off (the good ol' K.I.S.S. principle).
10) Special Needs: Is there anything else you want or need that hasn't been mentioned? Circle any below or write in your own comment(s).
• Holster: Be nice if there are common holster options. I already have a Bianchi #37S I use with the TwinTask.
• Waterproof – shallow water, shouldn't need to be more than a few feet.
• Corrosion resistant
So, what would you recommend? Right now I'm leaning tward the Pentagon L2.
