i wanted cr123 and under 2.8" long. it's just a wish list. i understand why the titan is longer but it is too long for me. still, it would be what i want if it was shorter and took a 123.
the ti exolion does not have a sapphire lens and it takes a cr2. hey, if i am wishing why not wish for exactly what i want?
sapphire is more scratch resistant but if you drop it on cement it will certainly shatter. it is much more shatter prone than mineral glass. but for pocket use with keys and such i think it is just the ticket.
as for wanting the cr123, you just can't get the run time on high out of a cr2. it is less than half the mah. assuming the light puts out over 100 lumens on high.
to recoup, more or less what i am looking for is a p1dce-q5 in titanium with a sapphire lens. that light is my perfect edc otherwise. it is great for me. i'd just like more to "brag" about it. i don't care where it is made or what it costs.
only problem with the p1dce-q5(and most high power lights) is that even on the regular setting it gets boiling hot after 5 minutes. i don't know if titanium is more or less of a heat conductor than aluminum.
thanks for the suggestions so far guys,
