Hello Everyone,
Its been a while since I've posted here. I've been having some conflicted thoughts on my flashlight strategy. I've always liked to have a big dog around just in case. At first it was a ultrastinger. Then I transitioned to a tk41 and again down to a sunwayman d40.
I finally came to the realization that I never go for anything larger than a 2aa light. Before led lights were around I was crazy about the mini maglite and had a solitare on my keys. The form factor preference hasn't changed for me. Except now I carry a fenix e05 and klarus xt2a for home.
I have a thrunite archer 2a on the way. With 2aa lights going up to 500 lumens now I feel quite confident that I won't need something larger. Even that high of output is for a just in case moment or to show off.
While I've been minimizing stuff I noticed the sc5 can go over 500 lumens. So again I am wondering if I need 2aa lights at all? I tend to agree that they are easier to hold and still generally more powerful unless you have something like a zebralight. Except for my zebra headlamp I haven't had much interest in aa lights. aaa lights seem more than up to the task for most things and easy enough to clip on my keys if I want to take it with me.
I'm just a regular guy that appreciates a good torch. I also haven't felt the need to get into a 18650 light. Although I would be happy with the output and form factor.
