What is the third light from the right in the top pic? (just left of the e2)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Hey, if you're not familiar with the UKE 2L, you're missing something! I think it's a must-have. It's a 2xDL123A flaslight. It's very bright, though not as bright as, say, the 6P, and the 2L's beam isn't in the same class as the 6P's when it comes to smoothness. On the other hand, it runs for several hours. It's also light as a feather, completely waterproof (it's a dive light), and dirt cheap (you can find 'em for like $20-$25).
The 2L's brightness is closer to the E2's than the E1's. As a result, it was what I grabbed whenever I needed a very bright light, but either wanted to minimize size and weight, or needed a very long runtime, or both. For example, if I'm camping for a few days, I want a very bright light, but don't want to bring tons of batteries, and also want to minimize weight for hikes, so the 2L is a great fit.
'course, with the E2 on the scene, I'll probably relegate the 2L to duties where I'm worried about waterproofness. Plus, it'll be my loaner light.
