Wanted to upgrade from an E01 to another AAA but somewhat brighter light. less runtime ok.
Here's my situ:
It will be used for walking a dog with my girlfriend at night and various sundry other tasks around the house when it's dark.
My typical use is turning it on for a few seconds to a couple of minutes when we reach a part of our walk that is unlit, then turning it off for a few minutes. Repeat.
I'd like to store it in the car and would like to use alkalines. Temperature is mild year 'round.
I don't really like PWM but will tolerate it if I can't notice it.
I'd like the softest spot possible.
I don't want to deal with paging through lots of modes. I want it to come on when I turn the bezel at the correct brightness, turn off when I turn it off, then turn back on when I've turned it back again a minute or two later. Medium on the L0D should be fine for 95% of my tasks.
Questions:
Is the E1 brighter and whiter enough to make it worth the purchase over an E01?
Is the L0D's PWM annoying while walking with it?
Is there another light that will give me ~15-20 lumens with no PWM and a white beam in a one-mode, single-AAA configuration with a runtime of 3+ hours?
Thanks!
