I am looking at three different lights and I need help deciding which one would best suit my needs. All the lights I currently own are a single, one-die LED (~200 lumen), and I want add an LED light to my arsenal that will absolutely blow any other The lights I am considering are M2XC4, Legion II, or the UltraFire RL-2088.
1. M2XC4 ($150) - I like this light because EagleTac makes great lights. The UI on this light seems simple. In addition, it has great throw and spill. The beam shots I saw were crazy. However, the form factor is questionable imo. I am not sure I could adapt to something like this compared to traditional lights.
2. Legion II ($179) - This light has amazing styling!!! It looks like it would fit well in my hands and from what I read, Neo make solid lights. It appeals to me because it would be the only custom light I have and it also has lots of output. However,this light has a few issues that bother me. One is the UI, specifically the delay when turning on and off. Second the potential for a leak due to the lack of solid o-ring design. Thirdly, I do think the donut hole in the beam is something that would bother me.
3. UltraFire RL-2088 ($145) - This light intrigues me the most because I do not know much about it. http://cgi.ebay.com/UltraFire-RL-208...01157004r23204 or http://kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=8783
Even if this light did not reach the 1300 lumens, I believe it would still have more lumens than either of the two lights above. The problem is I can't find any reviews or beam shots to demonstrate how well the reflector was designed to work with the Ostar LED. Also, the overall lack of discussion on this potentially exciting new light makes me wonder. However, I absolutely love the design of this light (very close to the Legion II IMHO), and I would think it would create a little more discussion around here. I know it's an Ultrafire, but being HA III and $160 it's hardly your run-of-the-mill budget light....
