Yesterday the arrival of my first real light arrived; Surefire E1B Led.
I guess as having never had a real flashlight I had not realized how serious a messily little 80 lumens could be or how useful 5 lumens can be. Last night there was some noises out on the road outside my house..pitch black with some fog. That little 80 lumens blasted 50 yrds up/down the road. Turned out to be some teenagers walking down the road at night few seldom attempt by day. The low level is just good enough to watch the steps up back to the house.
This will be my EDC obviously...until the Lx2 arrives:devil:
My intentions are to have this E1B in pocket & LX1 in soft briefcase for work when the job requires us to enter unfamiliar/unsafe areas for crisis control.
Still need a torch to flood the yard. 1 for home one for truck
Thanks CPF!!
