I've seen the EDC120 vs. L1 threads popping up often, so here's a short comparison, maybe will help some people decide.
Size wise, L1 is obviously bigger, same size as Fenix P3D if you are familiar with that.
When in hand, L1 extends out of my palm on both ends, while Novatac is fits right inside my palm.
They weight exactly the same, 90 grams with battery, or 3.15 ounce.
Beam wise Novatac has more spill and a smaller hotspot, while L1 has very little spill but a larger hotspot.
L1 left Novatac right (Hmm, I never noticed how blue the Novatac is till I took this pic. But this should not affect which light you choose, it just means I lost the tint lottery but your mileage may vary)
Indoor, both on 10 lumen setting. Exposure and f-stop are locked so brightness is directly comparable.
L1
Novatac
Outdoor, both on max setting. Exposure and f-stop are locked so brightness is directly comparable. This is as outdoorsy as you are get from me right now, since I live in the city and many of yours living room is bigger than my yard.
