Hey guys,
I have been fumbling around with the idea of replacing my Sunlite Slim 5W penlight setup with a newer regulated penlight. I like the Sunlite slim, but I do not like that it is direct drive. I have seriously considered the 4Sevens Preon II and the Fenix LD05 at different points. One thing has been holding me back on both of them. Why do neither have memory modes? To me, it seems like a waste of time if every time you want to turn on your high mode, you have to press the button three times. A lot of people have been raving about how much they love their Fenix or 4Sevens, so it might not be that big a deal. I do not know, all of my lights have memories. Does anyone else wander the same thing? Is there a penlight out there with similar performance that has memory mode and is regulated? As for batteries, I am planning on going with rechargeable 10440's and a charger, unless my ultrafire WF-139 can handle it if I can fabricate a cradle for them. Let me know your thoughts on this. As always, Thanks in advance.
