Hello guys,
I'm new on this forum but I've already read almost all discussions that I found about this two lamps. I hope you'll be so kind to help me clearing my ideas..
I'd like to buy something producing over 1000 lumen in an almost compact form. It must be a good all-purpose light, with a good beam, not to narrow neither too floody.. well made and durable. I will not use this lamp very often but I will for many years and It should be always working without surprises.
I'm really tempted by the RRT-3 but I like also the Legion II.. I can't decide..! A few considerations:
- I like the selector ring of the RRT-3, I think it is really simple and immediate.
- I like also the design of the Legion II ring but I'm concerned about the UI, how do you find it? As far as I understood, it doesn't have fixed position, one per setting, like the RRT-3..
- Level settings: It would had been perfect if these light had a 30-50 lumen lower setting for > 20h operation (indoor use in case of prolongated main AC failure). The RRT-3 1 lumen lower setting is too low, I guess it is just for tactical use if you need to see something really close without being seen from far..
- strobe, I don't know if I'll ever use it, but if you need to catch attention of people it could be useful. It's a pity that it's missing in the Legion II
- Quality of construction and materials... anyone can compare this two lamps? It seem that the RRT-3 is at the top.. but what about Legion II? Comparable?
- What about running them at the maximum output for long time, which is behaving better??
If you know about other similar flashlights (> 1000 lumen, single or multi emitter) having similar characteristic post here your suggestions!!
To kill time while deciding I just ordered a cheap trustfire tr-1200 from DE, I know it's almost a toy and there's good probability to receive a malfunctioning or broken item, but I was curious about it. Anyway I still have to receive it..
Regards,
Riccardo
