Streamlight Pt-2l or 1l?

[FlameOn]

I was all set to get the 1L but have been looking at the 2l...size wise they are still pretty close 3.3 vs 4.6 and in a way, I do like the added length since I imagine it's a little more ergonomic in the hand. But I wonder if the extra inch and 1/3 will make it much less pocket friendly. Anyone EDC either of these please chime in..

As you mentioned, the 2l fits better in my fairly large hand.

In the pocket sideways, the 1l will be a better fit; I clip the light vertically to the corner of the pocket, and it fits very comfortably.

When carrying a Gerber multi-tool (horizontal carry,) it clips perfectly to the bottom of the sheath. This even allows for hands-free illumination, if needed.

If you have smaller hands, the 1l may be the way to go. Bigger folks will appreciate the longer 2l, I believe.

Good luck with your purchase !!!

I have the 1L and carry it clipped to my pocket. It was not the size but the weight for me. The 1L is very light and in dress pants it works perfect!

Thanks guys...I have small mitts so the 1L should be good to go...

There is a video clip about the PT2L on YouTube.com here.

The 1l is rated on high at 110 lumens for 1.75 hours.
The 2l is rated on high at 180 lumens for 2.5 hours.
I would go with the 2l for the extra brightness.

I like to get the PT-2L, I searched and found one member use 3.0 rechargeable with no problem "http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=280676". But do any CPF member know if it will take the 3.7 rechargerables? Thanks in advance.
