I've searched the archives on this, so I know this issue has been beaten to death, but I need some opinions. My plan is to get either a C2 or an M2, and put a KL5 on top once/if they appear.
I would like for the entire setup to be in HA3BK, and I'm aware I may have to wait a while, or (hopefully not) settle for natural HA3.
I will likely end up using the KL5 most of the time; keeping track of spare bulbs and repeatedly replacing blown bulbs doesn't appeal to me.
If I get a C2, then I plan on adding the additional O-ring (19-01-077), and a click-on tailswitch (SW02 or Z48/Z49). If I get an M2, then I plan on adding a click-on tailswitch (SW02 or Z48/Z49).
What's the general consensus on this approach so far? Will I be equally happy with the O-ringed C2 as I would with an M2? Is the shock-isolated bezel the only thing I'll miss out on with the C2 approach? And lastly, any suggestions?
One more thing: I like the idea of going with the Pila Li-ion batteries. From Pila's website: "Rechargeable batteries Pila 150S and 168S are designed for flashlights other than Pila, such as SURE-FIRE® 6P and 9P". Which battery sets are compatible with the C2/M2?
Thanks in advance for your input. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
