Thanks Yaesumofo, I appreciate your input on it. Considering the price of these puppies, I might as well get the best one for my needs. I'm really glad to be able to pick a LS20 up though, can't wait to see it. Since all of you have taken the time to influence me in making my decision, I'll post my impression once I get it.
IMHO the TIPD-s is a cool light mizer mode is even cooler.
That said.
The Lunasol concept (both the 20 and the 27) is a step UP from the tip PD.
Why?
Well you have the advantage of a LOW mode which is a wide soft light. This is extreemely useful light good for close up work reading at night lighting equipment and so many other activities.
Then you have the second beam which is tighter and brighter. the Luinasol high beam quality is very good.
These lunasol lights really are everything the TiPD's are and more. Mainly as a result of the added LOW beam Led's. They make a big difference.,
I highly recomend that you do infact buy both and sell the subjective looser. There is no better way to make a choice of flashlight.
Have fuin.
