It was long overdue but tonight I did a Bones vs FL2 battle.
I took some Pentagons too. A Malkoff'd X1, an L2 and an X3. But the other two were the featured items.
I slipped away to the darkest part of my area on a cloudy night. That means it was about as dark as... dusk. Maybe 10 before dark in the countryside.
Anyway I was doing some beam compares from various angles when along comes Johnnie Law. "Hey buddy, whatcha doing?" he asked. "Playing with cop lights" I answered. "What Streamlights?" he asked... "nah, Elzettas, PK's and Pentagons tonight."...
He whips out his 5.11 light that cycles high/low/strobe/off. Well my thought was "your light sucks" but how can I tell a fellow carrying hand cuffs, a 9mm, pepper spray, a taser, and has the power to use them that his light sucks...
The conversation turned to "how much" and when I cited numbers he soon lost interest.
Anyway for pure tactical purposes the Elzetta was definitely the one to have for signaling, blinding a bad guy or as a nun chuc. Plus the neutral beam is easier on the eyes in low light conditions.
For overall brightness, nun-chuk-ness, lights the bad guy but not you, and battery sipping low setting the FL2 gets it done.
I carried the FL2 on low and used the Bones to light up stuff. They made a great team.

You can see the overall beginning to change
The optic of the Bones is amazing.
In night adapted eyes I could see items further away, but the pix cause it to appear the FL2 has more throw.
Both are winners in my mind.
