after reading a lot of posts and asking some questions here i bought the nuwai TM301X3 (and a fenix L1P "while i was at it").
the output on low of the 301X3 is great for my walks after dark, but the problem with this light is it is really hard to operate the thumb switch while wearing heavy gloves. the L1P is a little easier, but still tricky plus it does not have a low setting. i also think that an overall larger light would be easier to grip and operate while wearing gloves.
i'm not disappointed with either pick as i have other uses for them, but i'm back to square one as far as my original intent.
i did some more browsing through old threads, and it seems like the nuwai TM115X might work well. with gloves on, i think a switch near the bezel may be easier to operate than a switch on the end of the light. however a non-recessed end switch should be OK -- i got to fondle a SF e2 today and it seemed like it would be no problem, although the overall size is still a little small.
any thoughts on the TM115X's "glove-ability"? any other suggestions having a low setting with long run time?
thanks!
