This has been a big news week for those of us who love a super small, bright light. Which of these to buy?
The Amilite Neo T3 is $62 at the just announced CPF group buy price. It received a rave five star review from Quickbeam as the brightest small light he has yet reviewed. (He hasn't reviewed the ORB Raw so I wonder how they compare?)
The just announced Peak CPF light in red seems to also go after the ORB market. It, too, has a short runtime, is said to be twice as bright as the already blazing Caribbean. Yet, the brightness is only achieved with the rechargeable R123s that come with the light. Yet, using regular CR123s, the bright is only 1/3 as bright as the Caribbean. It's $89 with charger.
Also, Peak warns that the CPF special gets exceedingly hot and is only for intermittent use when using the R123s. So, it's not a practical EDC, in my opinion.
Anybody know how hot the Amilite gets yet??
What's a flashaholic to do? I want the ORB, the Peak and the Amilite, too! They are redundant in the collection but I can rationalize that I have nothing near the brightness of these blazing beauties.
I wonder which of these is brighter?
