Hi everyone, Season's greetings!
I am new to posting, but have been lurking about here with a light or two for while,On an off like. (No pun intended, but o well lol)
Anyhow guys, i recently been lumen bitten again an it spread damn fast this time.
You know, Same ol story, been using Mug's for years, then came across a neat little light that had some crazy life an lumen claims and the LED bug had struck a fresh burn on me.
So, The first one came off of a MAC tool dealer truck, little 3Xaaa 6-led flood light like the X5 in a shiny stainless case with a steel buttoned switch similar in position to a larger Mag. Good flood, really good, good as my buddies X5 at the shop, long life so far. I Added to it like all my lights end caps, this one i used 1In. chair leg caps. Hard plastic, fit snuggly and keep it safe from dings, falls and keeps business end clean, so every good light i have has some kind of cap on it, i usually use Automotive rubber caps, they have good memory, durable and very waterproof.
Aswell as most lights when they fall land on an end or another this really keeps them in shape, and they rest usually on the ends when sitting, so there again , no wear for me.
I went through a few more little lights not quite as pricey as the first one, but still they do add up hehe. I thought, maybe if a bought a fairly decent throw/Flooder i would be good for time to come. Well i bought a Pelican M6 LED, it filled my needs well enough after purchase to keep my happy for a bit, pricey it was, i wantd to feel it in hand prior to paying, couldn't say no once i held it and paid way too much for it as compared to other stores, but it might have helped that mom an pop shop out another month, who knows.
I was doing good, went back to my knives, an poured my money into that funnel again. Then my wife buys me a X1 outa the blue. Well damn it, that did it, the decently tight thro, ergo's and battery requirements got me in again i guess.
Then a couple Innova Micros, then a slight drought near xmas itself, well atleast untill then as at Xmas, i couldn't believe the good tidings i recieved, enough to purchase me more cannons.
So, i came into the possesion of a E1L and a E2L and a G2.
This i figure, is an accelerated growth of the Flasholism disease, and yes, i am aware, very few live in the dark after this, i am enlightened now.:help:
Sorry for the long wine, just thought a bit a background might help.
I EDC a lot i guess, i 3 Knives,710,705 and a cheapy, i also carry 3 lights,
a TM-310H(For low light use), the original 6-led flood(Good,robust an holds like a roll of quarters) and the last was the latest X1, another do not disturb your surrounds light.
I loved my PM6, but found it too large for EDC for me, but now i have a 1x123 and a 2x123 that have a much slimmer profile and wonder...
Which SF EL should i intro into my EDC rotation? I mean the E2L is not much bigger then the E1L an has a decent belt clip, better run time and slightly brighter, Vrs the E1L which is close to the above in most manners.
It seems funny as this basically is the question the Q-3 owners have with thier bigger brother 5 watt version, lol i stopped at the Q-3, i did not get the 5 watter so i did not know of the dilemma till now.
And, the 2-stage clickie i have recently been seeing people mention, is it availible through a retailer or a private person? I really want 2 or 3, if it fits the Q-3 aswell. This imho would make my lights alot more versatile to me.
Ok, last thought, what is most common packing of a 2x123 light, holster, sheath, pocket, jeans or jacket?
Also, does a KL4 head on a E2L with a 2-stage sound decent?
Hhmm, makes me wonder if my KL1 2 gen, will fit on my Q3, i'll have to dig it out.
Help, i am lost, but i can see.:thinking:
