Picked up a Surefire L1 tonight

kinda long for a one cell light, wish it were shorter
but it it feels pretty good in the hand
I love the 2 levels of output, I'm so used to it from having it on the A2

also this is a newer light that has the round body, instead of squared like the older bodies. My A2 is old ,and has a square body.

The round body fills the hand better, and feels more comfortable.


the low beam is indeed low
very usefull when u just need a little light, and don't want to destroy your night vision

and the high beam is very useable

this is my first luxeon equipped flashlight
the color has just a hint of blue to it, only really noticeable when i compare it to an incandescent

when the batteries in my A2 are depeleted to the point where the incandescent goes dim, is when i change out the batteries
I tried one of those depleted batteries in the L1, and they seem to work just fine, which is nice.

so far, i like it.....i look forward to putting it thru some real use

here is a pic of it sayin hi to the rest of the family
