Hi all,
first I must say that it's been a relief to find out that I'm not the only one with a flashlight obsession! I was beginning to think something was wrong with me!
I've been reading as much as possible on this and other forums trying to educate myself on all the various lights and I have a question. My next purchase will probably be another EDC (current EDC is a SF E1 executive) and I'm looking for something a little smaller but brighter.
My current top 2 choices are the Fenix P1 and the JIL-Lite Intelli/DD.
Can anyone shed some light (no pun intended) on the differences between them, or suggest similar alternatives? I haven't yet figured out how to interpret most specs such as lumens, candlepower, etc so laymans terms would be great!
I know the P1 is a 1xcr123 and the JIL is a 1xCR2, and the JIL seems to have a lot more flexibility at almost twice the price of the P1, but I'm basically looking for something in this size range that is as bright as possible with as long a throw as possible.
Also, how would these lights compare to my E1 (older GM model I think with clip attached to head).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Nigel
