i did a search here and only found 1 thread but wasnt very helpful for me. if anyone has one and can post some beam pics and give a small review on the ups and downs i would really appreciate the time. if possible that it can be compared to a SF U2, HDS 60, Peak lights with 1,3 or 7 LEDs or a terralux for a 2aa minimag cause those are the lights i have to go by.
basicly i'm trying to look for,
-*penlike style with pocket clip*
-water and corrosion proof
-Bright spot with good flood
-long runtime
-i want to try sticking with only 2AAA or 3AAA if i have to for longer runtime and brightness
-uses LED just for the durability and longevity
-i'm 60% towards a clickie cause i think its easier for single hand use
-try to stick with $50 or less
the Pelican L4 LED 3AAAA sounds brighter then the UK penlight but it uses 3AAAA and i dont like the looks of the body as much as the UK.
i'm getting this light for my uncle so he can carry it in his shirt pocket cause everyone else at work has one but him. he is the only one that uses (and has) the Peak 7LED i gave him (which i'm over 90% sure that its brighter then everyone else's at his work place) for his keychain but while he's working he doesnt want to carry his keys with him and a pocket penlight seems to be more convenient.
i was also looking at the LED drop in for the 2aaa minimag and Peak 3LED 2aa which i know the brightness would be good but the metal body isnt as durable and can corrode, unlike plastic, and the Peak 3LED, though its bright, doesnt have the 20-50 hour runtime like the UK LED penlight plus its about 2-3 times more expensive.
so... after all that talk, the UK 2aa LED penlight, Peak 3LED 2aaa and the drop in for a 2aaa minimag seems to be my choices unless you guys can recommend something better thats a better? and hopefully some beam shots to back it up with
thanks in advance for having you read all this and for any info you have.
