Flashlight Enthusiast
Whether at work or out recreating I still grab an incan 1st. Xenon is the next best thing to sliced bread. Sure you can argue that LEDs have longer regulated runtimes and the emitters are more robust. I just like the light quality much better. It used to be my LEDs were my workhorses and my incans are my backups. Now I've "seen the light" and my incans are my workhorses and my LEDs are my backups. My day to day activities don't put me in situations were I'll need a long running light for survival purposes. So my backpack sports an E2O and 9P with full spares carriers for each.
But I will admit if I'm out camping in the "Boonies" for an extended period or out on the trail where weight is a factor, I will pack a multi-level LED as my primary light.
LED flashlights weren't even concepts when I was growing up. I'm old school, I was raised with PR bulbs and "Never Ready" zinc carbide batteries.
Thanks for sharing.
