Re: The Red Dragon and his brothers

I like the first one :) I love my Red Dragon, it's my "go-to" light when I am at home utilizing it's multiple brightness levels. With at least 600 lumens on tap on high, almost 18hrs. of runtime on low, and a beam profile thats got to be about as perfect as a beam can possibly get, why would I grab anything else(did I mention gulit free lumens)??? When I know I am going to be needing light outside, then it comes with me out of the house.....but it is not my EDC...only because it's too big(not that it's a "big" light by any means, just not pocketable). I would love to have a "family reunion"!!


And off topic, Icarus, did you get my PM about your "Third eye" TriLux??
