This is an old/newbie question, and I've used "search" about three days now.. too much info in fact.
Okay, here's the deal;
At work I use company provided Magcharger, but I always have a backup light, if I for example do not take magcharger with me, when going in to a building. Now, I have used all kinds of backups , AA minimag, Walther "tactical"(crap), Ledlenser David (charge), etc etc.. At the moment I'm carrying a Fenix L2D, and Fenix P3D premium is soon to arrive. It will be my EDC-off duty light.
Still, I want a long lasting and DURABLE (can take a beating) backup-light, so I'm kinda leaning towards Surefire. My work-partner for example has SF Z2 combat with him, and I like it. BUT I don't want that, I want a LED version.
Comparing just Lumens is not enough, I know that L1 gets a beating compared to L2 and L4 in that sence, but.... thats not the only thing that matters.
so, reviews, comparisons, etc about those three would be appreciated.
Let's put it this way, would I manage with "just" L1 as a backup?
I like tha fact that L2 and L4 give out 100 lumens, but L2 is kinda long, and from what I've read, L1 almost kicks L4:s ***, even if it's just 65 Lumens??
Usage would be mainly indoors, checking rooms etc. Maybe sometimes even off-duty, taking the trash, walking the dog etc etc.
So, waiting for an advice, thanks to ya all,
