What do you guys think, should I pick up the Cree E2L or an L1?
Technically, the purchase would be to replace an old E2e incan. I like the E2e for throw and how it can light stuff up even when it isn't directly in front of me like when I have to check under my car or repair a flat tire. The old L1 does have awesome throw but it doesn't light up the target as much as the E2e. However, my E2e seems too bright for lots of activities like going into the basement to putz with hot water heater, or trying to read address numbers on a mailbox without drawing too much attention.
Any advice?
