i got one of the two lights i want for campin/night hiking.
usually i am a crazy gadget guy that loves to have lots of settings and everything on my gear, but i find with a flashlight i want one all-purpose light, tough as nails and waterproof, with momentary on that has the right lumens and good runtime. from lookin inside your bag, your tent, a map or lighting up the trail - one setting, one light, one switch. easy peasy. so i got the surefire e2l cree.
it is bright enough to light up all the trail u need, not too bright to ruin close quarter use. a jack of all trades.
i do have the fenix L2D CE Q5 edition and i like it, but i think i prefer less options when most of the time i just want one setting. ill keep it in my bag for the SOS stuff maybe when hiking, but i realize now i prefer a nice one setting momentary on do it all light. momentary on is such a great thing.
so i have this light already, the e2l cree. my 2nd light i want to get for outdoor/campin/hiking use is a thrower. i havent picked this light up yet so i cant speak from experience - but i am thinkin of the fenix T1 since it has momentary on as well, and serious throw, and is seriously tough. other candidates are the tiablo A8 and some of the lumahunter lights. i will get this thrower closer to spring, see what else pops up or gets released between now and then. again, momentary on is a big thing for me, hence leaning to the T1. maybe this is not a big deal for you.
of course, you could just sub in a headlamp for the e2l cree since if you so desire. but i think u need a thrower in the mix. i haevnt gotten a headlamp yet so i cant say - 1 i love the idea, 2 i keep thinkin if you ever stop to talk to your group, if you keep your headlamp on you will just keep blindin them, so you have to turn it off every time you stop to chat with your group. i dunno, but like i said, i havent gotten one yet so i cant speak from experience.
