I've been EDCing a Proton that's replaced my trusty old E2E, but I'm very tempted to get the new KX2 to start carrying it again with insane battery life on one setting and a solid high beam that probably tops the Proton.
...But for one dollar less, I could get a complete G2L and six extra batteries to fill my spares carrier. Twelve hour runtime, so I'd get a light plus 48 hours worth of light, whether usable or moon-beam. But the E2L could top that on one set of batteries on low.
Do I shoot for the ultimate beater light and a C123 hoard that'll keep me going through an extended outage/emergency, or upgrade the one I have and get a long-running low beam and the high beam? The Proton is amazing, but I'm still assured either Surefire will top it for overall power, and the simple but sometimes preferred on-off mechanism compared to the advanced but still overly complex interface the Proton has.
Do I want another light, or should I just revive the old one?
