After alot of thinking and owning quite a few lights I`ve come to the conclusion that 4 modes (lightlevels , without strobe or sos) are a must and perfect for EDC (every day carry). Not mor not less .
The reason for me to think so is this.
1. Most everyone want`s a low low for preserving nightvision so that is one mode.
2. Second I want a low mode that still has unbelievable runtime but is more usable for more tasks. That would be the 15-20 lumen range.
3. Third you would want a nice bright mode for a lot of light and decent runtime like maybe 60 lumens for 4 hours or something like that .
4. And last but not least you want to have blinding light to light up the whole forest path maybe in an emergency or you just walk your dog near your house using rechargables and say hey " I want to get as much guilt free lumens out of the latest and greatest Led technology that is possible.
So that is why I really hope the comming HDS clicky will be my ultimate EDC light.
What do you guys think? How many and which levels would you want in an "any possible situation could appear" capable EDC light?
