thanks to everyone who responded! currently the lights i EDC is a C2 with a P60 and an arc LSH-P, so the brightest light i have is the C2. this is why i was considering the M3, because the A2 would put out roughly the same amount of light as the C2, albeit regulated and with a low output option (which my arc LSH covers). the M3 however, would give me an even brighter light which i don't have (or need /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif ) yet. additionally, the M3 would also be another source of half-depleted batteries for my arc LSH, which i still use the most out of all my lights /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
surefarc, i think you hit the nail on the head! M3 it is then! in retrospect i think i was just waiting for someone to tell me what i wanted to hear and nudge me in the direction of the M3 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
btw would anyone here be interested in an opened but mint condition A2 with white leds and some extra batteries? reason being i've reserved one from dano, but haven't paid yet because i'm still waiting for payment for an L1 i sold, so the A2 is still with him. if someone wants to take over the sale of the A2 please let me know, thanks!
