Im looing for a drop in with some decent throw and spill.
I have a R2 single mode at the moment and its great for throw but i think for edc you need a bit of both.
If you had to decide between a R5 or an MCE in a Solarforce L2M what one would you choose and why?.(Both being roughly the same price).
I know i will get the + in the middle of the MCE drop in but how bad is it?. Ive heard everythng from not at all noticable in real use too being really bad.
I was looking at the SST-50 drop in but ive been told a single cr123 wont be enough to drive it properly so that doesnt seem like an option.
I only have ebay to shop from atm so any links to any drop in you can recomend appreciated.
Im a noob:sick2: and dont really understand why i need a 186500 to run a sst-50 but thats the max of my knowledge as far as flashlights go so any info would be well apprecieted.
I also dont know what amp the driver is driving these bulbs at but they both have a maximum 4.2v rating.
Again run time isnt as important as much as is a perfect beam and also some extra lumens are the top of my list.
Thanks in advance for any info.:thumbsup:
