I bought an gunmetal finished L2 a while ago and I really like it. Like the feel, the size, the clicky, and especially the finish. I won't bother with the L2P unless they find a way to do it in gunmetal finish.
Anyway, I liked it so much I decided to buy the extender in case they stop making them in gunmetal before I got one. I generally prefer smaller flashlights but I kind of like the L2 with the extender on it. Looks pretty neat.
Ok, the trouble is now I need a new P60. I've been using the Dereelight low voltage XP-G R5 with a single AW 18650 2600ma. Obviously I can't add another 18650 with that drop in.
I'm looking for max lumens with as much throw as possible but output is my first consideration. I was thinking the Dereelight MC-E but I thought I'd ask in case you folks have any better ideas.
So in order of preference.
1) Max lumens (must be over 450 lumens to be worth adding the extender) so we're talking MC-E, P7, SST-50, or SST-90. I never really need to run it more than 10 minutes at a time on high.
2) Max throw (must meet criterion 1 first - no R2 please)
3) No strobe (I'll take it if I must)
4) If possible, I'd like to be able to use 4 X CR123a but perfectly happy to go with 2 X 18650.
