Hi, i'm new here, and very new to flashlights. I've been EDC'ing a Fenix E01 for a few weeks now and have been using it more than I thought I would. Its a great little light but I find myself wanting a little more power. Now i'm getting all excited looking for new lights and itching to get all kinds of lights and feeling guilty for wanting silly (but useful) toys at the same time. Anyways, there are two lights that catch my eye, the Nitecore Ez123 and the Solarforce l2. I was initially going to try some el-cheapo brighter lights off dealextreme but I have a weakness for higher quality machined metal (and i dont want to wait a month) and these two seem to scratch that itch without breaking the bank.
1) I know the Solarforce l2 is a knockoff but i cant resist its looks. What drop in should i use to wring the most power out of 2 cr123a's at a reasonable price? Can i use 2 cr123a's in an l2?
2) Is there any better value than the Nitecore ez123 that i should know of? I want to spend as little money as possible, but still want a decent quality, bright, keychainable, edc light.
These addictions to quality objects are addicting
Thanks
