Hi all,
I have been spending hour after hour on this sight (as well as the web) researching all manner of Flashlights. No doubt there are a great number of wonderful Flashlights available these days but, trying to find THE one (EDC) for my needs is a bit overwhelming. After much research, I am leaning towards the HDS system Tactical lights. I am looking for a Flashlight with an easy UI. I like the fact the the HDS is already programed to my liking. I found other Flashlight programing much too confusing for my taste. I also want a small'ish size light that has BLINDING power if needed. A strobe could also be very useful. Also, one handed operation is important to me. I'd like a light that is more of a "thrower" than a flood. Of course quality built and simple operation (especially under stress) is a given. I live in a somewhat rural area of Maine and I travel over one hundred miles (round trip) daily so, I spend a lot of time on the Highway. In case you haven't heard, it can get a wee bit cold here in Maine so, a robust/well made flashlight that can be operated with a GLOVED hand is important consideration. I admit to liking the ELZETTA but, I think the ELZETTA might be a bit too big for EDC unless it's in a holster which I rather not have to deal with at this time. Come on ELZETTA, how about a ONE cell 123 ? Anyway, do you CPF members ESPECIALLY you HDS SYSTEM fans think the 120 Tactical will fit the bill or should I save my Pennies and go for the 170 Tactical (assuming the HDS systems is the way to go for my needs). Thanks in advance.
