OK, so I didn't realize this light was so small. Apparently it is. Though, there are a lot smaller lights.
I picked this one out for three reasons:
1. Low lumen output on low (4 lumens, less than half that of my Fenix PD35 on low = better low-level lighting, such as reading in camp)
2. Over 200 lumen output on high, almost 300.
3. red LED to preserve night vision.
I am still waiting for my batteries to charge before I fire it up, should be close... they were at 4.15 volts just now.
Observation on battery charging:
I have the Nitecore I2 chargers (2 now, one in this kit also) and the 18650 I use in my PD35 hits 4.2 volts when the top LED is flashing, or very shortly after. The 16340's that came with the EC1 hit 4.15 volts when the top LED was flashing. So far they are still not at 4.2 volts and now all 3 LED's are solid on the charger, I'd assume designating that the charger has completed it's cycle.
