I'm really a sucker for tiny LED lights with punch. I've tried all the big powerful incandescent lights now such as the M6 and the UBH with 1X123 extender, (12V), with KT2 turbo head and MN60 and MN61 LA's. They were nice but believe it or not, left me unimpressed. After trying the "big guns" I've settled on my black G2 with a black KT1 turbo head and N1 LA converted to 5W with MM 750 as my "big" light. Still sort of small but a nice throw and perfect round, white beam and so lightweight!
I guess I'm a confirmed LED junkie now but really like lights that are TINY and produce an inordinate amount of light. I'm one of those "weirdoes" that doesn't like the ARC AAA or ARC AA because their output really is lacking and I'm tired of blue or violet LED's. I have an old ARC-LS and it is nice! Sure, it's blue, but it's also very bright! I also have an old E1 with a KL1 head that I modded with an R2K and it is so white with such a wonderful beam!
My favorite really TINY light right now is lamda's Nano-Mate with turbo head conversion. So tiny and really bright and white for it's size. I had one of lambda's Micro Illuminators and it was great but was just a smidgen too large, (oxymoron here!). I'm anxiously awaiting a couple of lambda's Pico-Illuminators!
I know this is a contradiction considering I just stated that the MI was too large but I also love my L4. What a great light with a big room-filling bright beam that is so nice and really a handy size for the light it emits.
I now have a DSpeck Firefly coming and can't wait! It's just a tiny bit larger than an ARC AAA and tons brighter. I'm going to mod it however to be a bright as it can be!
I can't wait to see what our great mooders here on CPF will come up with in the next couple of years especially with LED technology marching on as it is! Maybe a Pico-Illuminator with a beam brighter and with more throw than a L6! Yeah, bring it on! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
