having a lux3 would do next to nothing to improve the light as a whole.
on the boost level, it might put out 2 or 3 more lumens, but not all that much.
remember that the primary drive level will not be 700ma, only the boost will!
anything less than that will be better suited for the 1watter, not the lux3. even at those levels a 1w still performs admirably.
as has been said, this isn't the light for the "tim allen" consumer, so why try to make it that way?
if you want bright, go out and buy a surefire l4 or a mod.
if you want a near-perfect edc, then buy an ls4, it's really as simple as that.

well said, roth /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
also, for bright, you can get L5, L6, etc etc (you know what i mean) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
to add to what already been said, Lux3 actually gives POORer performance than the 1W if you run it 350 - 400 mA. But we all know that LS4 mainly run in 350 mA range, so using Lux 3 would not be a good idea, at all. beside, the purpose of LS4 is as edc, as a light where you can use and carry whenever you go. If you want bright and long throwing light, you should carry some other flashlight /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
isn't that what define us, flashaholic? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
