This is probably a stupid question but please do not mock me. I am choosing a new EDC/Pocket worn. Since I have killed my original Titan. Of course SF will fix it but want something nicer.
So assuming I do not really need more than 200LM. I carry UDR Dominator on my belt. I can get like Photon, Prometheus, Sinner, Maratac ETC all under 200LM. Or I can get a EagleTac or Olight that(claims) it is 500-900LM in the same size package on a CR123 instead of 1xAAA like the former ones. 150-ishLM is not low output anyways?
I just figured you old schoolers like me are over cheap lumens and would go for quality. I have the UDR on me plus I have an E2D. I am just a rancher not EMS/LEO. I would say I have it covered and should enjoy the custom light instead of Chinese stuff? I mean Fenix is okay but still not the likes of what I mentioned above. I am just figuring since I have the whole gamut, quality over quantity. Unless those Chinese lights are in fact good? I am not kidding. Never had one. Anyways, if I got a custom I figured I would get Copper. Thanks
Put a 10440 in the ones I like and they are not exactly low lumen lights. About the same as the ones from China on CR123. Of course risk blowing Nichia 219 or driver probably not though. I think I made my choice.
