Hi all.
Just idly pondering if LED tech and EDC lights in general have progressed enough that it might be worth an upgrade from my long-standing EDC?
I bought an Eagletac D25A Clicky, with neutral white XM-L2 U2 emitter, just over 7 years ago. (Datasheet here: http://www.eagtac.com/html/d25arc/specs.html )
It's been my EDC ever since, and I still like it a lot. I've definitely had my £32-worth out of it over the years, and no doubt it will carry on for good few years more if I don't find a worthwhile upgrade.
Criteria for my EDC are...
Cheers!
Jonny

Criteria for my EDC are...
- 1xAA form factor
- Slim and straight body for pocketability (no lumpy bumpy crenelated horrors)
- Neutral or warm white emitter (hate the harshness of cool white)
- Clicky switch
- Moonlight mode
- Flashy-flashy modes either non-existent or "hidden" in UI
- Ability to run on both NiMH AA and 14500 Li-Ion cells
- Significantly improved performance (output and/or runtime) vs current XM-L2
- Price £50 or less
- Prefer not to buy from outside the UK
Cheers!
