Well -- the time has come. I'm ready to purchase an EDC / General purpose light. First, let me define what I mean here. I am looking for a light that "CAN" be EDCd, but it will not be most of the time. More less an around the house, camping / working on equipment outside type light. Hunting will also be a primary task.
In looking around, I have found that I just can't quite pull myself away from the SureFire lights. I just love the design and since this will be the first light I've actually shopped for, (as opposed to "I need a light. MiniMags have worked in the past and look! They are on sale! TIme to buy anouther". ) I think I want to treat myself to a SureFire...
Since I do want to try to keep this small enough to ECD, I was thinking of perhsps the E2O model. I like the "O" since it has the longer belt clip which just looks more useful to me. I figure this will give me a great platform for continued expansion. Also, this won't break the bank in one fell swoop! I figure this gets decent run time and works quite well for my needs. Eventually, I can get the KL1 for it and the the 2 stage switch from Don. The perfect light for me.
However, if I"m going to spend the money to get all these things, why not just buy something like the A2? All the benefits of long run-time LED with a bright bulb? Perfect, right? But there are no filters for he A2 and I do want the option of red light for hunting... Sigh.. decisions are so hard!!! Plus, I'd have to put it off a couple of weeks to afford the A2.
So -- given my uses, what would you do?
I think I'm leaning to getting a light right now (E20) and upgrading as I see fit. But the verict is up to you smart folks!!! What do you think??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
