Im in the waiting list for the CR2-ion by Endeavour. The light has exactly the price range of $100-150. However, after reading around, considering and recalculating, etc, I feel that there are a few contenders and legitimate EDC led lights in the price range.
some i can think of:
1. CR2-ion
2. HDS Basic 42 or 60
3. KL1 + 1CR123 body + McE2S or E1L with extra McE2S
4. Firefly ?
5. any others?
I previously thinking about the Keylux N-cell with AAA extension option but I decided that, for EDC, a dual (at least) stage is a must.
What do you guys think about each of the contenders?
What i can think of:
-CR2-ion: CR2 battery, does NOT support RCR2. smallest
-HDS basic 42: 4 stage brightness, support R123, low availability?
-E1L or KL1 combo: support R123, exchangeable options for future lights (aleph, surefires E-series), the biggest of them all (especially the bezel) ?
-Firefly: not sure on this...
anyone can add in or comments? appreciate it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
