here's a question for you LED gurus out there, how's the light ouput of the CMG reactor compare to the Inretech 2AA adapter? I'm contemplating which one should I get, they both use one 1W Luxeon Star and both uses 2 AA batteries, each have their pros and cons, mainly for CMG Reactor
Pro: Its a complete flashlight, it says it can shine and illuminate objects 75ft away.
con: There's a lot of talk about getting ones with greenish tint? Also the switch does not have a detent position for on and off.
For the Inretech 2AA adapter,
pros: flexiable, I can drop it in any flashlight that has similar desgin to the mini mags. I don't hear alot of compalints about the LS having greenish tint.
Cons: If I'm buying the kit version(which I am, since its cheaper)its only for the adapter, not a complete flashlight. They don't boast that it has a 75feet range so I'm not sure how far it will shine. And also I heard that its not recommended to use lithium batteries with the Inretech adapters whereas the CMG is?
So that's my situation, and no I can't buy both of them, I would love to since I have been a flashlight nut ever since I was a kid and now I have upgraded to LED flashlight nut, but still, budget would not allow me to do so, therefore I must pick one. Also I tried to find the ouput of these two lights and no literature that I found ever stated them in the same units for comparison, one of the sources say the CMG produces 198 some cd while others talk about the Inretech 2AA adapter in units of luminal or some unit that like that.
anyways, advices?
