I have grown to love the 5W beam over the LuxIII beams in most situations, the wider hotspot makes it alot more useful in most situations. Unless I am outside in large open areas, I find I dont really need the tight spot of the LuxIII.
Currently I have a couple dimmable 5W mag mods, and my Surefire L4, which I am currently EDCing. With a resistored tail cap. So at least it has 2 levels.
But, I really like multiple light levels from a light, makes it alot more useful.
So I have had my eye on the Surefire U2 a good bit.
But, I am really not liking the pricetag. When my mag mods will greatly out perform it. Though they are alot larger, so thats not real fair.
Is the U2 small enough to EDC?
I barely notice the L4 on me at all, but it seems the U2 is alot larger, and with bezel down carry.
Anyone here EDC it? What do you think of the clip, and the larger head being down in your pocket?
I dont really see many alternatives to it. Theres a couple 2 level lights out there, but not multiple level.
If anyone knows of an alternative I may want to look at, please let me know.
How does the U2 perform on Pilas? What are the runtimes like? Is the brightness the same?
I dont want to run 123s in it, so its important that it performs well on Pilas.
What is the beam like, when compared to an L4. Or a 5W PR? Can anyone post a shot of the two?
Thanks
