I have done exceptionally well this school year (as my parents say) and my parents decided I deserved something (for once! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) They promised, under or around 200$ worth of flashlight money. Not to buy immediately, but during the summer /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rant.gif I dont really know what to buy. I have sworn myself to buy a HelioTek HTE Rev 2, but if there are better choices, I might not. I was thinking about a few things. Here they are.
Pila GL3/w Pilas
Heliotek HTE Rev 2.
Pila GL3XRC/w Pilas
Pila GL4RC/w Pilas
I really cant afford to restock all the time on 123s which is why I decided on rechargable, but I still have doubts. I thought the KL5+R123 setup would be nice, but I am not a good caretaker of things in general, and I am afraid I might mess up every pila or R123 that I get since I would get careless and overdischarge it. I really want the L5, but there comes the Pilas and taking care of batteries. Same with the L4. I have heard nothing but greatness of this light. All these lights are things I want, for a good reason. My first surefire, and my first actual 5 watter except for the heliotek. Problem is, I dont know what to get. Maybe I should get the Heliotek? I also want enough money left over for a LongBow Eco tube for my Micra... Suggestions?
