Description of JIL CR2 Upgrade lights
Part two if you want to order
Finally, comparing the two in a dark basement, the EDC 42 has a brighter hotspot, about the same diameter but dimmer spill, and the ceiling test seems to show the 1.3w puts out slightly more total light.
Shooting out my not totally dark back yard, the two seem to be about the same brightness with the JIL having a considerably larger hotspot at a distance. The EDC seems very similar to my Chop Exe/NG400. With street lights and neighbor's lights (!) I don't have a good way to compare real throw.
I've ordered a replacement lens for the EDC to provide me with more flood as I think the EDC hotspot is a little too tight for my normal (walking) use.
Maybe I should mention - the 1.3w sits on the shelf, I carry the EDC (and a TW4) every day, and the JIL Rev (DD) Upgraded is on my (work) keychain for the long runtime on a primary. But I do plan to replace the EDC with an Ultimate 85.
