I have a Scorpion, E2e, Arc LSH, and a Heliotek. Last night I was deep in the woods and using the lights at various distances and while walking. My newbie experiences gave me the following results:
- the Heliotek was a fantastic thrower and only marginal for trail walking with the diffuser in place.
- E2e and Scorpion were nice throwers and to my eyes the flood on the Scorpion was real nice for trail walking(edged out the E2e).
- the LSH was nice for trail walking but the colors were distorted.( I preferred the Scorpions output)
My question: What would be the best Luxeon based light in a EDC size that would be best as a wide flood but still acceptable throw? A two stage switch would be nice, if available. I was looking at the Likki- Lite and the numbers looked pretty good. How about a Pelican M6 or a Scorpion LED? Any recommendations? Quality of the beam and the light itself is of primary importantnce. Thanks for the suggestions ! Dave PS: I EDC my Arc which is a great size. Any lights that size meet my criteria?
