Need some recommendations for a new light to fill the gap between my Surefire E1L and M6LT- looking for a backup for the pack.
Basically it's either a cheapo SF (really want a C2 but that's difficult) or Solarforce host with a low priced LED drop-in OR something more expensive off the shelf, thinking EB1, E2L or maybe a HDS. The E1L's high is sometimes not bright enough and the M6 too big to carry. Not sure if I should go for the second option and spend twice the monies.
What would you guys do? Please keep in mind I'm in Germany. Thanks!
Ok, I guess EB1 or HDS. I read quite a few threads about drop-ins again this morning over at cpf and most say there's always risk to damage the module if you got heat issues with the host/light assembly. Too complicated for now.
EB1 would be similar to my E1L in terms of haptic and I like the clip. Would like to try a HDS but price is higher and the Rotary doesn't come with a pocket clip and you can't fit one easily because of the rotary feature -which is pretty cool I think. I like holster carry, so that's no dealbreaker. I might order to see how it is. I'm not sure about the lumens, EB1 should be much brighter than the E1L but have no idea about the HDS.
That Surefire-AAA. With Max's Quantum in the mail, I should be set with keychain lights. But it's interesting, though. Get one Roy!!
Talked to Shorty in the SB this afternoon and he made some good points.
To sum up, both -EB1 and HDS- are almost the same price for me here. But if I go SF, import would save me about €100. Anything 2-cell of the E-Series is higher. I'll probably order the HDS and see if it works for me. Return shouldn't be a problem. Good thing, Backup and HDS are small enough to fit in my pocket. Also like the more affordable G2X, 6Px and Fury lights but those don't give me the versatility of the single cells.
I love my hds. You can customize the hell out of it.
