Well some people may remember this thread, and my Surefire A2 Aviator that was "lost". I've been missing it greatly as of late. Keep doing things where a flashlight is needed, or a better one than the crappy $4 plastic ones. So I have been looking into getting a real light again.
I need a light that has a low/high option (with more settings a plus), bright high end (my A2 was great at 50 lumens, but want to step it up to 80-100 min), uses 2 CR123's max, and about the same size as the A2 was. So far I am looking at lights that are $150-$300, but would like to stay around the $200 mark if possible.
The Surefire lights I am torn between are:
A2L Aviator when it's released (I don't know the ETA release date though) @$200
E2D LED @$150
L2 Lumamax @$200
LX2 Lumamax don't know when it will be released $????
UB3 Invictus can't find release date $???
U2 Ultra @$275
Any others I should look at (Surefire or otherwise)?
Edit: I've narrowed it down so now it's between the E2DL Defender, or the E1B Backup. For about the same price, and similar specs any benefit of one over the other? I am thinking about a Fenix light as an alternative as well.
