OK - was I expecting eye-popping brightness. Not really. Its sole purpose in life is to be reliable, and burn awhile. It ain't supposed to (wait for it...here it comes) the brightest bulb in the drawer.
I just expected more for the price.
OK - so when I'm a zillion feet into a cave, and my billion dollar canister goes south, a couple of these will get me home. Life in a balance, my back up between me getting out alive or becoming a statistic - I'm down.
I just expected more for the price.
The knurled grip is essentially worthless (no way that helps with gloves on), the pattern is a spotty, I need two hands to turn it on, and my AA light is much brighter.
I just expected more for the price.
I need to re-think my lighting needs. I'm never a zillion feet into a cave, I'm an open water kinda guy. I bought this more to see what all the hoopla is about. I got it. It works. It always works. Its supposed to work. I presume it will work. I'm confident I can bet my life on it working.
I just expected more for the price.
I think there's an eBay trip in this light's future.
I want a muthah bright back up in about the same size range (2 or 3 C is fine). Overdriving the bulb - I'm fine with that. I need bright. I don't need lifesaving. I need a light I can turn on one-handed.
I don't know what I need. I'm in light limbo. I need to noodle on this for a bit. My LC is hitting eBay soon and I'm getting a 10w HID...that is known. As for back up, well....
I just expected more for the price.
