Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm slowly trying to ramp on my DIR lore as I slowly move towards a more DIR setup. I did a search for these two (search: scout recoil) and only found one post somewhat on the topic from earlier in the year.
What is is about the Pelican Sabrelite Recoil LED that makes it ill-suited for DIR? Is it simply a plastic vs. metal thing? Light output? Shape? Not cool enough?
Pelican is known (IMO) for making pretty good products, and this three-C backup light seems pretty darn close in specs to the Scout, but the batteries last a lot longer and it costs less.
I currently have a UK mini Q40 LED that I'm looking to migrate to a tertiary status, and get something a little beefer attached in a DIR-compatible way, but the comparison between these two lights keeps bugging me and stopping me from making a final decision.
