I just bought the new UK SL4 L1 eled light and wanted to hopefully post some useful comments for anyone else who is looking to purchase it.
I was using UK C8 Pistol grip light(not eled). I thought it was a great light but I broke the handle trying to open it to remove the batteries for a flight.
So- I went light shopping.......
The SL4 L1 has a very impressive bright white light that is brighter than the C8, but, the cone of light is slightly smaller. It is also waaaay brighter than my old SL4 and my Princton Tec 400.
It is more compact and takes only 4 batteries compared to the 8 for the C8 which is always nice when you are trying to keep your bag under 50lbs to fly. It advertises twice the burn time of the C8 as well. Yet to be tested on that.
For me I think I found a great light!
