So after gleaning all I could from the multiple threads, I'm thinking of investing in an Eiger duo as a new EDC combo. I find it quite handy to have both a floody light and a thrower, and I want a light that's better built than my Quark Mini 123 neutral and much less bulky than packing my Malkoff MD2 and Zebralight H31. Plus, I'd like to own some lights that don't run on CR123's. I also want small and slim. I'm starting a new career path and can't really pack the big lights anymore, so inconspicuous is best.
So two Eigers it is, of the AAA 10440 variety. This is what I'm currently thinking:
Eiger #1:
Brass, Wide beam, neutral tint, keychain variety with checkering.
Eiger #2:
Stainless, Narrow beam, neutral tint, keychain variety with checkering.
What I could use some guidance on are the power levels. I want the brass one to have a lower power level, similar to my fenix EO1. Basically, something I can read with, check in cabinets, a small, general purpose task light. Would #2 or #3 be a better choice?
For the Stainless, I would like max lumens but still a respectable runtime before dropping, around 30 minutes or so would be ok. Ideally, this will take the place of the Malkoff in a pinch. Would #7 or #8 be a better choice?
Thanks for any help you can throw my way! The amount of options are rather overwhelming at first glance, so if you think something else would work better, feel free to recommend away.
