Looking for a new EDC instead of my JetBeam RRT-O Raptor... I love the light, but hate the holes in my back pockets. The base of it, while making for a great stand base, has a square edge that is killing my pants. Needing to have less-common, CR123 batteries on hand is a bit of a drawback also. The infinitely adjustable beam is nice, but always seems to be on high, and I really only need low, medium, high settings. The brightness is spectacular, though the beem is a tad bit flood-ish for my needs. The greenish tint of the beam has always annoyed me a little. Overall, it's a great light and do not regret purchasing, but I think I can find something better suited for me.
I guess I'm looking for something shaped like a MiniMag, but bright like the RRT-O, with a tail clicky, uses 2xAA, and a few brightness modes.
TL;DR - List of wants/needs:
- Smooth body, like MiniMag for EDC in pocket
- 2xAA powered. Would consider rechargeable
- Mid beam, leaning towards throw
- Good/Great CRI for wiring work
- Tail clicky. Tail standing would be handy, but not required
- 3 or more brightness levels, no need for flashing
Thoughts?
