In all the excitement over a 'different' light release, my just received (same day as the 'different' light) OD Green 2.8, 4500 EDC was not given the respect it deserved! First off, I love the aluminum - it is light and can even be carried in suit pants pocket without any aggravation - barely know it is there. Second, I love the OD green Cerakote!! Third - I love the beam - the same smooth beam that my 6500 has, just warmer and more pleasant (for my eyes).
Fourth - an added surprise that I wasn't expecting - this morning I was doing some quick photos of a 'different' light and needed some auxiliary lighting - I use soft lights on the sides and a bounce flash to fill the scene with light without getting glare. My Sundrop was in the other room and I was too lazy to go get it, so I popped the EDC in the holder, fired it through a screen, and it was perfect. What a nice side benefit - it will make a great photography light!
