So I have always admired the performance of cr123 lights however I tend to rely on aa lights because of battery availability especially in a situation where I need to rely on what I have prepped. I have carried the Felix e11 for quite a while. Two generations worth. I think it's been 5 years with this light in my pocket every day both the old and newer versions(not the e12 the old and newer e11.) maybe longer. Aside from the aa availability I use the low mode 99% of the time and 40ish lumens has been great for my needs. An available high mode is nice to have. Enter the streamlight protac 1L-1aa. Absolutely perfect user interface(when set to low/hi mode.) always comes on in low at 40 lumens which I like a lot and easily selectable to hi by a double tap. Add in that it will work on aa batteries but I can put cr123's for better performance on the daily carry. I couldn't have designed a better setup. I just bought and installed on my AR the weapon light version of this thing from a recent primary arms sale and I absolutely love it. I'm thinking of picking up a couple of these for daily carry and backup reasons. I tried to search for reviews but this site is overloaded with info and since I am a daily carrier of a light and not a true flashaholic I really get overwhelmed with the results. Questions are as follows.
1. any reviews? Do you guys like this light?
2. Any competitors with the features I like i.e. both batteries and two simple modes with low as the primary?
3. Where do I buy? I love primary arms. Those guys rock. That being said its not on their website yet even though they are a distributor. Anyone else have them?
4. Lastly this would likely be my edc for another half decade if it works as advertised and as reliable as my e11 has been through the abuse I put it through. Anyone else carry this thing or use it yet or any experience with this manufacturer? I love that I can abuse drop beat up yet stil, depend on my e11. Is the streamlight up to the glock/Fenix/toyotalike unkillabke reliability I have come to expect?
Thanks guys guys and gals for all input.
