So I've been interested in getting an EDC light for a while now, just haven't really had to the time to start digging through info until now.
I just recently watched on of Range Time TS's youtube videos regarding the SureFire G2X, in conjunction with the Costa Switchback.
Do some more digging, the two models are slightly different. The Tactical model is momentary only @ 320 lumens, whereas the Pro model is momentary @ 15 lumens, and push button @ 320 lumens.
Now, I'm just starting to do research about light, how it affects the eyes, illumination in low ligh, etc. But I'm curious to see which would you guys choose?
Initially I was thinking about going with the Tactical model since it's momentary only - don't have to worry about (remembering) to manipulate the tailcap. On the other hand, the Pro model has momentary @ 15 lumens -- isn't 320 lumens a lot of light, especially in low light situations. Kind of worried that blasting 320 lumens from the G2X tactical would destroy my night vision, whereas I could use 15 lumens from the Pro model.
Thoughts?
