>>1398529Thanks for the recommendation, I may end up getting a few. And holly crap 1200mAh from a AAA, I forget how much non-rechargeables can hold.
>>1398556Yeah if I had so much money I did not care, they do look nice.
>>1398594The form factor of the light can only dissipate so much heat. He could go with a much higher output Cree, but it would only be able to sustain that out put for a short time before jumping down, like the similar sized 1,800lm Nitecore Concept 1.
I think the kind of person willing to spend so much on a light for the sake of pocket jewelry would appreciate more stable outputs and the better color accuracy with the lower output Nichia. And honestly, I just got my first light with a Nichia and it's kind of amazing, it looks almost like sun light, it makes all my lights with "warm" Cree LEDs look blue/green. I would value that color more than having 50% output for a few minutes when it comes to a EDC pocket light.
I guess it is a case of; The tuned STI maybe faster around the track than the Ferrari 488, but the owner of the 488 does not want to have to worry about keeping up his turbo pressure, or wonder if that new radiator can handle the Californian summer.
