I am looking for an EDC, I like the bd models simply because of the striker bezel, I like the option the bd p1 gives me with the xtra tube to make it 2xAA, but I want a lot of throw to, the bd 1 comes with the xpg R5 And is rated at 145 lumens, would it out throw the bd 1p with its 180 lumen XML T6 bulb, with out the Aa extension tube?? I will be using 14500,,,, Or should I just go for the se1 and see if I can buy a striker bezel for it, my friends has just bought the se1 In a t6 format,, awesome but I think it may push itself a lil to far,, basically want a AA or 2xAA tactical light with 3 modes, striker bezel,forward click for momentary on,,, with a little more throw than spill somewhere around or above 200lumens. any ideas?? This is my first thread any help would be much appreciated..
Welcome to BLF, Swayy.
If you need throw, go for XP-E, i.e. SE1 model. XTAR has WK25B (NiMh only, AFAIK) and WK26 (14500 only, AFAIK) with that emitter. Good lights for 20 bucks :) (no striker bezel tho)
If you want 2xAA, try Fenix E21.
Everybody is 50-50 on the se1 due too driver issues, I. Ur opinion what would throw better 145l r5 or 180l t6??
