I could compare the color of the A8 and the grey L2N in 3-4 days (got the L2N today, for the A8 I have to drive to customs service).
At the moment I don’t use the clip, but I have ordered it, too. I use on on the Uniquefire UF2100 (the Solarforce fit), because it the flashlight is smaller as the L2.
You’re not the only one who’s not a fan of the SF clip. Sticks out really far. Digs into me when I wear it on my belt…can’t explain exactly why but I just don’t care for it. I am sorely tempted by this L2N deal. Looks like such a sweet host but I just don’t use p60 lights much at all these days. Decisions, decisions…
I’ve found that the standard L2N forward clicky is pretty useless for mode changes. You should also order the reverse clicky tailcap (which is only available in black).
I don’t see the problem in chugging modes in a forward clicky. I don’t think it is any harder than a reverse yet you have the forward clicky goodness. Besides, I think I want a one mode light for a change. Seems like 99% of my lights are multi mode and I miss a good old single mode.
