I had decided on the CQG S2 3-mode version for myself, because I wanted Low > Med > High, but now it seems that the 3-mode version is actually High > Med > Low, which is no good for me. If the 5-mode version is Low > Med > High (don't care about the other 2 modes) with no memory, that'll be the one I want.
If not, then I'll keep watching this thread, looking for a light that meets my criteria:
- XP-E, XP-G, or XM-L
- skinny (don't want a 25 mm diameter light. The CQG is only 15.5 mm)
- Low > High, or Low > Med > High, with no memory (I want the light to always come on in Low)
- clicky, but hard to accidentally switch on in pocket
- neutral white available
- floody
- works with 14500 and nimh, and provides a fairly low Low mode with either battery type
do you have a link to the batteries and a charger you recommend. i like the ideal of the eneloops because i have a 3aaa head lamp and a few other aa and aaa lights
