that should be L1 with 1W LED

i read that they will have a L2 with 3W LED and dual stage output level

i drool over the L5 with 5W LED (65 lumens for 60 minutes) and a M2 body ...

i like the LED so much cause it will have some useful light even when the batteries are dying ...

You guys just gave me the best idea for my dad's present. He has a thing for flashlights b/c it's great for work. I was thinking of getting him the A2 Aviator but don't know which LED color. Blue or White? Any suggestions?

i think green and blue seems brighter to our eyes cause our eyes can pick up green light better.

white will let you have your full sense of color while green or blue won't.

and also, if my memory serves right, i think red (i.e. blood) will appear dark under blue light and blue light enhances contrast.

if you want LED/incandescent combo, you can also consider Streamlight TwinTask 2L . it's not HA III but it offers similar performance at about 1/2 of the cost.
