Polak,

You really should check out the Streamlight Twin-Task lights that Rasatter mentioned in the other blackout thread. As soon as I looked at them, I ordered both the one and two cell models, one for carry (one cell) and one for my bag (the two cell). So far I have been really impressed with these lights, especially for the price. I bought both lights for the price of one of my Surefires. They are slightly larger than the respective Surefires due to the elongated head that encompases both the LED and standard bulbs, and they don't have an end cap switch, but neither are a big deal to me. The standard bulb is almost as bright as the Surefires (my eyes can't really tell the difference side-by-side) and the burn time is longer, and the 3 LEDs are brighter than I expected, with very impressive burn time on the 2 cell model (25 hours or so they claim).

Anyway, they may be a real solution to your carrying two lights (not that that is really a problem <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />). I still carry my photon as well, but so far I am really pleased with this light.

Take care...
