QUOTE(Justin.Loong @ Nov 20 2019, 09:00 AM) Nice one! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The ony reason why I was reluctant to buy is the proprietary battery issue.  that was one of my primary concerns before i decided to pull the trigger. the s2r ii was a very very close contender but it also uses customised batteries. so on that note, they both tied. klarus loss out on runtime since s2r ii had 3200 mah batteries compared to klarus' measly 2600 mah batteries (they really should have provided for a 3600mah option) and is that wee bit longer with the clicky switch... but its also that clicky switch that won me over. the klarus also looks sleek with its mild knurling compared to the the s2r ii's chunky knurling, but i suppose that's a personal preference (admittedly, the grip isn't great when paired with the clicky switch... but it's enough).

Agreed on both torchlight are that close. Klarus paddle switch is really unique!  And yeah, Klarus should have given a better battery than the included 2,600mAh.

QUOTE(WingNut @ Nov 20 2019, 10:39 AM) end of the day it boils down to the level that you're most likely to use and imo in a tent, 100l is more than enough... as is the 400l for walkabout. hence, comparing the two: s2r ii v e1 @ 120l: 14 hr v 14.5h @ 400l 4.5h v 3.4h so going by the official specs alone, you win some, you lose some (although at s2r ii's price level, had the klarus shipped with the 3600mah battery, it would have blown the competition out of the water!) u use 100L in a tent? damn thats a big tent. walkabout depends what u do, pitch black even 10L enough.

akan datang... the i1r2 eos. what i find strange is that although it pushes 20l more, it seems to be a downgrade from its predecessor in the sense that: (i) smaller battery capacity (70mah vs 80mah); (ii) lesser throw (40m v 54m) (iii) lesser light intensity (400cd v 730cd) (iv) less stamina (@ max 15m v 20m; @ 5l 6h v 7h) (v) fractionally heavier (13g v 12g) (vi) fractionally bigger so what gives???
