Yeah... just because of specs. different lights are better for different people. Sometimes you will be blown away by the feel of a light because it is ergonomic or just "clicks" with you. I love gear reviews... but Streamlight, Fenix, 4sevens, Surefire etc. all definitely have kick ass lights.
According to streamlight's website the 2L is brighter then the 1L:
(1L brightness) "29 lumens typical with xenon bulb; 24 lumens from 3 LEDs"
(2L brightness) "72 lumens typical with xenon bulb; 25 lumens from 3 LEDs"
The run time on the 2L is 28 hours for the LED and 2.5 for the Xenon, Whereas the run time on the 1L is 1.5 for the Xenon and 9.5 for the LED. Like you say in the vid though, the 1L is much more compact, and the fact that it only takes 1 cell and is cheaper makes it redeemable IMO.
You really should check out fenix flashlights dollar for dollar will blow stream light away. However to save bucks go to dealextreme . com and check out the line of cree lights
Thanks. Is your suggestion from experience w/both? I'm familiar with the different brands, Pelican, SL, Surfire, Fenix etc. IME streamlights are some of the highest value lights out there. Doing flashlight demos on YT doesn't do justice for the flashlight being reviewed. They decrease the quality bigtime.
@dsarti1 You obviously are taking advice on good flashlights from nutnfancy. And obviously don't know . So let me fill you in cree lamps have orange peel reflectors they throw beams bright out to 30 yards. Other then that... And the rate their lumens out the front much higher then others. When tested by users whom own both. They find the american lights alot better.

The fenix is from experence,, the cheap ones are just by looking at the spec's ,they use the same diode as the finex. I have not ordered one yet.
