| Starting with the bad: * Although it incorporates carbon fibre, which is usually associated with low weight, the L2C is actually heavier than its aluminium counterparts (which you can see from the specs). If they used the material to its fullest potential, I would expect it to be at least as light as the P1. * It barely qualifies for the "anti-rolling design" description. It's just about good enough to not roll off a very slightly sloping surface, as long as it's not nudged. * It can't tail-stand. And the good points: * It's really well made. Perfect machining, and the carbon fibre is integrated seamlessly. Very smooth threads. * It's covered in carbon fibre. It might be mechanically pointless, but it looks pretty. * The stainless steel bezel protects it from damage (I know because I accidentally dropped mine on the floor). If you want something that's so nice that you want it to get dark just so you have an excuse to use it, then this might be for you. If you only want a good torch, there are cheaper ones that work just as well. | |
