Finally decided to go with the Gear Sector Light mount and trying to decide between the Viking L4 light and SF E2D LED

the specs are the same but the Viking L4 has "KX2C 200 (LED) lumen output head with a Z68 Scout light tailcap.

what advantages does this provide? I can get the Reg SF for about 25-30$ cheaper

thanks

SF has two output levels and no mount
VT has 1 output level and includes a mount.  

All else appears the same to me.

Quoted:
...the Viking L4 light and SF E2D LED


The poster above me is correct. The Surefire E2D LED comes with a two stage head. This is not optimal for a weapon mounted light as the output will change from high ( 200 lumen output ) to low (15 lumen output ) under recoil. The switching is done in the two stage head when it senses a power disconnect. For the record the high output on the Surefire is also 200 lumens currently. Older models had a 120 lumen high output.

... the specs are the same but the Viking L4 has "KX2C 200 (LED) lumen output head with a Z68 Scout light tailcap.


The Scout tailcap is shrouded which helps prevent accidental discharge of the light.

Hope that helps.


10-4! thanks for all the helpful info!
