Any experience - especially from LEO who carry (or tried) to carry as a duty light. Did the lack of constant on push tail cap drive you nuts? |

Run, don't walk, and get one. I have been carrying a L7 for about 3 months now and I love it. Prior to this light I carried a Surefire M3 combat light for about 2 years, with a Z2 as a backup. The L7 has the best throw I have ever seen for L.E. purposes. It still has a bright hot spot, but it will fill an entire room with flood light. At first I was afraid that it would not keep up with the M3 at longer ranges, but that is simply not the case. I rarely use constant on, except to search cars. Just twist the bezel and you are good to go. I like the fact I can recharge the battery stick faster than I can use it. If you can get to your car cigarette lighter, you can't run out of juice. If you are going to be in the woods or expect a long night, just grab the extra battery stick and you are good for more runtime than you will likely need. I still carry the little Z2 on the other side as a backup, but don't use it often. The M3 sits retired, but still ready to go again in the safe. FWIW I gave $175 for mine for a price reference.
