I am looking for a Surefire handheld light that I can EDC for use as both a weapon light (but not weapon mounted - my handgun won't take a WML) and as a light with enough juice to temporarily blind or disorient an assailantat at contact distance out to perhaps 10 feet. Disorient enough to allow me to vacate the area or draw my G26 if necessary (I am not LE).
I have narrowed it down to the G2Z MV (800 lumens and a wide field of view) or the EDCL2-T (1200 lumens and a long throw).
I prefer the wide wall of light the MV reflector provides, but there is no low beam for general tasks. It's strictly a combat light.
The EDCL2 offers more lumens and a low setting, and therefore may be a better general purpose light, but I'm not sure its beam pattern is best.
The G2Z MV works with the Rogers technique, and it's nice to have that option, but I almost always train using the Harries technique and sometimes the Neck Index technique. Either light works with those.
A quick search did not provide any info. Any suggestins or opinions?
