I had modified with a 219 because I wanted something awesome. It's in my pocket now. (Sunwayman V11R modified by a guy who advertises on CPF if you care. the reason for that particular light is I love the magnetic control ring UI combined with the tailcap on/off switch...)
enough that I figured I could justify a little "extravagance" and getting exactly what I wanted. If this lasts me, say, as long as a car, it'll have been worth it.
There is a lot to be said for a EDC light that fits your needs. My Dad's was a mini mag with LED Nite Ize module in a belt carry nylon holster. Other folks I know, like the Innova, or some other.
Mine was Mini Mag with Teralux module. I looked under my truck one day, and left it behind. It was about three hours drive away, and I didn't think it would be there when I returned (Walmart parking lot). The new Teralux 5-EX I got over heated and went dark. I was able to exchange it and get a new one. Draws 1.4 watts, and puts out good light.
