Gerber is now shipping the Cortex Compact, a single cell light offering low, high (125 lumens at 2 hours) and strobe functionality. It is water resistant and the grippy Black textured body incorporates a pocket clip. It also incorporates Gerber’s Omnivore technology which will accept CR123 or AA batteries.
I carried the Streamlight PT1L forever. My best and favorite light. I replaced it with a pocket light from Rogue Gunfighter because it’s smaller and easier to carry. The stats on the Cortex are similar to my PT1L but the Omnivore tech may have me sold. That’s AWESOME.
