Firefly E12C vs E12R? (lemmy.world)

Hello flashlight community!

I've been mulling over for some time now between these 2 lights. I haven't really seen much discussion or comparison between these two. Is the buck driver really that much better?

What I like about the E12C is the waterproof rating and the redesign. It is also a little cheaper.

The E12R has the buck driver which everyone really likes, but I have no experience with it.

They both function as a powerbank which I think is really cool. The E12C has 3 amps output vs 2 amps of the E12R.

Does anyone have any experience with these lights or anyone who would like to chime in?

I have both, E12r all the way due mostly to the better driver and optic. Plus I also like how it's visually smaller due to the way the button area is flat rather than angled. (Some speak highly of the angled button's ergonomics though so ymmv.) Another thing is the smooth ramping on my E12c isn't very smooth at all.

have you noticed a big difference in the battery life between using the flashlights? Any other things you like about them?
