I like the features of both lights but I don't know which one would be better. The 7060 could be used as both a duty light and tactical light because it is small and it would be easier to keep on my belt (it also has a tail switch along with the normal switch behind the lamp) but it has a shorter run time (1.5 hours), lower lumens (130), and only a single battery option (internal recharcheable lithium ion). The 8060 is great because it is BRIGHT (almost 200 lumens), it has a 4 hour run time, and it allows the rechargeable pack to be replaced with 4 C-cell batteries and extend the use for another 11 hours! However, the 8060 it pretty big, more expensive, and I will probably have to have another light (small tactical light) for clearing buildings and such. Price points look like around $100 for the 7060 and about $130-$150 for the 8060. I will be working 4, 10 hour shifts each week, in a city of about 130,000. Do you have any suggestions, ideas, or comments on these lights? Thanks a million.
