OK, I'm recently back into flashlight acquisition mode after a long hiatus. For your reference, here are my recent additions:
Toolvn
Jetbeam Mini-1vn
Sunwayman V11r vn
Noctigon m43 vn (goldilocks version)
Sunwayman c22cvn
Jetbeam RRT02
I want something considerably different that what I already have. I'm looking for a larger light with large head, lots of light (needs to be significantly more than the 6000+ lm of the m43vn) with great flood but also great throw (not spotlight though). Im looking for something that is large enough that might require a shoulder strap, but not too large to hand carry as well. I am hoping for something towards the more neutral tint even though the best throwing and brightest are known to be cooler tint. Budget is ~$500, plus/minus. Here are some contenders so far, feel free to add to the list, since I am really new to these lights:
Acebeam k60vn
Thrunight TN40 rechargeable
Fenix TK75vnQ70
(Fenix RC40vn flood edition at $700 is more than what I wanna spend and size too unwieldy?)
anything else in this category??
While, Im leaning against another popcan style light (since very happy with m43vn), I cant help but be intrigued by these 2 following. If you're recommending one of these, please make a good case why these over the ones up top:
Niwalker MM18 (vn version versus version II with XHP70)
TN36UTvn (not sure which spec for me?)
As usual, Im hoping to do the right research to get a light that I will use and not have to sell quickly since I don't keep lights that I don't use. Looking for your collective feedback and wisdom! Thanks in advance!!
