Options for new lights
Hi,
Been away from CPF for awhile, but I'm looking for some new lights. Here's what I'm looking for:
1) EDC-able, either by pocket carry or clip-on
2) LED, not warm more towards the white end of the spectrum
3) 3 modes, lowlight, medium and a high(turbo whatever it's called now)
4) Easy to use - no complicated UI that requires 14 clicks to get from low to high
5) A momentary switch - half-press to enable the light, release it goes off
6) Rechargeable- I guess either USB or using removable batteries, ability to use standard batteries if needed
7) A good throw and beam pattern, I really dislike adjustable beam lights, they always look like crap
8) Price -Possible for less than $50 each?
Also would like some good lantern style lights and a good one that is a good flood beam for lighting up the backyard when the wife takes the dog out at night. The back of our property goes right off into the woods, then comes out at the local high school about a 1/4 mile back.
Do do I ask for too much these days or is this achievable? Thanks in advance.
