    Fullsize workhorse (light for the trunk, power outage, occassional search)

    Taking in some of your requirements like safety, foolproof, sturdy, rain, hard drops, no problems with CR123s - I would suggest taking a look at the Surefire Fury. Runs for about an hour on high and 40+ hours on low. It's at the top end of your $100 budget, but comes with a great warranty. It...

    Book reading at night outside - Light to suit

    Since you mentioned the H51, perhaps you can also consider the H51Fc, which is the floody HiCRI version. It's one of my personal favorites for outdoor stuff as it renders colors nicely and my wife uses it often for reading in the dark. The brightness levels of the H51Fc are quite nicely spaced...

    Building up my "Bug-Out" kit with new flashlights

    Good idea. Perhaps something like a small multitool would round it out nicely, like a Leatherman PS4 or Swiss Army Knife? :)

    Searching For a Light (High CRI, Thrower)

    I was trying this out late last night facing some greenery which was about 50m away. I think the W was about 3-4% better in throw vs the hcri. The hcri was about 5-8% better than the 219. Again, just my 2 cents without any proper measuring equipment. Hope this helps :)

    Searching For a Light (High CRI, Thrower)

    I just tried out my M61 modules and in my highly unscientific opinion, the best thrower of the bunch was the M61W, followed by the M61HCRI and then the M61 219. But in terms of having a beautiful tint, the 219 wins hands down :D

    Farm light

    I have 3 other comparable lights in the same class as the BA20 - the Klarux XT2A, Quark AA^2 in XPG and XML, both tactical interface. My favourite by far is the BA20, because of it's UI simplicity. The XPG on high gives a nice punch when needed, but I don't think you can compare it to a Hound...

    Farm light

    Jetbeam BA20 comes to mind. Simple interface, 2 modes only, uses 2 AA batteries. Xpg emitter is very bright with good throw and decent flood.

    HDS Systems EDC # 16

    I recently received my 140E. It's using a Golden Dragon and throws a nice creamy white beam. Am very happy with it. :)

    One Light, One Month—What will it be?

    Interesting question. I'd go with a Zebralight SC80W. Reasons: - Small, light and discreet form factor. - Power: Takes both CR123 and AA batteries. AA batteries can be purchased more or less anywhere (unless you are on a remote and deserted island). I'd take 2 Eneloops and a charger with...

    flashlight tasks and the lights that fill them

    I separate my lights into a few categories - floody (for general purpose), throw (for distance), Hi CRI (for better colour rendition) and moonlight (for extreme runtime). Some lights may fit into 2 or more of these categories, but I usually end up carrying one of each anyway :D Floody -...
