    Form factor vs praticality

    An update on my part: I think I am going the two light path. Convoy's L6 is just too tempting to pass up, although I know it's not at all what I was originally seeking. It will probably spend all of its time on its second lowest setting. I'm having a much harder time deciding on a 'floodier'...

    Form factor vs praticality

    I really appreciate all the replies. I should have come out and said something along the lines of "do you ever regret buying a large (2-4 18650/26650) light when you use it for long periods of time?" since that's the way I'm leaning right now. I just didn't want to steer the conversation one...

    Form factor vs praticality

    Thanks all for the replies. I've added all the flashlights everyone mentioned to my spreadsheet and will do my research on them. I live in a metro that's reasonably well lit, so I don't have a very strong need for a EDC light. It also helps that I don't have a dog to walk and work in a cubical...

    Form factor vs praticality

    I've been spending way too much time obsessing over what flashlight to get next and have come to the point where I need to start considering what form factors are practical for me. Right now I'm considering lights that are 1 x 18650/28650/26650, 2 x 18650 side by side and inline, 3 x 18650, and...

    Looking for a non-blinding flooder

    Self reply #2 since I've learned something. Total light output (ie lumens) does not have to result in a dazzling bright hot spot. If I want to know how dazzling the hotspot is, I should be looking at the hotspot's intensity (ie candelas or cd). Think of a fluorescent light (high total light...

    Looking for a non-blinding flooder

    Re: Looking for a "useable" flooder Self-reply. After talking to some other people, I'm considering the following, sorted by size: Fenix LD75C (600/200/40) pros: tons of battery life, nicely spaced brightness levels cons: somewhat throwy, expensive Nitecore TM06S (480/160/3) pros: tons of...

    Looking for a non-blinding flooder

    Hi All, I've owned a ThoreFire C8s since October of 2015. For the most part, I've been pretty happy with the light but now I want something a bit more floody. I typically use my C8s in mid (280 lumen) or low (30 lumen) while hiking/camping, working under my car, etc. I rarely use high (900) due...
