Hi,
I really don't know anything about flashlights, but am looking for a high quality flashlight that I can carry in my pocket every day. I want something that has a sharp, extremely bright and clear beam and a long throw. I would prefer that the light have a pocket clip, but this is not 100% necessary I guess. I would also like the light to have a tail switch if possible. I'm thinking about getting an LED flashlight and a regular bulb style light for different uses. I don't really want to spend much more than $100.00. I love the ultra white light of an LED, but don't know if such a light will be appropriate for illumination over a long distance.
I was looking around at www.brightguy.com and noticed that a lot of lights are dual LED and regular bulb based. Should I just get one of these instead? Many of these models only have 3 LEDs and I'm not sure if that will provide enough light. Should I just get a separate LED light and a separated bulb light? Are there any LED lights that have the throw of a bulb style light?
What lights do you guys recommend that fit my criteria?
I have been considering the following:
Streamlight
TL-2 LED
Streamlight
2L Twin-Task
Streamlight
1L Twin-Task
Streamlight
3AA Twin-Task
Streamlight
3AA Luxeon Task-Light
Sure Fire
E2E-HA Executive Elite
Which light offers the best beam and brightness?
Thanks
