Hi everyone.
I'm looking to grab a few flashlights just to keep around (mostly for extended power outages, emergencies, etc). Won't be using them on a regular basis probably, except maybe a small keychain light.
I've looked at a few models but first what I'm trying to do is figure out what I should get. I'm thinking a) a small keychain light and a couple of mid-high powered, or b) instead of mid-high get a few mid powered and one more expensive high powered.
Just wondering what recommendations I could get? Along with maybe some categorizations, as I'm not too familiar with lumen ratings etc (I hear they are different based on manufacturer).
Model's ive looked at:
1. dorcy 41-4750 (180 lumens, $20 or so)
2. fenix e01/e05
3. fenix tk41
4. fenix ld20
5. itp a3 eos
the fenix lights seem to be more expensive than others if you go by lumen rating, but i've found a few with comparable ratings on amazon at much better prices. the dorcy seems to be a really good deal at 180 lumens and has great reviews but i cant seem to find any comparison reviews elsewhere online.
