Re: Search & Rescue lots of throw, with decent flood capability?
My guess, in general, people are wanting what has yet to be created and don't want to settle for lights that have been created. My apologies for the negative response. Within reason, every light has it's positives and every light has it's shortcomings. I understand, it's hard to wrap one's think around this point as hope springs eternal.
In my opinion, so much of flashlights and opinion is tied directly to personal experience. Me? I dealt with my opinion, like many here, by morphing into a guy of many flashlights. And then to assure me of buying more, enters CREE's efforts to create more and better LEDs and then manufactures continue pumping out new lights with better drivers which take advantage of the better LEDs that CREE insists on creating and selling.
An example. Looky here, see how my light fills the car with light. Why that's nothing, see how my light fills the parking lot up with light. Why you guys got ripped. See how my light lights up a football stadium. Yeah, well check out this light, see how I can light the whole of the hillside, all the way across the lake. And it won't stop until someone figures out how to point a light that burns a hole in their back after going all the way around the world.
It becomes a sort of vicious cycle. Some do well with it and other do poorly with this circle of light. I do well with it, my wife does poorly with what I do well with; spending money. But we're married and the beat goes on.
