Newly Enlightened
Most of you are familiar with these 4 lights. From left to right is the Astrolux MF04 thrower. I live on top of the Continental Divide but so far south (6 miles north of the border with Mexico) that it is desert at only 4200' in elevation. The MF04 throws a beam over a mile and can really light up the eyes of the local coyotes. There isn't any light pollution in my area other than a faint glow of light to my east which is El Paso at 70 miles away. Yes it is dark in my desert.
Next light is the Electrolumen Big Bruiser good for 3000 lumens of flood.
The smallest flashlight is the Emisar D4 Quad, the wow factor light. Probably the smallest 3000 lumen light. Great light to show off to someone that is unaware of the outputs of small LED lights, like I said, a real wow factor. Unlike the Big Bruiser it won't hold 3000 lumens for more than 5 seconds and at 20 seconds it gets quite hot.
The last is a Nebo 400 Mycro keychain light and I use it 10 times more that the other 3 combined usage. Why, well for me at least it is that good. 400 lumens on high but a very useful 15 lumens on low with over 5 hours run time. The green LED gives plenty of light to walk with in my dark desert and has a 40 hour run time. Also has a 150 lumen setting along with a 50 lumen setting so it really covers all the bases. The main thing is how small it is with these outputs and run times. If I was limited to only one light it would be my keychain light.
