Your Opinion - BEST & BRIGHTEST single or double CR123 or single AA EDC Flashlight
Greetings! To all of the Lumen-Carrying folk on CPF, your input is greatly valued as always.
I'm beginning a search for the best all-around EDC. I own an SC600 and think it's a fine light. The size works, but something
even smaller would be great also. That being said, if I can get more lumens without sacrificing run-time, I'd go bigger as well.
Net/Net is I love the flood of the SC600 but wish it threw the beam further. Have been eyeballing the Thrunight TN10, 11, 12 as their beams look good, but it only seems as though you can get a decent run time if you double extend the light - so now we're talking about something not so small.
I have an RRT-3 Triple XML which is a GREAT light and is the one I pull out when I need some serious lumens, so I don't want another larger light.
In order of priority, I would list the wants as such with certainly some room to trade positions.
1. Size - 1 or 2 CR123's or AA ideally - Possibly 1x 18650 if the light performs really well.
2. Brightness - both in combination of flood & throw - But do want something that throws more than the SC600
3. Run-time - Want something that can be on hi for more than 30 minutes (not needed to be continuously) but something comparable to SC600 runtimes
Also, I know the shot show is in January - what is the timing for new lights to be released following the show? Perhaps I should wait? Perhaps I should look at a light that I get custom drop-ins? I would need some help with that as I've never gone that route. Thanks to all in advance.
