Do you need throw to check the horses?
I don't know what would really scare a horse. I know that the Nuwai probably throws less than 80lm out the front.
Go buy a
Streamlight ProPolymer 4AA Lux. Long runtime with great throw. It is a luxeon, but there is not a Cree or SSC light that rivals the Poly when it comes to throw and price (don't forget about the warranty and runtime). Then again, if you want to spend $$ then there are hella options.
Just found something funny. Click
here to check out this Nuwai light. Scroll down to see some stats. This light is stated at having at 75lumen output. Below that there is a link to a FlashlightReviews review of this light(
here). OK, so you go to FlashlightReviews and you notice, at the bottom, this Nuwai has a lux rating of 2,720 (beam center) at high and the overall output is 3000.
Now go back to that Poly review. The lux rating (beam center) is 3,000, and the overall output is 2350.
Poly = more throw (higher lux)
Nuwai = more output
All of a sudden a 75lumen and 40lumen light are very similar in the grand scheme of things. I am not saying that the Nuwai isn't brighter. It is just good to know that those extra lumens aren't always the cats arse.
BTW, I don't know if this is the same light Nightbeam was interested in.
