Hi, I have some issues regarding these topics:
-4AA flashlight with a "floody" beam
-EDC flashlights
-----
I read a post awhile back that said the focusing systems on LED Lenser flashlights are a gimmick and that fixed designs are superior because they don't lose light output. Is this true? I sort of like being able to focus the beam, but if it comes at the cost of light, maybe not. LED Lensers seem to have nice beams that focus without having a hole in the center, but I've never used anything produced by them except a UFO keychain light.
What are some comparable lights?
-----
I'm considering the 4Sevens Quark MiNiX 123. This light is supposed to have 210 OTF lumens, but I'm wondering if the Fenix E15's 140 ANSI lumens are just as good or better? This light will probably go on a keychain, so a AAA light may be a better choice, but since I already have a AAA EDC I'd like to try a 3V one.
-----
I would appreciate any advice!
