I lost my trusty Inova T1 about a week before deer season and am now looking for a replacement, but there are so many to choose from! I need some help...
I do have some pretty specific preferences though.
-Must be an LED light
-$100 or so max
-prefer a 2xCR123
-must be at least IPX7 water resistance, strongly prefer IXP8 to 2+ meters
-clicky on/off
-I'm flexible about UI
-for throw/flood I'll use this handy graph
Throw (distance)------------x---------|----------------------Flood/close-up
I want some pretty specific output settings. I need a 40-60 lumen level with good runtime and a 100-200lumen level. a superlow and/or super-high level would be nice, but not required.
I'm going to be using this light for hunting and possibly caving so it needs to be tough and reliable.

What about 4sevens Quark 123^2 Turbo,or Quark 123^2 Turbo X. I love the UI, you program the head tight mode and the head loose mode. It is fast and easy to do, so no problem if you want to change either of the modes. There are tougher lights out there, but 2 is 1, 1 is none. If you go this route you could get a small emergency backup like a Fenix E01 with the leftover funds.
EDIT: One of my hyperlinks was incorrect. Make sure you compare the runtimes/lumens. The Turbo X might suit your needs better.
