Hi- I have a forty day cross country walk in the offing - It will probably be possible to buy a new battery every few days.
I would like something lightweight, dim enough to not disturb people sleeping in bunkhouses, and bright enough to walk on tracks with before dawn.
____Less than £40.
____I prefer a flashlight as a headtorch will clash with my hat.
____Every day carry small <100mm < 100 grams
____I want to buy off the peg
____I intend to use alkaline (AA) but I am open to other options,
____I want to navigate a dark room
____I want to read a map
____Bright is okay if it doesn't automatically switch on bright
____I need dim, dull and adequate to walk with light levels.
____I want to walk around an unlit rural area
____Beam - 20 meters is plenty
____3 hours + 24 would be much better
____A simple switch
____I don't mind what it is made of low weight is important
This is a pilgrimage -If it doesn't have some militaristic tactical kill-zone offensive capability destroyer type name I would see that as a bonus
Thanks for your time
