Most lights i see with a lens seem to be cheap chinese knockoffs, and then the ones that look GOOD, are not specked out for people who still want a usable flood (do any of those chinese lights have good regulated circuits, and just because they share the same body and factory, are they much different internally that i should pay more for one brand than another?). Dereelight for example, tells us the KCD output of their lights, but it will not tell us the lumen output, or the widest beam angle in flood mode. From what i've read from reviews here (and no one seems to have reviewed the light as a possible all purpose light), the maximum flood angle isn't very usable for a guy who only needs it for a "somewhat lousy mountain bike headlamp". I don't need the PERFECT mountain bike light mind you, I just want a very good lens light that makes a flood beam which is merely acceptable for use as a bike light mounted to my bike. I want everything the dereelight IS, so long as it can achieve at least a 60 degree beam angle. The reviews and descriptions, and the specs offered for this light so far are one big :fail:. Apparently, the only people who bought them, desire them for one purpose, and that's what they are good for "throw". However, reading about the pills in their lights, and the optional bulbs they use, it appears some of their lights are 300 lumens, and some are possibly 700.
Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I prefer throw and will use it more than flood (for fun), but i NEED flood, and i only intend to own one light in my life. I desire a light with a lens as well (tight beam). So, something that's as close to an all purpose light, with a lens, and as bright as some of the brightest single bulb lights available.
This may seem as a post which belongs in light recommendations, but this really ought to be a discussion, because when i search the forum for "spot to throw" I didn't find anything that quite matches up to this exact topic. Furthermore, many people don't even know about the dereelight as it is far superior to most pocket sized throws, for people who go to the recommendation forum asking just that. You flashlight enthusiast really need to search into the world of hunting lights, and make reviews based on the fact that they are still just flashlights when you put a regular LED inside of them.
