Please forgive my noob incandescent question.
Last few nights I've been on an incandescent kick, I pulled out my 2D and 3D Maglites and some plastic cheapies from around the house. I'm surprisingly pleased with the tint of these and now I'm wanting more. The Maglite beam shape is pretty "unique" compared to the smooth LED beams, so it got me thinking if a nicer incan light like a Surefire might have a nicer beam.
Also, these old lights have incredibly loud clicking switches. I'd like to get a nicer incan light for indoor use, with a nicer beam shape and a quieter switch. Is there an iconic, high quality incan light known for a good looking beam, with a quiet switch as a secondary consideration?
So far, I've started looking for 3xcr123 lights like the 9P, G3 and C3, thinking that I'd like the option of running these with 2xAA and a Malkoff M61LL in the future, should I need it, or find that the incan lights just aren't my thing (I'm willing to explore them some some, but would like to keep my options open). Any others I should consider? Even if it's a dedicated incan light, what's a nice one? Prob looking to spend under $100.
Thank you all.
