So, at the end of July I am doing an all night canoe race and need a really bright, waterproof, light weight light. I am looking at NOCTIGON 4*18650 METEOR M43 from http://intl-outdoor.com/noctigon-418650-meteor-m43-p-864.html they have a number of bulb options and I'm not sure what to get or if I should get something else entirely.
The light will be running around 8 hours straight. It needs to be efficient and solid when running at whatever output (~500-700 lumens?) over 8 hours.
It needs to not burn out overheat or anything light that. it could get smacked or take a dunking and will be sprinkled with water constantly.
A 4 cell 18650 light seems to me to have the right brightness/weight ratios. Flashlights seem to be a better package than bike lights. More waterproof, and everything is packaged in one place in case I need to mess with something I can easier but I could consider other options.
Any recommendations or input?
