OK guys, I'm not a flashlight guy per se. I've had 3 in my adult life, the P12, PD35 and a AAA Maratac (in copper, of course)
Anyway, the CR123 batteries that came with the PD35 finally died and I tossed in my 18650 I was using in the POS Nitecore and to me, the light seems dimmer now. Should I stick with CR123's, find me a rechargeable version perhaps, or is this all in my head and I should shut up? The 18650s are 2400 and 2500mah and the CRs were Energizer Lithiums for reference.
Second thing, I liked the finger ring on the P12 but even tho the PD35 is almost the same thing, it wont fit on there. Is there another flashlight close to 1k lumen (or better) that can be easily carried I should look into, (even better if under $100)
