1) How would you prefer to purchase the light?
Online, preferably Amazon
2) Budget: An easy question, but you may change your mind after answering the rest!
$100 and under prefered.
3) Format:
Flashlight
4) Size:
Small - Medium
5) Emitter/Light source:
LED?
6) Manufacturer:
Traditional Manufacturer
7) What power source do you want to use?
I intend to use Rechargeable cells based on less common formats (18500 or 18650 Li-Ion, RCR123, et-al).
7a) If you have selected a rechargeable option
Unsure
8) How much genuine out the front (OTF) light do you want/need? Sometimes you can have too much light (trying to read up close up with a 100 lumen light is not a happy experience).
300 Lumens +
9) Flood vs Throw: Flood covers an area, Throw reaches out to a distance.
Narrow flood - Narrow throw
9a) Distance: How far away will you typically need to see with this light (check all that apply)
10-50 yards
10) Runtime: Not over-inflated manufacturer runtime claims, but usable brightness measured from first activation to 50% with new batteries (Measured on maximum continuous output).
60-90 minutes
11) Durability/Usage: Generally the old phrase "you get what you pay for" is very accurate for flashlights.
Very important
12) Switch Size, Type, and location (choose all that apply):
Will be using gloves primarily with the light. Unsure.
13) User Interface (UI) and mode selection. Select all that apply.
1 or 2 outputs
14)Material/Finish/Coating
Not plastic
15) Water resistance
None - Minimal
16) Storage conditions
Preferably in car but can be in house if needed.
I am a UPS driver and have put off getting a new light for too long. Since the days are so short now and the people who order the most packages seem to not have house numbers, I need a new light. As stated above, under $100 and Amazon Prime eligible is a big plus.
I can answer more questions if needed, thanks in advance.
