Hello, my first post. But a long time reader.
I need a flashlight to hang off my turn signal stalk in my car...I am always losing things in the car at night.
I would really like a flood pattern without a bright hot center so I can see the whole front area of the car.
I really prefer a reverse clicky so I can get to a good level of output with one hand. Memory would be great.
I have looked at reviews with beam shots for the Thrunight 1A and T10, Fenix E12, and SOG Dark Energy DE-03. All have a bright center and I'm beginning to think all torches do. I have an Olight T-25 that also has a bright center but it gradually diminishes in brightness out to the spill or outer part. That would be OK if I can not find a real even flood beam, but the T-25 is too big to hang off the turn signal. There is already a large folding knife and Leatherman hanging off the tilt knob so no room for a 2AA light. I want to stay with AA, as I have a Powerex charger that can really keep my Eneloops in good condition. I also have a Fenix E-21 which has a small very bright hot spot and I don't think it would be good in the close confines of a car.
Thanks...
