I'm thinking about getting a bump in the night light. I already have an A2 which handles most of my needs, but I'm thinking a brighter incan that I can use both inside as well as outside will make a welcome addition.
Being partial to SF, the M3 looks good, and a search here has given positive feedback on the light. I tried out the light at a local store and found it well-balanced and good fitting in the hand. I didn't like the C3.
Looking at lumens and run time however, I could go with a M6. Either the MN20 (250 lumens for 60 minutes) or the MN15 (125 lumens for 2.5 hours) would beat the M3 for the same number of batteries used (2x3 for the M3). Tradeoff is a beefier and more expensive light.
Another option would be either a 6P w/extender and P90 or a 9P.
Staying with SF for now, what would you recommend? I'm talking about bright enough to light up most of a room inside the house (should have good spill) and enough throw outside to clearly illuminate an object 50-75 yards away. It should be noticeably brighter than the A2. Because it would be an occasional light, sticking with primaries is fine.
