Thank you Charles for the additional information - that's very helpful. The Storm and Revolt have similar throw claims on the BD website - despite different claimed output. I have an older Revolt, and IIRC it was advertised at 120 lumen max output. So I was hoping that the Wizard at 185 OTF lumens would give me close to the same throw as my old Revolt. Too bad about the BD lights too - they're very nice for the price, but the PWM and the interface are annoying.
I did look at the Zebralight H600w and the many good reviews they get, but they can't run on CR123 batteries and that is a deal breaker for me. For SAR I run my lights on rechargeable batteries, and carry primary batteries as back-up. I also tried to look at the Spark lights, but I simply gave up on their website
So for now I think the Wizard is still the top contender.
