Certain Kind Of Light

[FlashingLights]

Im Looking for a Flashlight that can emit light for quite some distance without being tooo bright from the actual flashlight. I know one exists, I just can't find it online.

1$ plastic light?

A dead stock Maglite does this - it uses a mediocre bulb in a big, deep reflector that has no problem getting big throw numbers (Lux) while getting lousy output numbers (Lumens).

One of those "one million candlepower" handheld lamps?

yeah I have to guess something with either an optic or an aspherical.

:shrug: I've been witness to some vague "what light" threads but this one wins I think.

I highly recommend the Husky 4 Watt 200 lumen 2D Tactical LED flashlight $25 from Home Depot. It has amazing throw and an effective beam up to 500 yards in a very dark area, yet its spill is not nearly as bright or blinding as a spotlight.

I find it to feel good in the hand, easy to carry, and not too heavy.

I am very impressed with my Husky. I own many other LED flashlights and feel it blows them all away. I have posted some beamshots of it on this page.
