1) How would you prefer to purchase the light?
I will be mail-ordering or buying online, so this doesn't matter.
But delivery time must be less than two weeks to Finland.
2) Budget: An easy question, but you may change your mind after answering the rest! :-)
Less than $100.
Doesn't (necessarily) include the battery cells.
3) Format:
I want a flashlight.
4) Flashlight-specific format/size:
I don't care
5) Emitter/Light source:
LED
6) Manufacturer:
I don't care
7) What battery type do you want to use?
I intend to use rechargeable lithium (li-ion) chemistry. Preferably 18650
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 impossible).
I want to walk around an unlit rural area (50-150 lumens).
I also need a feature to cast ~500-1000 lumens for a short period of time.
9) Throw vs. Flood: At what distance will you be most likely to use this light? Select all that apply.
Low mode for ~5-20 meters flood., high mode for 50-100 meters flood.
10) Runtime: Not over-inflated manufacturer runtime claims, but usable brightness measured from first activation to 50% with new batteries (Measured on maximum output).
Low mode at least 8 hours, high mode 15 minutes is enough.
11) Durability/Usage: Generally the old phrase "you get what you pay for" is very accurate for flashlights.
Important (Camping, Backpacking, Car Glove-box).
12) Switch Type and location (choose all that apply):
I don't care.
13) User Interface (UI) and mode selection. Select all that apply.
I want 2 light levels. (Brighter/short runtime and Dimmer/long runtime.)
or
I want multiple light levels. (Some lights have 5-16 light levels.)
14)Material/Finish/Coating
I don't care. Reasonable durability is expected but it wont be used as a hammer. Level of water resistancy is a bonus.
The light will be used to provide light for general night time activities including but not limited to doing woodwork or building things, building tents, walking in woods, cooking and so on. Anything a normal camper or a mad scientist could come up with.
