Good people.
I asked this question in another thread, but it was off topic, so I'm starting a thread to ask for help.
Sometimes, I'd like to be able to make suggestion to folks on lights they can buy right now, not from the fenix-store or DX, but from Target, Wally World, Home Depot, etc.
I want them to see what owning a quality flashlight is like. But I don't always know what to recommend. When I was at the stage in flashlights, the Target-class lights that got me started were the Inova X5 and X1 and the Dorcy Super 1W. But I know those lights have grown long in the tooth while I spent time keeping up with pricier lights.
I know that some of the lights there now are a lot better. But I don't know which ones are the best buys. I haven't followed all the reviews of these lights lately. My interest has been in the much more expensive stuff for a while.
So, everybody, can I get some tips?
To my thinking, the first indicator of quality is good regulation. But I can't name three or four good, bright lights that would fit the bill.
Is there a bessiebenny's (or somebody's) roundup of lights at Target?
Or else, if folks want to make a few recommendations, I'd appreciate it.
