Northern Lights
Flashlight Enthusiast
Recently I obtained a bicycle headlight that is also worn on a head band, a real "head light". It is running a cree xml t6 at 1200 lumens, they say.
I believe it as it puts to shame all my P7's, some DIY and others are Chinese, three on @50mm reflectors and one is even a tri-p7 on a Nuwai TM-800x3.

So now I see two tri-xml t6's that are on twoi 18650s wdhich limits run time and those lights are sold by DX. They rate them 3000 lumes.
My HID N30 rated in the 3k lumen area is a spot and is useless up close and needs a difuser. The multi LED heads by nature are flood, area, lights.
I see the 3000 lumen flashlights more useful to me than spot lights at the same lumen output as I need light close, not a mile down the road.
I wonder if these new tri-xml's will fit the bill of a floody spot light?
