Hey all, I'm just after some suggestions for a lighting implement, I'm sort of new to the world of really bright torches. I only discovered Candle Power Forums a couple months ago. Basically about two years ago when I procured a G2Z Surefire (WOW!!! small, light and incredibly bright) did my opinion that Mag Lites were the ultimate lighting tool, change...for the better.
I had since upgraded to an original Lumapower MRV, which in my opinion is much better...brighter, longer run time and (to me) excellent throw (it has taken a pretty good beating and never failed. Suffice to say though since I have been on here I've discovered a good few torches that I could easily want and didn't know existed - which leads to my questions.
For now I'm trying to toss up between three lights, a Fenix TK10/11, Jetbeam RRT-1 or a Lumapower MRV SK. Good throw with reasonable side spill are important, it'll be used in varying weather conditions. I like the Fenix and Jetbeam for the simple interfaces.
Second part (has me clueless) is a complementary light with good spaced outputs a fairly low output level. Flood would be good....be it with a diffuser, adjustable focus...as long as I can get a decent flood beam. Same as above varying weather conditions.
I'm a member of the emergency services and attend land searches, rescues, road accidents, storms and floods. The land around here is a combination of rural, suburban and we have a large state forest/national park.
Sorry if this was a little long. I appreciate any input and other suggestions. Thank you in advance.
