This is my first post to this forum. I have been a lurker for the last few days and decided to sign up. My question is this. I am looking for a light that will throw a good spot out to 150 to 200 yds. I will use this light only for when I run my dogs at night. I live out in the country and run them without a lead for excersise as they are 4 big dogs. For emergency purposes if a dog goes after a coyote or a deer and will not respond to my whistle I have a one million cp Max Spot Light but for general purposes when out with the dogs I would like something smaller to carry instead of lugging the spot light around. I was thinking about the US as I already own the SL Stinger XT/HP which is rated at 40,000 cp. I did talk to Greg at BG and he told me that the US would be 3 times brigher than the XT/HP with the 10 watt versus 6 watt bulb that is in the XT/HP. Does anyone have experience with the US? If so do you think it would serve my needs. Could I spot a dog say 200yds in the dead of night with the US. Keep in mind that all this talk of Hot Spots and Surround light I don't think is all that important for my application. I also would like to stay away from the SF line as I think in my own opinion of course are grossely over priced and most of them carry the wide beams instead of a adjustable spot/flood beam.
I did recently purchase the Twin Task 3C by SL and that is a work of art, really impressed with this light.
Thanks all for your help...
