Hi, I'm John.
I stumbled onto flashlight specs just recently when looking for a quality light for home defense and emergency uses. Really had no idea as to the wide array of differences in flashlights. We have a few general cheap flashlights (incandescent and LED), but now I am looking for quality for a few different purposes. I don't require the "best and the brightest" just functional, built well, and relatively cost-effective. Here is what I am shopping for:
1) Practically bright NiMH or Li-Ion lights to keep at my bedside, wife's bedside, as well as at my children's bedsides. Click on/off. Strobe capable. This would be for power outages as well as defense. I assume these lights can use both NiMh and Li-Ion?
2) Best balance of lumens/longevity/size for my EDC bag
3) Best way to light a room during power outages
4) Best light for use in car (disabled at night)
I'm overwhelmed with all of the considerations, so any advice would help. Thanks in advance!
