Hi, all!
I haven't been on here for several years, but the last time I was on here I got such great advice that I came back for some more.
My previous flashlight, an Olight MX3 Triton just quit working. I inserted my freshly-charged batteries and the light will no longer turn on. It was always finicky in that you had to have the handle tightened just right to get everything to work, and it won't turn on anymore regardless of how the handle is put on. So, not being a flashlight expert by any means, and being spoiled by how awesome my Olight was (other than having to turn the handle just right to get it to work and the fact that there is no way to get a hold of Olight for customer service) I was wondering if any of you in the know could recommend me a flashlight with similar or better throw than my Olight had. I went back and looked up the specs on it, which were 1200 LM and a throw of 580m. I have been looking up lights and reading forums, but it seems like there isn't much consensus. I already have the 18650 batteries, so I would like to stay with something that uses those. Lastly, I'd like to stay under $250.
Any advice for an out-of-the-loop guy in need of an awesome long-throw flashlight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
