Looking for a floody 1x123

[crocodilo]

As per title, I'm looking for something for indoor use and close work, either multimode or single. Long runtime, good floody beam, small size, reliable. Use intended is to complement a Surefire E2DL in EDC.

Don't bother suggesting Fenixes, EX10 or Bitz, I already have (and love) those. The Surefire optics are also out (also have my fair share of those).

Pricing around $100. Looking for solid quality, neither boutique lights nor bargain basement.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Try to catch one of those.

Exactly what you described... awesome light... now, if I could just find where mine is I would be good.

Dupe post because of server error.

Peak McKinley, or possibly another model.
Call Peak at 877-881-7325 (toll-free). Their website is not that informative, but they are great on the phone. One reason for this is that there are a lot of choices that can be made with each model if you wish. Runtime, brightness, tint and materials [hard-ano, brass, stainless, Ti] among others.

Lumapower LM33 meets your requirements and can be powered with a primary CR123 or with an RCR123: link

You can even find it here in Europe at a good price (€ 30 shipped): link

The 100 lumen model of the RA Twisty is probably a nice compliment to an E2DL. I just need to find some beamshots of it!

People, your replies are very much appreciated, I will look into them. :twothumbs

But...

-Novatac - never had one, but got the impression that it's body is much wider than the E2DL, and that may pose a problem for me. I can do wide, I can do tall, I cannot do both.

-Zebralight - dang, forgot to mention that one... Already have one, great light BTW, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I want mostly flood, not all flood.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

I've never had any trouble making an existing light more floody -- there are a number of materials you can put in front to diffuse the light. I've put Scotch "Magic" tape (matte finish) over the lens of several lights for this purpose(*) -- it works great, and is easily removed if needed. Light loss is an insignificant 15% or so.

(*) P1D modified with SSC emitter -- with tape it'll light up a whole camp site at once; an EOS headlamp modified with SSC emitter -- with tape it's great for reading and hiking, otherwise too spotty; and an Arc AAA red I use for reading charts etc. when night flying.

I'll second the LM33, a great little light.

I have a Zebalight that is pure flood....I prefer an Amilite T5, as it is floody yet bright with two levels/fits nicely in pocket.

Piercelight M10w or M10i.

Not made anymore but fits your criteria perfectly. Uses Lux III, 2 selectable power levels, quoted at 80 lumens on high, 2 hour run time on low. With the wide optic, it produces a beautiful even flood of light, perfect for indoors or working in tight spaces.

You might be able to pick one up in B/S/T but it won't be mine... I like it too much.

Jeffb - good call on the Amilite T5, I forgot about that one. The nicest beam I've seen on a single emitter 1x123.

+1 on the Amilite T5. Mine has a perfect beam. It's brightest in the middle, but has no true hotspot. You could drown in the flood.

The Novatacs are wide, but not tall. I have a 120P model. Very floody light.

Lighthound.com has the 85 and 85T models in stock, for $100.
