Guys,
The more I read the more I am confused, there are just way too many good choices out there! I would like to know if you are looking for a new light, what are the MUST HAVE features/functions?
On top of:
1) led type, bin, tint
2) reflector size, type and depth
3) throw vs flood, spill
4) run-time
5) efficiency
I have listed down a few features/functions as follows:
1) battery type (AAA/AA/2xAA/CR123/2xCR123/14500/17670/18650)
2) head size, body size and length
3) no of modes (moonlight, lo, med, high, turbo, strobe, SOS, ramping)
4) tail cap battery lock-out
5) type of switch (clicky (forward/reverse/memory), twist, PD, side switch)
6) pocket clip
7) type of body finish
With the number of features and their different combinations here, I feel that I am really lost here! Am I over analyzing it? How do you prioritize which features to have? By the way, I am looking for a light that is more or less the same size as a Maglite AA.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
