looking to buy a flood flash light

[Gallo 24]

im going camping in a couple weeks and I have a power on board hid spotlight which is plenty powerful enough for me to use as a spot light, but it lacks the ability to be a good flood light. I am looking for a flood light that has a decently wide field of light and emit at least 20ft infront of me, has to be easily pocketable and run of batteries vs rechargeable. All under 100 dollars. Can you guys point me in the right direction of a good flood flash light?

led lenser, p14, or p7

good lights, variable beam, AA batteries.

Zebralight. :thumbsup: AA, 123, 18650, warm or cool tint, three levels, I have a 501 that takes AA's, but will run on any AA sized battery that will fit. Alkaline, NiMH, Li-ion, great camping product. Flood beam is as nice as it gets, comes with a clip to attach to shirt/ pants, or use with headband. very versatile. I walk with mine clipped to my waist, or shirt collar, freeing up both hands.

Zebralight H31, good flood and with better throw than it's predecessor (because of the built-in reflector).

20ft may be pushing it a little with a 501. H31, H60 are a different story.

20 feet = 6.096 meter
H31 is definitely possible.

Headlamps are a good suggestion but if your also looking for a hand held light the Zebralight SC50 has a very wide flood but still has a bit of throw. Other floody lights would be the Quark R5 models and Fenix XP-G R4 models like the PD30 R4.

If the use is camping, and your already going for a SC50/30 I don't see any reason not get the headlamp versions. Flashlights make bad headlamps, but zebra headlamps make good flashlights.

Everyday I use my H501 around the house to cook, clean, read, and work hand-free. Oh yeah, it's great for camping too. No real throw though. The OP will have to look at a light with a reflector for that.

so from the looks of it, the p7 is pretty much the size and output I am looking for. I looked at the videos and that flood beam is really clean. It doesn't look as if the zebra lights are as powerful as the p7 (correct me if im wrong I havent found any good in use pics for the zebra lights). What are the main competitors with the p7 that can still throw a nice flood beam? Also whats the run time of the p7 on full power?

is the quark 123 clipless any good?

awesome this is pretty much what I was looking for but at a price I can't pass by. I just purchased a quark mini 123 and a rc-29 so I can use up the abundance of AA batteries I got from harbor freight. Hopefully both of these will be enough for me to have ample enough light on this camping trip. Thanks for the help guys.

Personally think You'll be just fine. You Got both awesome lights at a remarkable price. (flood and throw is nice on RC-29).:thumbsup:

A P60 host with a Nailbender P60 Cree XR-E drop-in module with the 60 degree (completly frosted) optic is nearly all flood with not much of a hotspot while still some directionality and distance to the beam unlike a bare emitter. You can get a 2AA P60 host from Solarforce or Dereelight if you don't like 18650 Li-Ion or CR123 batteries.

NB XR-E drop-in w/ 60 deg optic:

As a point of comparison...
