It's time to upgrade my Magcharger and Ultrastinger.
We live on acreage in the country and often (almost nightly, it seems) have need to illuminate things at distance - 100 yds/meters at a minimum. The MC and US just barely do the job (both are stock and focused for maximum throw) and I think LEDs are now to the point that I could replaces these with something newer (and, in the case of the Mag, lighter!)
What I'd like is an LED light (need instant on, so no HID) with a hotspot that is BOTH wider and brighter at >100yds than the Mag or Streamlight. I'd also like to do it for under $150 if possible.
I need direct comparisons to the well-known lights I already own so that I can make a good decision. Thanks!
