New user needs help with deciding between...

[bigge8882]

Hi all thanks for having an awesome forum. I need help deciding between 3 led lights first is stream light protac hl I like it because streamlight is quality and the light is 600 lumens small in size bit short run time.second option is fenix tk 60 I like it because I think it is 800 lumens and longer runtime but it is huge in size and doesn't have focus beam. Third is the coast HP 17 I like it cause it focuses but dislike the size and the brand I haven't seen a whole lot of coast flashlights around and do not know much about it as far as quality. Please help me folks. The wife says I can get a new light with tax check. ( i have light addiction) lol any input appreciated.

These are very different lights and by no means the best in there respective fields. The prices are everywhere as well, there are better lights to be had in the more expensive range rather than the TK60 and the streamlight is nothing more than a P60 module. Not sure what you are looking for, but take a look at the Thrunite website and the TN12 instead of the Streamlight it is a lot better and much brighter. The Blackshadow Fire is amazing at a little more than $100 as well, but not sure how you would feel about that. Have you taken a look at the OSTS website? The throw lights will be blown away by the lights that he puts together, and you would be supporting one of your fellow flashaholics. You could also take a look around the CPF marketplace as well, but between the 3 I like the Coast. That being said I can replace any component on any light on the market, so I don't really care about QC, if that is not your pot of tea then you might want to go for the Streamlight. I would recommend the NCR18650B battery as well as they are an excellent cell and typically pretty cheap. Good luck, and Welcome to the place that will take all your money, and time. :welcome:
