Greetings, I came over from assaultweb and Sigforum. i have around a 1100 post on AW and @ 500 on SigForum...I like surfing and posting !
My question is this..I currently own a SF nitrolon, 6p an Ultrastinger. I use all three at work. The stinger, while only a bit short of 3yrs old, has gone back for repairs 3x. The shipping now has just about added up to the cost of a new light. I am not having much luck w/their CS (no knocking them) but i am ready to upgrade.
I am trying to find a light that has a "normal" flashlight style body (i.e. maglite, or M4 length), has to be 12v Rechargeable (w/a cradle style charger pref.). After reading ALL 20+ pages on the 500 lumen scorpion and a little searching , it doesnt seem to be 100% yet. i know that throw and lumens are most important to me.
I have @ 500$ and i want something reliable, so far it is a 10x or maybe a borealis. i just wish the borealis did not have to remove the cradle to charge.
the light will be used for spotting people and critters in open fields and run time for me is usually 1-3 minutes total at a time.
i forgot to add. I have not had the best experiences w/ LED's. there color seems to distort the natural colors for me (i have a slight vison problem from the Marines). Although i did read about the Wiselled , i think, 1050 lumens ! What is the throw to this compared to me Ultrastinger?
My light usually only gets used for 30 mins at a time max. usually more like 1-5 total at a time. but i need one that recharges easliy in my car.
I will say the SF's CS has been superb for me over the years and i would like a product that has good cs.
any suggestions?
thanks, and im glad to be here !
