Upgrade nervosa is setting in. This site always costs me money, lol.
The SR52vn I bought several years ago is a great light and tends to be the go-to light for everyone in the house. But, it's big in the hand, particularly when wrestling my pit bull on long walks at night. Checking in here and looking for something a little smaller and brighter (just cuz), at first glance the Fenix TK35UE, the Fenix UC52, and the Olight R50 have jumped out at me. I like the reviews I've read of the TK35UE and its throw, but not sure it's the reduction in size I'm looking for or not (though it's far from that beer-can feel of the SR52).
What other lights should I be considering in the family of 1,000+ lumen lights that also offer ease-of-charging? I like the micro-usb aspect of my SR52vn, but the slide out battery holder with a built-in micro-usb port such as found in the TK35UE is fine, too. I'm not looking for lights where I have to pop the batteries out and drop them into a separate charger (which I have ((Nitecore)), but it's just more hassle than I'm used to these days).
