Always get 3 lights, for backup and different usage
Economic choice w/ fenix and 47
Acceptable price with nice capability, like IPX8 waterproof, tolerance from damage
(If i could ever afford it, surefire would be my priority)
-Spotlight/Searchlight(High-intensity, something 600-800lm+)
Fenix TK40 or TK45
-Medium-intensity light, normal usage(100-350lm)
Quark AA
-Dim light, personal care/night vision preserving/"power saving[if you use led]" (Below 100lm)
SF E1,E2(25lm bulb) personally i think warm colour works better, less harsh to the eyes, also 100-CRI allows best inspection in color
Shelf-life(battery) is also an important issue for "grab and run kits"
You will never want to look for replacement battery when disaster comes
Even though I dont want to get involved in the "CR123A and AA availabiltity and price" discussion
But i am still gonna make some comments
Personally i dont want to use lithium AA as (I think) they are wallet-killer,
but if you treat it as an one-time-investment, 8*AA in the torch, ready-to-use for 10-15 years
It would be acceptable, you never know when a disaster strikes.
At least you wont have to be busy about finding batteries
*Beware of the higher voltage of AA-Li, they have 1.8-1.9 somehow*
Also, its good to stick some fluorescent tape on the torch, theres 1 with waterproof ability
You might want to look into a local store
Better purchase some spare battery carrier for lights which require em, if you lose/damage it,
congratz, you laid off your light:thumbsup:
