I just bought, from goinggear.com, a Klarus NT20 XP-G R5 2 CR123 LED Flashlightand that's what I was wanting an opinion on. Is this a good light for the price? Is it dependable etc... I'll be using it for work primarily as a security officer at a casino. I wanted something with multiple power level so it can be used for checkng bags and ID's in the night club as well as spotlighting guests when needed from a distance. It also needed to be pretty bright as the club is dark with multi colored lights and such typical of a dance club that need overpowered by my light to identify individuals and things like that. I will also be taking it to the field with me with the Army as I'm in the national guard so it needed to be sturdy and waterproof too. I found this light met my criteria and was about the brightest in the price range, wanted to spend around $50 or so and I also emailed goinggear.com and ended up getting a 10% discount code from them.
After I was pretty decided on this light I also asked goinggear about their opinion on what batteries to use with the light. What they reccommended matched reviews and comparisons I found around the internet so I bought 6 Surefire SF123A CR123 Batteries from them also, so I would get the 10% off on them also.
My question comes from the batteries, I had asked them also about using rechargable and was told this light cannot use them. So I looked on the internet and found many pages that listed lights that could and could not use rechargables. So I wanted to know what makes a light unable to use rechargable batteries?! I thought a battery was a battery, with reguards to output, just so long as the battery was the right size basically?! I didn't know rechargables were different in any way as far as output that would make them only usable in some applications?! So anyone have a good explanation as to why this is like this?
Sorry so long of a post! Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!!
