Howdy folks,

I'm staying at a rainforest lodge in Costa Rica and I'm trying to help the owner choose a light to bulk purchase to loan to guests. He has a strong preference for neutral/warm and would prefer a cradle or plug-in rechargeable unit to limit maintenance concerns related to untrained staff members dealing with loose cells, threads, cleaning, lubing, etc. Anything over 150 lumens should be fine, with runtime on high of 1.5 hours or more. Medium-wide beam to spot is ok; very wide flood will not work. A physically larger light is an advantage here, so guests won't accidentally leave the thing in their pockets when they leave!

I have an ITP R01 which is perfect except for the cool white LED.

I appreciate the help!

Thanks,

MC
 
Maybe the pelican 7060 could work ok. I have the 8060 and it is very well built but maybe to big. Runtime is 6 hours on the 8060 and not shure about the 7060 but should be more than 2 hr.

This one looks good but I can't find an option for neutral/warm for the Pelican 7060. Do you think that light has a neutral/warm option?

Thanks,

I can't remember any cradle charging lights with neutral/warm white LEDs. Depending on how many lights you need, maybe you can contact a flashlight company directly and ask them if they can do a warm/neutral white run of lights?
 
Does it have to be LED? What about a MagCharger?

240 Lumens, runs for 2 hours on High, larger, has a cradle(ish) design, plug in simplicity, warmer/neutral tint, adjustable beam...seems to fit the bill?

I suspect he might have ran into a flashaholic. Poor owner. Hmm..neutral tint and large to not walk away... The Fenix TK-50 is a 2 "D' sized light...not likely to walk away unknowingly. But the tint might be a downer. Surprisingly tough to advise on this one...hmm...
