Recommend a general purpose LED please?

[Uncle Alvah]

My most used flashlight is probably a PrinctonTec Attitude.

I had a Surefire TwinTask,(3-c cell) which was a nice light, but I was a bit disappointed in the cast of the incandescent on it. Also worth mentioning that it got stolen.:scowl:

I've considered replacing it with the same unit, but am also considering that perhaps I should simply go to a similar light that is just LED. I can live without a great deal of cast, as I found that I was almost always using the TwinTask in one of the LED modes.

I would appreciate suggestiions for a similar size, 2 or 3 C cell LED light.
Thanks!

Unc: consider the Streamlight 3C Propolymer Luxeon, or its 4AA sibling. 5+ hours of non-declining output, nice throw and spill, durable, not spendy. Well regarded.

You can also try the Ledbeam. I bought 12 as presents last year...a great and powerful light. http://www.ledbeam.com/

How about a 2 or 3 C cell Maglite LED, or, even better, a 3 C cell Maglite with the new Terralux Seoul drop-in?

How about a 3aa flashlight? The Gerber LX 3.0 is an excellent general purpose flashlight. I've reviewed it HERE.

The esteemed powernoodle comes close to the ideal light with his suggestion of the SL PP 3C Lux.

However, he failed to take into account that the SL PP 3C Lux is a known as a throw light, with a very intense hotspot that makes it problematic for use up close.

Instead, consider its sibling light, the SL PP 3C Led:

Not a great deal of cast, as you say, but lots of floody light for close to medium distance use.

Very practical, very tough light at a reasonable price.

except for Your "C-cell" the Fenix L2D-CE is the only flashlight for such a task

why bother with a larger, bulkier light if not needed?
