Budget: $100-150
Format: Handheld Flashlight
Size: Medium to large pocket carry, I have large hands
Emitter/Light Source: LED or Incandescent
Manufacturer: Out of the Box
Power Source: CR123 or better, larger capacity. Rechargeable is fine
If I go with a rechargeable flashlight, I'd prefer to have rechargeable batteries. Ports and prongs on flashlights seem to be one more thing that could defect in my opinion.
Genuine OTF light wanted/needed: Illuminate a field in a wooded area, with wild animals around. And, illuminating rugged trails in the area.
Wide Throw is maybe what I want? Is there an option that has the perfect balance of flood and throw?
Distance: Big open areas with wooded area, Behind my house is an open field.
Runtime I'm not too worried about as I would always have batteries ready to go (In the appropriate storage unit of course)
Durability: Rugged and something that doesn't feel like it's going to break. So Very Important.
Switch Size, Type and location: I'm not a fan of "twisty" mechanisms, I'm more familiar with Tailcap buttons. I have large hands
User Interface and Mode Selection: I'm not too familiar with and is there an option that I would want or is good to have? I had strobe on my Strion, never used it except to play with and show off to friends.
Material/Finish/Coating: Any metal that won't rust, I do like knurling or something with "grip" It''s personal preference I like that solid feel in my hand.
Water Resistance: Something that I don't have to worry about it malfunctioning in rain or snow.
Storage: Pocket/bag carry. Might throw it in my glove box from time to time.
Special Needs/Extras: Secondary filter but from what I understand they're not bright and significantly reduces light output. That would be an option just to play with.
But I would like a pocket/belt clip
Models I've looked at are the Olight M2 Warrior, Nitecore M10C, Nitcore P12GTS
I don't mind buying a light from a foreign country, since that's where all major electronics seem to come from. However I want quality just like everyone else.
