Wanted: FLOOD/AREA LED

[BugLightGeek]

I'm wondering what's available as a Flood or Area light with some kind of LED.
Specifically, something small. I have one of those River Rock 4AA LED lanterns but it doesn't put out enough light to read by.

Ideas?
Suggestions?

The Inova X1 w/reflector is very floody, <4in x <3/4 in, takes 1AA (1AAA works just as well) and it's very solid. Not sure of the lumens from this version.

Makita ML123 Fluorescent Light is an excellent flood light.

Try Streamlight Propolymar 7 LED version. Gives out floody light and it is bright, runs a long time on 4AA batteries and life time warranty.

You could pick up 1 for about 20 bucks.

SF L4 or L2 are great flooders.

There is a 2AA version, a 2D version, and a 2AA Headlamp. beam patern is like a rectangle on its side. Very floody.

I hadn't thought about that one since I thought all the new Inova's had that special optic for more throw and NO spill.

Makita ML123 Fluorescent Light is an excellent flood light.

Will that light take special batteries or require other Makita parts to make it work or charge it?

I've got 1 of those, the older model, but was hoping for something a bit smaller...

I forgot about the L4! Too bad I sold mine a while back That might do quite nicely with a 2-stage tailcap.

I remember seeing those in Wal-Mart quite a while back. Haven't seen it in quite a while though. Anyone seen these recently?

How about something like this? We also have a 48 LED version not yet listed:

You might try the Nuwai TM-301X 5W Luxeon 5 watt LED Flashlight. It is very compact and fairly cheap for a good quality light. It uses two CR123 primaries or rechargables. The tailswitch can be easily modded to give two levels and you can make the low as low as you want.

Who would I talk to about modding the tailswitch?

Do you want a 90 degree or 360 degree pattern....flashlight or lantern?

Nobody's mentioned the Inova X5 yet? Very floody.

The two stage switch mod is the same as the Nuwai Q3.

The description is in this thread.

The parts can be ordered from this thread.
See post #88, #92, and #98.

Probably around 90 degrees...and definately one of each!
What kind of CPF'er would I be if I just picked one?
