Ya it's hard getting into new lights when you think 40 lumens is all you need most of the time. The 200 lumens from my dimmest maglite is a tonThis is me 100%

🤷 someone in a recent post told me to get over myself and that they "need" over 2000 lumens regularly. Each to their own. That's why we have a forum I guess. I don't begrudge others wanting a wow light. It's not for me. I like lighting up the object but keeping my peripheral adapted. I find the old wall of lights to be counterintuitive to focusing on an object. I don't mind sweeping my light. This morning I discovered a60 lumens used to be a tactical amount when your life was on the line so why do I need 3000?
Well, with my near zero night vision, 1000 lumens to me is dim, or just doable.

de-focused Maglite ml25it with the stock 30 lumen bulb was quite nice for spotting dog crap while not blinding my 4:30am eyes.
But ya I gave up trying to keep up with the newest and greatest LEDs. And they keep getting higher output and floodier. My favorite led light has an xpe in it! I do like my little convoy s2+ I got a couple years ago though. Max 400 lumens with 95 cri and good throw from the sst-20. Usually use it in 40 lumen mode. Probably only been charged twice with such hard usage!
Got into flashlights a number of years ago. Got way more then I needed, got bored. Hadn't bought anything new for years. Then my favorite brand (Olight) started making some different choices and that drew me back in. Still have more lights than I will ever need. But, it's fun.
I liked them when I was a kid.Ever noticed how kids loves flashlights? There is a reason. Flashlights are neat.
