I realise this has probably been asked a million times, and I apologise in advance for not taking the time to read through all the other posts, but as it turns out, I'm in a hurry…
I wasn't planning to buy a new torch anytime soon as I've just got back from an overseas holiday, but turns out my mate is going for a night bushwalk up a mountain in a few weeks which I'll probably go on, so I've decided I'd like a new torch by then, because I lost my old torch.
I had a Fenix L1D (and several earlier Fenix which I have given away now), which I accidentally left behind in Africa.
So my question is, what is the best torch to get in the $100 or less kind of price range? Are the Fenix ones still good?
Basically, I want a new EDC – I want the brightest torch I can get… but which also has a long-lasting mode… and that runs on a single AA battery (I already have to carry a stack of AA's for camera flash, it's not worth carrying extra LiON's unless there's a really, really good reason why I should). What are people buying that fits that criteria now?
