Hello,
The only light I own right now is a tiny little penlight, but I've used Maglites in the past (3 D's, I think), and they've gone pretty far. I don't need to amass a whole collection of flashlights, but I'd like to get at least two and possibly three. I don't have any real brand knowledge or preferences.
For the first, I'd like a beam that goes forever. It doesn't have to be wide, just provide light from as far away as possible.
Next, I'd like a very wide beam. It doesn't have to go far, just light up a good sized room with a very wide beam.
Finally, I'd like an in-between one. Good wide coverage, but good penetrating power as well.
I know nothing about flashlights, but I want to buy good ones from the beginning so I don't waste my time and money on crap I'll want to replace later. What models would you recommend, and what price ranges would I be looking at?
Thanks a lot for any help or suggestions you can provide.
Chris
