hello everyone,
This winter I will be working in northern Alberta running a peice of equipment hours from anywhere in the middle of the bush. It will be dark for a good portion of the day cause I am so far north and the machine will be working 24 hrs a day. It will be very cold (-60 C on occations) and in the fall and spring it will be wet. I need a light that I can use when there is a break down, or other emergencies like spotting awakend bears or anything else that will happen.. I have an HDS EDC 60 for small stuff so am looking for something powerful and tough. It will need to be able to shine through dumping snow and sleet. I would like the option of rechargable but able to use primaries without modification. A decent runtime would be good also. What should I get? I was thinking along the lines of Surefire considering all the m series. I would have to figure out how to change over to use rechargables and be able to switch back easily. good thought? Other options? Opinions? Thanks for your help. This is exciting for me (and it will be a tax write off!! guilt free)
