Hey guys,
Well, it's another "Noobie Asks A Question" thread!
My flashlight collection has gotten off to what appears to be an auspicious start. I have an aluminum GatLight V2 on order (pending confirmation from the LumenCraft guys) which I fully intend on being a mostly-EDC light. In the event that doesn't work out, or I just find myself with a need for another light, I'll be grabbing a Fenix L2T with a CR123 body once the Fenix-Store has them.
However, that leaves me with needing a light with some heft. A big, meaty, solid slab of LED that will light up the mountains like the hammer of Thor.
Well, maybe not quite that extreme.
But I do a lot of work on remote wireless communication towers, and sometimes it gets darker faster than I like, and those are times when I need a good, high-powered light. I think I'm looking for throw more than spill (although spill is good!), and a reasonably long runtime. Something maybe the size of my 3-D Mag that hangs out in my rig now.
Regulation would be preferable (which seems to rule a lot of Elektro-Lumens things out...), and I'd prefer a price somewhat less than 200 dollars, although I willingly pay for quality. Runtime is also important, although I'm thinking D cells probably feed Luxeons and Crees pretty handily?
Does anything like this exist out there in the wild, or am I going to be chasing the pipe dream?
Thanks in advance, CPF!
