Hi
I know this question has probably been asked before but I am an l.e.o and am looking for a good light for work.I have a rechargeable spotlight that claims 3.5 million candle power from practical tests it willthrow for about .25 of a mile and spill for about 25-30 feet.I was previously about to buy a fenix l2t and a rechargeable for home use but a financial disaster put paid to that
I am willing to pay £50-00 uk for the torch I was thinking of either the Fenix T1 or a surefire 6P incan.Some folks have suggested that the incan is better for police work due to better colour rendition
All advice /opinions welcome

Dereelight CL1H? You can keep this light upgraded and I think it will take Incan P60 modules.

Incans you'll have to buy bulbs and live with the lower runtime or lower lumen rating but they could seem to have a more natural color.

LEDs can sometimes make up for that with sheer output and you eyes can also get used to both.

That's very true. I think the whole issue of color rendition is overrated.

At my new job, I inspected the inside of a large container. (The type you find being hauled by commercial Big Rigs). It was night, and I had two lights on me. My indestructable inca Surefire E2d, and a Fenix P3D Q5. Both did a good job of lighting up the inside of that container. But the LED equipped P3D did a significantly better job.
