Hi, all, I have a 4 d-cell maglite with a terralux tle-300 head. In my opinion it is nice and bright, with reasonable throw and flood, but I don't own many torches so I have little reference.
I was wondering what might give me better throw. I have not seen any reviews on the maglite with the tle-300 head, so I don't know whether I need to go over the top on cost, or whether something reasonable (for me <$100) will do the job.
For reference I have a 5 acre farm with horses, so I want something that can spot a fox/rabbit/whatthehellisthat at between 50-100yards in the middle of the night. I don't need much flood, as I prefer not to get the stray light into the horses eyes. I have a couple of nice small torches, including a great zebralight h30, for walking around, so the new one would be just for spotting. It can be bigger than jeans pocket size, but preferably shorter than the 4d cell mag. As it will live in the house, run time is not critical.
Am I asking too much?
Any advice would be appreciated.
