For hunting, I currently use a Streamlight 4AA propoly lux as my main light. I use it for tracking, looking down trails in timber, or using the throw to find the best way to get out of a clearcut. I carry a Fenix L2T on my belt as a backup and for around camp.
I would like to upgrade both lights and to stick with AAs. I need the throw to be as good or better than the propoly with good spill. I like the two modes of the L2T. What would be the best combination with a budget of $125 shipped for both lights?

Thanks in advance.

I was thinking about the TK20. If anyone has both, can they offer opinions on the propoly vs. TK20?

I have 4 propoly 4AAs that I use for tracking. All of them where upgraded with seouls ($6.00 each). Much brighter with a ton more spill! Hard to beat a 4aa bright yellow plastic light with loooong burn time for hunting. Not that hard of an upgrade if you have a little skill and I have very little.

IIRC the hardest part about Luxeon to Seoul swap is taking apart the module and getting to the LED.

Once you get past there it should be a pretty simple swap.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
I read all of the threads on the TK20 and that looks like the way to go. I would like to see beamshot comparisons between the TK20 and propoly for throw if anyone has any.
