Help needed: torch with good spill of light

The Doc · Nov 22, 2008

Hi

I have been looking for few days on the forum, but now need some help. I am looking for torch with a good spill of light. Happy to forgo some throw. I know the Surefire L4 is very good, but they are around $280 in Australia, too expensive for my needs. What I am looking for:

1. good spill of light;
2. throw of 100 feet is enough
3. powered by AA Ni-MH or Lithium 18650
4. cost to around US100

Thanks for any help.

THe model with THE strongest spill is the new Eagletac T10C2. THis is a 123 battery light. THey also have a 2 AA light that is excellent ( not quite as good as the T10C2 model ), and a version -T10L that uses an 18650 battery. Prices in the $60 range.

use CPF8 discount code. If you're not going to use a ton of batteries and want the strongest...get the T10C2 model. I have this, and the spill is amazing....everything is lite up! No need to move the light around to center the spot!

Thanks I will take a look. I could probably go CR123 batteries if needed.

If you wanted to spend a little more you could get:

NovaTac EDC-120 Flashlight

AW RCR123a Protected 750 mAh Battery

Nano Charger

And all that will give you a floody light with reasonable throw, that is rechargeable.

You may need to have a plug converter to go from US to AUS plugs.

On the lower end of the price range, the Fenix E20, when the head is loosened has great spill.

Olight's.
The T25 Tactical runs on 2xAA Alkaline, Lithium and NiMH, and it's been posted here that a SF F04 diffuser fits over the bezel if you need even more spill, $85 AUD. Then again I can recommend their entire range.

Led Lenser also make lights that fit your need.

Thanks for everyone's help, I ended up buying the Eagletac T10C2.

My new lithium charger can charge CR123 batteries it turns out.

I was going to say a light with a P7 or MC-E, which would give you at least twice the lumens of a XR-E based light.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the Eagletac T10C2 though and it will have good throw as well.
