Greetings All
I've been a "flashaholic" for about 5 years now, I've been enjoying CPF for a little over a year but only recently joined and this is my first post (hope I do it right).
:bow: First off, Thank You sooooo much to everyone who makes this forum what it is (staff and members). Your input, testing/findings, explainations and overall (overwhelming) knowledge of a seemingly simple device, A.K.A. the Flashlight have helped me and countless others develop, fullfill and sustain this wonderfully fantastic addiction.
P.S. My wife on the other hand............ let's just say she's not completely antiflashlight (yet) but does not share in my excitment for lights.
Am I alone on this one. :thinking: Surley there's gotta be a few lumen loving females out there.
Anyway... On to the question
I've recently started a new job as a security officer for a nuclear power facility. While in training I was told I can carry which ever light/lights I want as long as it does not interfer with the carring or function of any other equipment. Standard issue is a 2D Mag. I plan on carring my Fenix TK11 R2 and a single AA for small but capeable backup.
I'm entertaining the idea of buying a jet 1 pro ibs q5. I already have a fenix ld10 ( pd20 head on L1D body) and a nitecore D10 (q5). Will the jet give me a WOW type difference using NiMH in all three. How about the same question using a protected 14500 in all three . I'm not too concerned about med and lo modes or runtimes as I will be carring several spare batteries for which ever light I choose to carry. Mainly I'm wanting to know about max brightness/throw. Any feedback based on "real" experience with the lights mentioned will be greatly appriciated. Outdoor (practical) beamshots if you got them please. Thank you in advance
