It's has been ages since I last visited this site and technology has changed ALOT in the past 2-3 years since I was last checking on the site regularly! I work on HVAC equipment at a local University and the Safety Director isn't to impressed by the flashlights that I use (a moded MM and an L2D) because of their metal cases.
Specifics that I would like to get in a new work torch are:
1. NOT a headlamp. I'll end up with a Zebralight soon enough but I want a belt EDC as well.
2. A light that isn't condusive to an arc flash , for when I'm poking around and in an interior/exterior panel box checking out why something won't run and I need to have the system power on to check for voltage.
3. Low mode around 15-25L, High mode around 50L+. Other modes such as Moon, Medium, Turbo or Strobe/SOS would be great but not required.
4. AA's with extended run time if possible.
5. Atractive enough to elicit ooh's and ahh's for the coeds and female co-workers who appreciate a maintenance guy having a decent work light. :laughing:
