Hello all. In the past couple of months, I have gone through many cheap (and a few expensive) flashlights trying to find one that can do everything I want, but to no avail. Perhaps this is asking for a bit much from one flashlight, but I'll let you all be the judge of that. The features I want are as follows:
If anyone has any specific lights they can suggest, or even a specific brand to guide me in the right direction that I could check out, that would be great. I've been looking online for a while, and I've found that it's very difficult to search for flashlights "by feature" as it were. I've checked out some Fenix lights that seem really nice, but none of them seem to be able to zoom/focus, and I don't need their strobe ability at all.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
- Handheld (not the huge club-like ones)
- LED probably, because of the durability and bulb life, but I'm open to suggestions
- Adjustable brightness settings. At least one dim and one really bright, and more in between wouldn't hurt
- On that note, a light that is able to get pretty dang bright. I don't need to permanently blind anyone, but brightness that makes searching in pitch black feasible would be nice
- Adjustable zoom/focus. What I mean by this is a light that can either cover a wide area in one setting, or be brought in to tight focus on a spot with another setting. I have insofar been unable to find a single light that has both multiple zoom/focus and brightness settings
- It would be ideal if this light also had multiple color settings (green, red, and/or blue). This would probably be the last feature I'd be worried about, simply b/c I'm sure that this is pretty hard to find
- Cost isn't really an issue. If it could be had for under 75, that would be ideal. But I am willing to compromise to find my perfect light!
