I have a new job, security in an old warehouse that is likely 400' by 1000'. The most used end of the building has recently been updated with ceiling hung CFLs (27w/100 equivalent) that light up the entire area very well. The rest of the building has quite a few super dark areas, very dark.
I've been using a 3AA LED Maglite in one hand for general lighting and an Egaltac 295 lumen light for brighter ID of things.
I'm looking to kick things up a bit and want suggestions for a light that would give me loads of flood as it's very easy to get tunnel vision.
Option #1
I have tons of Eneloops, so if I could get a light (or piece one together easily) that could hold AAs and I could fit a floody LED (maybe a P7). Legnth is not an issue, if it happens to be the same diameter as an ASP baton, well that would not be a completely bad thing (my first unarmed job in 13 years).
Option #2
Streamlight Flood LED Lightbox. Yes, it's big and heavy and not a defensice use light (unless I throw it). But I'm an old fireman at heart and it's good to see a classic brought up to date.
Option #3 Let me know what you suggest.
