Hi all,

A co-worker gave me an SF MN-10 bulb for free along with 12 CR123 Panasonic batts. His brother is in the service. I want to do something with it but am not that experienced. Any suggestions would be appreciated!



1) How would you prefer to purchase the light?



__X__I will be mail-ordering or buying online, so this doesn't matter.

2) Budget: An easy question, but you may change your mind after answering the rest! :)



__X__Less than $100.



3) Format:



__X__I want a flashlight.



4) Flashlight-specific format/size:



__X__Every day carry medium (4-7 inches).

5) Emitter/Light source:



__X__Incandescent (known for superior color rendition)



6) Manufacturer:



__X__I would consider getting a light that is pieced together (for example a "host" or flashlight body from one manufacturer, and a "drop-in" emitter from another source).



7) What battery type do you want to use?



__X__I intend to use lithium primary batteries (CR123, CR2, Energizer Advanced/Ultimate Lithium AA/AAA)



9) Throw vs. Flood: At what distance will you be most likely to use this light? Select all that apply.



__X__50-150 yards/meters (I live in a very rural area/farm with wide open spaces.



10) Runtime: Not over-inflated manufacturer runtime claims, but usable brightness measured from first activation to 50% with new batteries (Measured on maximum output).



__X__90-120 minutes (Runtime is moderately important, but still not critical)



11) Durability/Usage: Generally the old phrase "you get what you pay for" is very accurate for flashlights.



__X__Slightly Important (Walks around the neighborhood).



12) Switch Type and location



__X__I want a tail mounted switch



13) User Interface (UI) and mode selection. Select all that apply.



__X__A simple on-off with only one output level is fine for me.



14)Material/Finish/Coating



__X__Anodized Aluminum – either type II or III (Hard Anodized) (Aluminum, specifically HA, is the most common material/finish for today



Thanks,



Robert
