Hi All,
Just looking for some advice on a light for average use, this will be my walking the dog, taking out the garbage, looking out my backyard to see what all that noise is about :candle: kind of light, so it's not an EDC just for average use, here are the requirements:
- durable
- water proof
- Uses AA battery (I've got heaps of Imedions and Eneloops around the house, and want the convenience of easily obtainable AA's in case of emergencies)
- Has decent flood/throw combo, (~50m distance should be plenty)
- Has ~2hrs or more runtime on max
- Reasonable pricing (<$100)
I've so far only narrowed it down to 2 lights that meets these requirements:
- Fenix LD20 (R5)
- Dereelight Javelin (XP-G R5)
The Fenix LD40 would have been perfect if not for it's plastic body. I don't know why Fenix didn't make this in a metal body like all their other lights.
Anyway, does anybody own both of the lights mentioned above? if so which one would you recommend for the purpose I mentioned above.
Any other suggestions which fit the requirements above are also welcome.
Thanks in advance.
