Hello everyone, I must say What a GREAT site this is! Tons and tons of good info...
Long story short my fascination with flashlights goes way back to being a kid, I had to have the brightest flashlight on the street for when we played flashlight tag at night...
Up until a few years ago I have been completely happy with my old Streamlight SL-20. It has served household duty very well. I recently acquired a Streamlight Propolymer 4AA Xenon, I liked it very much, (IMO) it was very bright, had good Batt life, had good usable distance, and was small enough to toss in a bookbag and travel with. Unfortunately it has since been lost...
I am currently looking for a replacement...
Ive read pages of info here and found a lot of people LOVE Fenix and 4Sevens lights...
I am not biased towards xenon over led. My only requirements are,
1) It MUST take store bought, regularly available Batts.
2) Must be as bright or brighter than the Propolymer (Up to 11,000 Candela (peak beam intensity), 34 lumens (typical) )
3) Have a run time longer than just a few hours.
Some of the lights that have caught my eye include.
Maglite XL100
Mini Mini Mag LED
Fenix L2P V2
Pelican lights
Another Propolymer
I figure this would be a great site to ask for help on choosing a light...
Thanks everyone..
