Hi all,
I'd like to buy a new flashlight, some kind of thrower with a good brightness.
I already have several CR123 (one and two cell), all xp-g based/compact sized and one triple xp-g from oveready. I do love all of them but none of them are able to throw much.
Now I had a look to the actual Fenix's catalogue and I got curious about 4 models:
TK-41
TK-35
TK-60
TK-70
My problem is that I don't want to use rechargeable, I use my flashlight only sometimes and I want them to be ready, moreover I hate waiting for charging time. I prefer to stock 2/3 set of fresh battery for each flashlight plus the one installed inside, I keep everything in some Pelican cases. I think that in case of emergency it's a much better solution than using rechargeables.
So here we are, I'd like to ask you which of these flashlights will offer same intensity in turbo mode with non rechargeable alkaline or lithium compared to the rechargeables.
If I understand the TK-70 (what a wild beast!) is asking too much current for standard batteries, but did anyone compare this lamp on the two kind of batteries? And what about the other models?
TK-41 is a nice piece, is it going to run on same brightness on alkaline as on ni-mh? And what will happen to the runtime? Lithium AA can be stocked for long time and are easily available..
TK-35 is nice and it can be used with the same cr123 that I'm having for all other my lights but ... it's the less throwier, it's a pity.
I hope you'll help me to decide!
