I used the search option but was kinda overwhelmed and it was pretty spotty on finding what I was looking for. I've looked for lights with the wants I've put here and the Fenix TK15 came out being the one I picked but I'm a light noob 
I was hoping some people with knowledge of lights could give me some helpful input
1) How would you prefer to purchase the light?
I will be mail-ordering or buying online, so this doesn't matter.
2) Budget
around 80$
3) Format:
I want a flashlight
4) Flashlight-specific format/size:
thin, comfy in pocket, can be alittle bulky if it gets the job done
5) Emitter/Light source:
__X__LED (known for efficiency, longevity, and compactness)
6) Manufacturer:
__X__I want to buy a light from a traditional mass producing manufacturer that is ready to go out of the box.
7) What battery type do you want to use?
_X__CR123
8) How much genuine out the front (OTF) light do you want/need? Sometimes you can have too much light (trying to read up close up with a 100 lumen light is impossible).
_X__looking for something that can throw a decent spot at a 100 yards or at least be able to make out what an object is at 100 yards so that will more than likly determine the brightness
9) Throw vs. Flood: At what distance will you be most likely to use this light? Select all that apply.

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__Very Important (Camping, Backpacking, Car Glove-box).
_X__I don't know.
12) Switch Type and location (choose all that apply):
__X__I want a forward clicky (Helpful for momentary activation and signaling).
__X__I want a momentary switch (Predominantly for use with signaling and short bursts of momentary light only).
__X__I want a tail mounted switch (found on the majority of today's high end lights).
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.
__X__I want 2 light levels. (Brighter/short runtime and Dimmer/long runtime.)
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's flashlights).
__X__Stainless steel (durable, but much heavier than aluminum)
__X__I don't know.
