Newly Enlightened
My new light arrived today, first decent one. It's a nitecore mt26. Ok I've got nothing to compare it with, but I would say its very floody. If I place the hot spot 20 feet in front, the spill is about 20 foot wide on low setting. Brightness is as you would expect with 800lu excellent, but as I said, nothing else to compare it to. I had considered the klarus xt11, but it was £20 more and also the fenix pd32 but that was also about £5 dearer with a lot less light. On first impression I wish the mt26 would have a bit more throw in lieu of brightness. Would the pd32 have given me that? For walking the dog I find it ideal, which was the main criterea, the 25lu low setting adequate with the 78lu med setting not much brighter. It's a nice size light with what seems a decent build & finish, but I wish the head would click or something when you change mode. Overall I'm very pleased with my first light, but as you all say, I cant wait to get my next one. A throwy one maybe?:twothumbs
