I think the Noctigon Meteor M43 is supra-awesome. This item is the crowning achievement in flashlights. Anything smaller will give a lot less performance, and anything with more performance will be a lot larger.
Please read various reviews and topic threads. The reading material can be found via google search. I thoroughly researched content that was posted online before I made my decision to purchase this item.
If you want the most performance in a package of its size, you found it.
Please do not attempt to use protected ICR batteries in the Meteor. The protected ICR batteries are too long, and will smush the springs, and they will not work, and they do not provide the amps that are necessary to make this light perform.
Do not drop the light.
The next step up from the Meteor is too big to easily tote, so this item is the crowning achievement of my flashlight collection.
I hope you love the Meteor as much as I do!
