Looking for a no nonsense lantern for my aunt. Want to keep it simple. The contenders,
Streamlight Siege (alkaline) or Super Siege ( Li-ion pack) vs the Fenix CL30R (3 cell 18650's;
1) Super Siege = lithium pack great runtime and easy to use, 1100 lumens max, no other parts needed. Not replaceable though. life expectancy. Per Sreamlight, currently lifetime warranty and would replace the pack. I'd like the ability to have a back up pack in case longer runtimes are needed.
2) Seige = 3 D cells, Eneloops would prob work as well, but I'd need to buy them and a charger for it. Only 540 lumens max
3) Fenix = Doesn't look as robust, not as many hanging options, but can have as many backup cells as needed. May need to also supply my own charger unless I want to use the built in charger.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I'd get the Super Siege now if they ran replaceable Li_ions or had the ability to have a extra battery pack.
Want to keep it simple for my 70 yr old aunt to use as an emergency light.
Thanks!
