Hi Folks,
Done some searching with not much joy.
I'm looking for a Tactical Flashlight suitable for Mountain Biking and Road Cycling (Commuting & Touring) too.
I don't have any soldering skills for Do It Yourself. So, an off the shelf or custom made product would be best I think.
I would like the light to have the following characteristics.
High CRI
4000K Max. Temp. (Neutral White)
Be able to light up the full width of a car lane; is an Orange Peel reflector more suitable for this purpose?
Long run time at 500 lumens
18650 Battery
No PWM dimming
Mode Memory
Defensive Bezel
Max Output: High enough for useful defense purpose; what's a good minimum?
Useful Throw - what is considered a useful minimum for Max. Throw?
After creating a Spreadsheet for comparison purposes I thought I had found a winner which was the MF Tactical Delta-5.

LED: Cree® XP-L HD V5
1300 lumens / 4 hrs
910 lumens / 5 hrs 45 mins
520 lumens / 13 hrs
130 lumens / 40 hrs
However, after reading some posts on this Forum and receiving replies, from my last email, that did not properly address the questions, I have doubts about buying anything from them.
For example, when I asked about PWM Dimming regarding the Delta-4 & Delta-5, the response I received was "They both are digitally regulated, but brightness on both is related to battery charge state.". Can someone translate please?
There is no Neutral White option neither.
Can anyone recommend a Flashlight with similar Output and Run Times and is available with a Neutral White LED?
