Hi guys,
I recently posted about looking for a tactical light for my wife and myself. After reading further, I believe I know what we need. Hope to hear your suggestions:
Budget: $150 each, may go up if the light offers more
Battery: USB rechargeable
Output: Single-output
Lumen count: 1,000+
Use duration: 1hr + (full battery to dead battery at 1,000+ lumens: 1hr +)
Click: 1 tail button for on/off switch and momentary light
Quality: Tough (we want to buy it once and use it for years), water/splash proof
Length: 7 in or less
Currently, only the Surefire Fury DFT meets all of this. However, I read that it gets so hot after 5 minutes I can't hold it. My question now is how I can deal with this, and how long I should expect to be able to hold the light.
Hope to hear from you.
