Hi all.
Long time lurker.
Not very experienced with Flashlights, apart from the odd ubiquitous Maglite or (now wholly inadequate) Innova X-1 that has been in my bag for a few years.
On a recent trip into the mountains, I discovered a friend's Fenix UC35 V2.0.
I could not believe how strong the beam on this, more or less, little light was.
That began my fascination with the community surrounding these things. The available models and varieties are simply baffling
Anyway, I am now being a bit greedy and want more! I plan to use it for walking around forests, very dark, foggy, hilly roads, and the like.
But a similar form factor and size is preferable. So I looked at the PD36R, which is 60% more output, similar candela, and has a little longer throw.
My query is, what would you highly experienced folk recommend, for a similarly "small" rechargeable flashlight with at least a 350-400m throw?
I do not have the option to return something I dislike or that doesn't serve my purpose, so it would be a, buy it and live with it, sort of thing.
Thank you in advance.
