Hello CPF!
This is my first post and I am happy to be a part of the community on cpf. I am an aircraft mechanic or for a big air carrier in the U.S. and I'm having a bit of trouble with the flashlights I have bought, I always seem to regret the purchase afterwards and would like some advise on what to purchase next. I usually go through them quickly and they get banged up easy. I never break them and usually I just end up getting tired of how bulky they are so I purchase another but always feel empty like it's not enough. Right now as I sit in the 767 flight deck my flashlight is in my pocket and it usually always ends there due to me always being on the move. I'm currently running an Olight MR2 Pro and it's been fine but the mode button is already worn form use and the tail switch is not satisfying at all. I use flashlights all day so to me it's more than a tool and would like one that is a joy to use. I have a list below of what I have owned. As well as some guide lines. Ps: I hate scrolling through modes blinding my self in the process.
Owned:
Olight MR2 Pro
Streamlight HL-X
Nitecore P12GTS
Streamlight Pro tac 2-lx
Fenix PD35 V2.0
1-Budget: $250.
2-Size: Somewhere in the Middle Easy to pocket. Clip preferred but not necessary.
3-color: Black
4-Battery: I've always used 18650 but if I have to will use cr123
5-lumens: enough to light an aircraft tail up but options low enough so I don't blind myself working inside the cabin.
Any suggestions help.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!!!!!!!
