Give me a thrower I can always sweep the area with a thrower
I mainly use powerful flooders outside . Plenty of reach and plenty of flood. Throwers are nice but unless I'm looking for a missing person or animal I don't often need to see 500 yards away. I have don't get me wrong but very seldom.
What is the most powerful flooder that you actually use?
Floddy for inside / Thrower for outside.
Both have their applications. I would never EDC a very throwy light (although some throw is good and even wanted), and I would never try to light up a field with a floody light. That's the reason I love Surefires MaxVision reflectors so much for EDC. Even on a very bright light, the diffused beam does not tend to blind or irritate you indoors. The right balance of throw and flood is important on any light. Even a thrower should have some spill, and a floody light should have some spot. Just one or the other by itself is mostly useless, unless you need it for a very specific application (like a spotlight (which has no spill), or lighting equipment used in photography (which has no spot)).
that`s why I like my FW21 Pro or my EC03, they`re a nice middle ground really, not just for throw and spill but also low lumen to super bright.
I think the warning label had me laughing the most. :laughing:
"PLEASE NOTE: THIS FLASHLIGHT IS NOT A TOY, EXTREME TEMPERATURES CAN CAUSE BURNS, PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN LENDING THIS PRODUCT OUT TO OTHER PEOPLE, OR WHEN STORING IT WITH A BATTERY"
Just looked up the FW21 Pro, you know, for research purposes. WOW! I think the warning label had me laughing the most. :laughing:
