Essentially i'm after a large'ish torch with internal charging, adjustable beam head and good light. Something like the MH40GTR would be ideal but it doesn't have an adjustable head. Thanks!

1) How would you prefer to purchase the light?

- This will be mail-order or Online (location doesn't matter).
2) Budget: An easy question, but you may change your mind after answering the rest! :)
- Up to $200.
3) Format:
- I want a flashlight (hand held/self contained).
4) Size:
- MEDIUM/LARGE
5) Emitter/Light source:
- LED (known for efficiency, longevity, and compactness)
6) Manufacturer:
- I want to buy a light from a large/traditional manufacturer that is ready to go out of the box.
7) What power source do you want to use?
- I intend to use Rechargeable cells based on less common formats (18500 or 18650 Li-Ion, RCR123, et-al).
7a) If you have selected a rechargeable option
- I don't care
8) How much genuine out the front (OTF) light do you want/need? Sometimes you can have too much light (trying to read up close up with a 100 lumen light is not a happy experience).
- I want search and rescue type illumination (800+ lumens).
- SPECIAL NOTE: Burst/Turbo mode Category - There are several lights that will run at a super bright maximum for a very limited period (usually 5-10 minutes) and then will "step-down" to a lower level for thermal control. Check here if this is acceptable.
9) Flood vs Throw: Flood covers an area, Throw reaches out to a distance.
- Wide Throw: I want a beam with a noticeable hot-center for distance throw and a significant amount of "side-spill". Good for rough trail hiking, search and rescue, and general distance work.
9a) Distance: How far away will you typically need to see with this light (check all that apply)
- 50-150 yards/meters (I live in a very rural area/farm with wide open spaces)
10) Runtime: Not over-inflated manufacturer runtime claims, but usable brightness measured from first activation to 50% with new batteries (Measured on maximum continuous output).
- 30-60 minutes (I have plenty of batteries just ready to be changed)
11) Durability/Usage: Generally the old phrase "you get what you pay for" is very accurate for flashlights.
- Slightly Important (Walks around the neighborhood).
12) Switch Size, Type, and location (choose all that apply):
- I don't care.
13) User Interface (UI) and mode selection. Select all that apply.
- I don't care.
14)Material/Finish/Coating
- I don't care.
15) Water resistance
- None needed
16) Storage conditions
- In house (temperature/climate controlled environment)
17) Special Needs/extras: Is there anything else you want or need that hasn't been mentioned? Select any/all below.
- Zoom head (spot to flood is it called?!)
