What is your \"typical\" target?
Hi guys,
We discuss the various lights in every possible aspect and respect but I don't recall a thread that focused specifically on what a person's typical target for illumination is. I was reflecting the other day after discussing flashlights with someone who was not familiar with the current state of affairs that in order to assist someone in flashlight choice, the first question to ask is "what are you planning to illuminate?"
Obviously target size, color and distance from you are all key in proper flashlight selection and I think it would be interesting to see what all of us typically are hunting with our lights!
Hardly a day goes by that I don't use a light for intense and spot illumination of a part I am machining. For this, I need a bright and focused beam to overcome the harsh contrast of ambient light. Every night, I walk the dog and use a concentrated but low level spot on Salty while he is doing his business and then follow up with a good but reasonably dim flood for "mine removal". I use the concentrated "high beam" on him when he has wandered too far or seems to have his nose in something.
So what targets do you guys "light up" on an ongoing basis??
