'Cause I'm not sure of all the details or what's possible yet.
Use: checking property for vermin from a safe distance. Camping, general utility.
Runtime - 3 hrs. on med would be about right. More is more here.
Compatibility with 2AA and 14500. Would be nice if it came with adapters.
On the throwy side of flood.
Don't need strobe, SOS etc.
Moonlight is a must. Then low/med/high. Don't care about memory.
No visible PWM at low output.
Whatever max output that won't fry the thing. Turbo not required but OK if it steps down automatically.
Simple, intuitive interface that even a technically-challenged wife can use.
Tailswitch. Don't care if it's forward or reverse.
Tailstand a plus.
Crenelated bezel, coated glass lens.
Lanyard hole.
Something GID somewhere, so it can found in the dark. Prefer a lens ring.
Some assurance that it will come with a quality driver that's decently heatsunk, and single CREE emitter.
Quality materials & craftsmanship.
Budget: $50.00 USD and under, shipped. Less is more here.
Thanks gentlemen, Be gentle, this first one is popping my flashlight cherry. I want to remember it fondly.
