Sorry for not reading through all the threads. I just don’t have the energy to gain all the knowledge about flashlights. I’m already into blades. I’m just looking for 1 or 2 tough, quality flashlights that will withstand rough outdoor use, wind, sand, dirt, rain, sun, shock and last many years. I intend to run them on multiple AA NiMH Eneloop’s. Efficiency over raw power. I’m not looking for fancy things. Simple and durable. Perhaps a smaller one for everyday use and a bigger one to blind an attacker
Well, what do you think about acebeam pt10, i have one, and very pleased with it, high quality light, the output is great for many purpose
another candidate i think is EA45s, 4 AA, Diecast, durable, High output
