The Meteor is on sale from the manufacturer here.
I own two Meteors and love them very much, but they are ‘floody’ lights and I do not think they are suitable for long-range video.
I am not an expert, but I will offer an explanation. On many flashlights, the LEDs are turned on and off very rapidly when used in lower modes in order to decrease brightness. This is called ‘pulse width modulation.’ When PWM operates at low frequency, it can be annoying to some people and appear as colored or darkened stripes in photos and videos. This effect can also be seen with fluorescent light fixtures.
High frequency PWM is not bothersome to most people but can sometimes still be detected by cameras. It depends on the frequency of the PWM and the framerate or shutter speed of the camera.
The Q8 uses high frequency PWM should not cause problems with cameras in most situations. The Meteor does not use PWM, but instead adjusts the current applied to the LEDs in order to create lower brightness modes.
Some people are very sensitive to PWM and most flashlight reviews will address it.
If you are not familiar with lithium-ion batteries, please review the safety information here.
The Q8 and Meteor require button top batteries. This is due to how the batteries make contact with the terminals inside the flashlight. I use Samsung 30Q batteries in mine.
Choose a trusted brand from a trusted seller. Some quality brands include Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, and LG. Be aware that counterfeit batteries are common. The best prices are found online, but shipping restrictions of lithium batteries vary greatly around the world. Perhaps a BLF member from your area can suggest an online seller that can ship quality batteries to your location. You will also need a trusted battery charger.
The manufacturer states that the peak intensity of the 219C Meteor is 30,000 candela. Most reviewers measure the Q8 at 50,000+ candela.
Abarr, please ask more questions and tell us your intentions before making a purchase.
