I would like interest in starting this thread since we have keychain lights, long range lights, flood lights and EDC but i have not seen a MARKER section. An example would be Nextorch Glo-toob.
Hope we can start a good discussion thread on the types of Markers and specialised usage (e.g. hiking, diving etc)
for Marker lights, I think they should have the following abilities:
a) super long runtimes - 72 hours
b) crush or drop proof
c) 4 modes - low (1 lum), high (100 lum), blink (similar to camera flash effect) and SOS
d) IP ratings of 68
e) 2 tritium tubes and 2 glow tubes (if batt dies)
f) lightweight (ti or alum) or indestructible polycarbonate
please add on and carry on this discussion to the next level:0)
