I own a lot of fenix stuff, I always liked them. Not the most powerful in terms of brightness but always well built and quality components are used in them. I don’t own any nitecore’s but I’ve always wanted one. Who’s the best vendor now days for fenix and nitecore? Amazon has the Nitecore HC50 for $45 Amazon.com Is that a good deal?

Depends on what part of the world you are in.

For what it is worth…the HC50 is a good balance between throw and flood. The JetBeam HC20, Nitecore HC30, and Xtar H3 are all “throwy” headlamps. Diffuser film would possibly be a good idea. The Skilhunt with TIR (H02 and H15 and H01), Zebralight, and Armytek are “floody”.

Myself, I prefer the H02 and the H15. I also use an HC50. My HC30 and H3 are backup only because the hotspot is not conducive for what I do. FYI…Skilhunt also comes in NW tint
