If you're looking for the perfect light ,forget about it
It doesn't exist in any form . it never will .
Unless you've read 700,000 posts here on BLF and understand every spec ever spoken about ,and have high end modding skills ,a lathe and a ton of money you're never ever going to find the holy grail of flashlights .
Every flashlight made is a compromise .
A thrower doesn't make a good dog walking light. A heavy multi-cell Flooder isn't a keychain light ..and a headlamp isn't an EDC ...The perfect lantern isn't a Titainium 14500/AA....My contention is that most people need like 7 different types of lights.So now you're looking for 7 perfect lights?
One really quick and easy way to find your "perfect light" is to do what so many others have done and that's to OVERPAY for a name brand expensive light . Your ego won't let you admit you've made a mistake and you'll start BSing others and yourself as to how good your flashlight is .
