What aa light to buy

I almost forgot, but because so many people have the C3 in stainless I used it as the baseline in my Beamshot, Part Deux thread

Beamshots Part Deux, Updated 2/8/12

I've been wanting to do this for awhile; test some beamshots of smaller lights in fairly controlled situation that give some real-world depth to the beamshots, rather than just wall shots. So here is what I did. I picked out a spot in my driveway where two tree can be 'hit' by a flashlight beam. The close tree has a red-orange washcloth on the trunk as the target, and is about 33 feet (10 meters?) away. The tree behind it is another 32 feet farther, for a total of 65 feet from the flashlight…

Mouseover any of the photos after the first one and you will see how the C3 compares to other budget lights. I'll have to update that thread with the Caveman and some other lights I've gotten since then.
