I have dealt with hkequipment on eBay on several occasions and so have several other candlepowerforum users. He is a dealer in China and is legit with great prices.
i think far throwing lights give confidence to the user. When i am on a backpacking trip sleeping in the night and hear a noise that wakes me up... im going to want a light that throws a long distance just so i know im covering as much ground as i can which gives me confidence whether i see...
dang man that sucks... you should look at armytek lights, fantastic build quality. If you are looking for an XML light the Viking would be my recommendation. Its a single 18650 light and puts out around 1000 lumens i believe.
The armytek predator sounds like what you are looking for. Its a single 18650 sized light with an XP-G2 emitter with a smooth reflector. I can attest to the throw of this flashlight.
Its 860 lumens... im not up on my halogen brightness but i would think that is plenty for a spare light to keep in the truck. I like the charging of the light because i can just use the usb on my radio headunit to keep it filled up

i like the look of the gold but i feel that in certain situations the black would be more usable. What do you guys think?
