OK guys,
While I'm still sifting through the forum and finding my way around the threads im looking for some opinions.
Looking to add yet another headlamp to my collection.
What I have: a led lenser H14, a H14.2 and a H5 (and some crap $10-30 jobs I don't use)
What I want:
I'm looking to move away from AA & AAA and build a kitty that are all compatible with 18650 batteries so I only have to carry the one battery size with me.
Key requirements:
. 18650 compatible
. Variable light output, preferably a dimmer but stepped is ok
. White main light, but has red secondaries
Desirable:
. Adjustable spot to flood
. Variable red led output, otherwise very low powered red leds
. Waterproof, or at the least shower resistant
What it's for:
To put on my head... Nah jokes! OK so I like to hunt (hunt by means of search for, not shoot) creatures at night so I need a good flood beam for the immediate area around me, but with a spot beam that packs enough punch to light up eyes at 100m+. I like the low setting to be the opposite so I can dull it down as to not spook things too much. The red LEDs I would love to be dimmable also but I have not seen one that does, if that's the case I'd like the secondary red LEDs to be quite dull as the primary reason for wanting the reds is to have only enough light to see what I'm doing just in front of me while fishing or at times where I do not want a light on at all.
If I could get some brands/models that may fit that bill to start researching that would be great. If you need more info to better direct me then ask away and I'll try to be more specific
TIA
Matt
