Hey everyone,
I'm new to the site and pretty much new to flashlights... well, the one's that aren't the cheap plastic ones. Hopefully I posted this in the right section. I work mostly night shifts for the railroad and wanted a light for inspecting my locomotive, but can also give me enough light with a little distance on it too for out walking around. I also wanted a light that has a little throw and a bit of flood with it too, so i can use it for wildlife and things between 100-200 yards, without being too big in my hand and still put out decent light.
So for my edc I bought the ThruNite TN12 2016 XP-L NW with Orbtronic 3500mAh 18650 protected batteries. For my other light I bought the Nitecore EA41 2015 XM-L2 U2 with Panasonic BK-3HCCE4BE Eneloop Pro AA batteries.
I found this site after I ordered these lights and now I am wondering if I pulled the trigger too soon on them. Now I'm looking at the Fenix ps32 and pd35, but I also like the Eagletac lights. So my question is did I jump the gun buying these or will I be happy with the ones I bought? I am open to any thoughts and advice, so if there's something better for what I'm needing, then I'll return them and get something else. I don't mind spending the money if it's worth it, but I didn't know enough about these lights to spend alot on them at this time.
Thanks,
Dave
