Hey all. Unfortunately it's a tragedy that's brought me here. A friend of mine went missing last week and two days later, after a large search effort, was found dead. I realized all too late that I didn't have the equipment I needed when I needed it. I picked up a Brinkmann QBeam from Walmart, and for $20 and instant availability I at least got something to work with. But, it's time to get a real light. It's not the first time I've been out searching ditches at night, but it will be the last that I don't have the light I need.
I've done a lot of reading and it seems like either the TM06 or TM26 would do nicely. I was leaning toward the TM06 since here in middle Tennessee there is not a massive amount of open area like there would be in Texas or the West. I thought perhaps the floodiness of the TM06 would suit me just fine. But, who knows when some extra throw would be handy. One poster who reported owning both really got my attention when he said the TM26 was "considerably brighter." I want to buy once and cry once; I would be deeply grateful for your input.
Many thanks, all.
