Hello
I decided to buy a flashlight for wildlife observations, through binoculars, or a telescope, with the subjects 100m - 400m away. I'm new to flashlights and am not quite sure what kind of flashlight will suit me best. I had a long list of buying options, from the following brands: Olight, Fenix, Acebeam and Klarus. I removed the flooders, since those are definitely not what I need. Now I'm not sure if I should get a proper thrower or something between a thrower and a flooder.
There are my buying options:
All these are priced between 200-320$ (180-280 €). The specs of the X65 Mini caught my attention: 12000 lumen, 1400m beam distance. The K70/65 have 2600/6200 lumen and 1300/1000m beam distance. To my understanding, the X65 Mini should have provide a wider beam, which travels further.
What would be your choice ? Thanks for your time

There are my buying options:
- Olight Javelot Pro, Klarus XT32, Klarus X30R --- all 3 are 2x18650 throwers
- Acebeam K70 --- still a thrower, I believe, but 4x18650
- Acebeam K65 --- less throw, more flood
- Acebeam X65 Mini and Fenix TK75 ---- again, less throw, more flood
- Acebeam X45 v2 --- the floodiest option, I believe
