In addition to Newlumens' reply above,

I usually don't reply to "Suggest A Light" requests, because the many factors and variables and criteria in the suggestors mind and the suggestees mind rarely coincide. But, since this topic thread is highly visible because it is not located where the other "Suggest" topic threads are, I will chime in.

Acebeam X65. Because the beam profile is hyper mega awesome.

:welcome:

Hello. I had the Fenix TK72R and returned it. It was too hot to hold on the higher power settings. I have 7 other Fenix lights that I really like, so I don't have anything against Fenix. Then I bought the Olight X7R Maurader, and I kept it. It's great. Extremely bright. It gets hot, of course, but the handle stays comfortable, unlike the TK72R. It's my first Olight, and to me it has the same build quality as Fenix. I'm really happy with the Marauder, and it's cheaper than the TK72R.

By the way, i have a fenix tk72r and olight x7.. i love fenix tk72r more.. great design. You can adjust 100-9000 lumen. Charging is pretty quick.. you will like it. Please keep us update. good luck.

Hi - I'm making the same decision. Will probably buy from Vinh. Of the two, which is the throwier...?

Thanks!
