Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I am researching a new flashlight and I am hoping to get your expert opinions. I need a pocket flashlight to replace the cheapy throw away I had bought for work. I do building inspections and emergency response for a living. I crawl around in attics, under buildings, in tunnels and many times need to read labels or information from a distance. I found that the cool or white lights reflect off labels and surfaces, making it hard to read or see in small spaces. So 1) the light has to be natural light. 2) I need it to throw as far as possible as some areas I go to cant be reached from up close. I also have to work outdoors at night and need to see pretty far. 3) this is going to be an everyday carry, so I am hoping the flashlight doesn't exceed 4-4.5 inches. Finally, I have a few 14500 cells around, so if those will work for it, that will be great.
So far, the closest thing I have come across is the Nitecore EA11. Do you all know of anything better? Less expensive? I appreciate any info. Thank you all and have a great one!
