Awesomest post of my year ! Thank you.
Like I said, not trying to impress you but wanted to let everyone know there are excellent and inexpenive tools that are completely reliable.
ON the 800 Lumen Cree’s I use one almost every night. I walk 3-5 miles a night and I probably turn it on and off 30+ times as I look for skunks, so I can walk around them.
I also take time to observe the deer, they are everywhere and the occasional fox.
This light is really reliable. I’ve dropped it and the heavy use of the button with no failure leads me to believe it’s completely reliable.
Cost was only $12 bucks. $100 less than the Fenix.
Get some when you can. They are just a great inexpensive alternative to other brands.
