Well it's here, only about 3 more hours to go until the battery is charged. Shoulda ordered some CR123 batteries as well so I could use it right out of the box haha.

 

This flashlight is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. I think I'll be saving up for the one I tried to get you to buy Cody. Lol. Or maybe something brighter

 

Just want I light I don't have to F with. I want to be able to throw it in its charger that will be mounted in my truck and be done with it. I'm lazy these days

 

Are you wanting a work light that's so-so bright that has can be on for a long time or something super ******* blindlingly bright?

Btw after testing, the MagLite quite a bit more "throw" to the light. If I go out on my balcony it will shine further, but only because the beam is much more focused how I have it set up. The Fenix puts out 10x the amount of light around the beam, meaning it has more "spill" to it. It's amazingly bright for the size.

I'll be ordering that TK41 or maybe something brighter soon. As Brendan described it earlier, it's got to be "panty dropping bright".

 

I've got the maglite for a work light, and a road side air pump that runs off 12v and has a light on it for changing tires. I'm looking for something to spotlight pigs with if I run up on some at the deer lease or blind the **** outta someone

 

Well take a serious look at that TK41. Look at some Youtube videos of it. It takes AA batteries so if you don't want to recharge it just throw some new ones in it. How often/long will you be spot lighting pigs or deer or blinding the **** out of someone? Surely you'll have time to change out batteries somewhere in there. For a carry light or just a smaller light in general, I think the one I bought (pd31) is excellent.

 

I was just really looking to for-go the whole disposable battery deal. Do they atleast come with brackets to mount them? I hate **** rolling around in my truck and I didn't see it listed in the package contents for either light.

 

I have never seen two guys have such a serious conversation about flashlights before.

 

It does not come with a mount but you seem handy enough to fab up something. I'm not sure they really make too many super bright lights with mounting brackets and stuff. You usually find that stuff in worklights like the streamlight stingers and stuff.

 

When I get on a computer tomorrow I'll look and see how the diameter of either of those compare to my maglite D cell. Would be awesome if I could just use my existing mounts
