That's why I bought it. I wanted an output similar to an incandescent, but incandescent lights are harder to deal with; due to lack of battery life, and the fact bulbs with regular use, need to be changed regularly. It's brighter, the battery lasts longer; there are no bulbs to change every couple of weeks, and it doesn't get hot after extended periods as much.
A couple of favorites on me today.Malkoff MDC w/VME and M61NL drop-in. 4000K Luminous SST-20 95 CRIPeak LED Solutions Eiger. 4000K Nichia 219B 95+ CRI R9080The Peak is a fantastic little task light that can be easily clipped to the brim/bill of a cap for use as a headlamp. 15 lumens for 4-5 hours on a Eneloop AAA.The Malkoff is great for the more infrequent tasks requiring more output. 200 lumens for 2.5 hours on a 1000mAh 14500.Both are made in the USA and will survive just about anything you can throw at them.(Image removed from quote.)
Nice pair! The Peak Eiger is now on my list. The Maglite Solitaire doesn't have enough power for a go-to light, and my problem with Olight is that they are made in China. At $50, the Eiger isn't as expensive as I thought it would be.
Very nice I have been carrying the Seeker 2 for work the last few days. It's a bit larger than the ones I've previously carried, but what a torch!(Image removed from quote.)
Here is an example of the replacement unit for the A29: https://www.batteryjunction.com/rovyvon-ra20-replacement-batt-a23.htmlI'm very much against proprietary parts like this in any equipment I use. I'll except in in disposable items to a degree, but not something I plan to use for many years.
