I wish there were only two or three choices! I want to make impulsive purchases again, like the good old days!!!! I want somebody to make the decision for me, 'cause until somebody does, NONE of these light manufacturers are going to get a cent of my birthday money!!!!!!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
(PS: Don't bother asking me what I need the light for, what type of light I prefer, or how much I want to spend. And, although I respect every single one of you out there, PLEASE don't waste your time describing your lights. I've read hundreds of hours of posts on this topic, and I've even started one or two myself. It just seems the more information I get, the less informed on this subject I feel.)
Do yourself a favor. Take $50 and buy 2 of
these. Or you can take the same $50 and buy one of
these. Try them (either one). If you don't like them, you're out $50 but you still have $450 to spend on something "better". If you do like them, you have $450 to spend on something else. At the very least, you have something to use until you decide and something to use as a back up if you get something more expensive.
