I like these flashlights, but they're frustrating for bike use. First of all, they're designed for maximum brightness, at the expense of battery life. Can't I get a good one that puts out 150 or 200 lumens and runs a few hours? I'd like it to be more floody than reachy. If it can burn TWO 18650 cells in parallel, it can run for a good, long time, but the two-cell models are just brighter, not longer lasting. I hope I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong.
