I'm looking for a bright flashlight to add to my light collection sometime in the next month, and am torn between two different lights: The Olight SR90, and the MG X-Thrower. Anyone have any experience with these?
I'm looking for mainly throw, as I have a Fenix TK-11 that I can use for "normal" use, so this will be more of a novelty light. The SR90 has more lumens and an incredible throw using the SST-90 LED, while the X-Thrower uses the SST-50. The X-Thrower has more lumens/$ than the SR90, but the enormous rated output of the SR90 is making me think differently.
Any advice on which one I should get? Or possibly even a different light altogether? I'd prefer to stick with LED if possible, because of the better efficiency (longer runtimes) and cooler running temperatures, but I'm willing to switch to other kinds of illumination if they look good.
Shipping to Canada is a must, although most places in the US will do it. Special points if you find someone in the Toronto area who offers pickups.
