So, my Dad wants an emergency spot light to use on his boat, for general purpose but potentially to search the seas for someone lost overboard. He’s suggested one of these but they look a bit underpowered to me. It’s not possible to convert lumens and candela directly, but from googling I believe it works out at about 400 lumens.
Knowing what I do about bike lights, I’d have thought in 2015 it might be possible to get something brighter for the money. Can anyone recommend something better, with the criteria:
Reliable
Rechargeable (via 12w cigarette lighter ideally)
Ergonomic (able to use with gloves on, in a rush)
Bright
Since he wants it for Christmas, it probably needs to come from the UK.
Moon on stick?
