Having used fenix flashlights in the past I wanted a good, bright light for hunting animals at night and following a blood trail, after much research I choose the HM65-T, has both the flood and spot light, didn't need the red or colored lights and has good run times, also bought a backup 3400mAh battery to carry if needed. Also, took advantage of the 20% discount for first time buyers and the 5 year warranty.
