Longest Reach 575M (turbo) at a Great price
"I consider the C7 the hidden gem of the Fenix lineup b/c v2 has the longest reach 575M, on Turbo, at a small size under 6", at just about any price, let alone $80. The original C7 had a 470M reach on turbo at the same list price. Because turbo doesn't last too long, I also look at the high setting, which is 387M for v2 and 300M on the original. So, for the same price you get longer reach and the battery capacity is a little bigger too, and size is only slightly longer about 0.25 of an inch. In addition, it has a both a great central spot and a faint and useful wide flood, which gives you great visibility for near situational awareness. I happen to like the side switch. And I position the clip so I can grab the light so when I feel the clip under my fingers I know the switch is right under my pinky. Otherwise, some folks may find feeling for the switch challenging. My only complaint is that the memory only remembers if you last had the light a eco, low, or med. If you had it on high or turbo when you turn it off it will remember medium. If you had it on eco, low or med when you turn it off, it will remember which ever one was your last setting. All my other Fenix lights, yes too many, that have memory remember the last setting I used no matter if it's turbo, high, med, etc. I track the specs, reach, lumens, candela, cost, size, etc. for many current and past Fenix lights at this link, which I use to compare the lights. ***public.tableau.***/app/profile/besegal/viz/BESegalFlashLightTechSpecs/FenixFlashlights"
