Hello fellow flashlight lovers
I'm in need of some assistance, for work I'm looking for a light that's water resistant, can take a bit of a beating and is more floody than a thrower. I'd love one that does both, I have looked a nitecore EX7 but I'm not sure. Doesn't need to be super bright and I'd like to stay below let's say €150 ish, boss doesn't like to spend. Currently have a NEBO Davinci 1000 but its starting to fail me. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Since you’re looking for something more floody than throwy, rugged, and highly waterproof, the [**Acebeam E75**](https://www.acebeam.com/e75?srsltid=AfmBOoq3EtcqTpu1WlThQkX1sG0RML1NEf04Z1As4Rg1z2Q2cDZ7-yFT) is a perfect fit.
You can get it with either the floody, high-CRI Nichia 519A 5000K emitters or the more powerful Cool White 6500K version (which has a bit more throw but is still primarily a floody light).
It fits right into your $100 budget and offers way more lumens and power than your NEBO Davinci. It can sustain at least 1000 lumens and has a 2-minute turbo mode between 3000–4500 lumens, depending on which emitters you choose. It also features a USB-C port, a magnetic tailcap, and a two-way pocket clip.
**Edit:** The E75 is also identical in size and appearance to the Nitecore EX7 you already mentioned.
