hello flashlighters. i come to you asking for a very specific request, which is for a flashlight (ideally under $100 CAD) that i can use to take reference photos for drawings. attached image is one of my drawings; i really like the idea of Pointing and a flashlight beam is a great way to get it across. i just need something bright enough to cleanly cut through darkness in a defined circle, while not being so bright that it washes out what i'm pointing it at. good battery life is of course a plus.
i have been using photos on this sub as a reference (no direct copying, dw) and it has been invaluable to my practice. thank you all for having and sharing this hobby!

Convoy z1. Choose the sft 42r emitter becuase it is a round die emitter. Other may look rectangle when zoomed in too much. I consider it as the only good zoomie flashlight there is
A mule-style light is exactly what you’re looking for.
It’s a light without a optic or reflector, just bare emitters behind the lens, which creates a perfectly even beam profile with zero hotspot or artifacts.
You should check out the [**Fireflies NOV-MU V2**](https://www.firefly-outdoor.com/products/nov-mu). It’s a high-power mule, and if you go with the Nichia E21A 4500K version, you’ll get very high-CRI and a beautiful, neutral tint.
