I'm not a flashlight hobbyist, but I think I'd like a better light. I've only ever bought $20 2x or 3x AA lights from the hardware store.
The Big Table™ means very little to me. Can I get an opinion on the Sofirn SP36 (BLF) 🔦 $67 as a general purpose light to take camping?
I'm expecting that any light that hobbyists like would be brighter and longer reaching than the cheap ones I've bought, but I'm a bit worried about a flashlight having a "user interface".

The SP36 is a fairly large light, larger than I think most people really need for general use and camping. The FC11C is adequate, simpler to operate, and a more convenient size. Pick up a couple spare batteries if you're concerned about runtime.
