I can't decide between the SFT-25R and SFT-40 emitters. The price difference between them is negligible, and every online article seems to have differing opinions on which one has more throw, spill, etc.

Also, I am indecisive on the colour temperature. 5000K is daylight coloured apparently, while 6500K is cooler (blue tinted) and 3000K is warmer (yellow tinted, only available for SFT-40). I don't like cooler lights, so I guess I will probably go with 5000K (unless 3000K isn't super warm, then maybe that one?)

I am going with the Conway T6 as it's compatible with regular AA batteries (like my IKEA Laddas), but as I understand, lights with built-in charging functions (e.g. Skilhunt EC150) usually don't work with NiMH batteries, only Li-ion 14500 batteries.* I don't think the Conway T6 has that, but I could be wrong. The T6 also cokes in a really unique purple colour!

*small edit: I meant that the charging bits don't always work for NiMH batteries for most flashlights, the light itself would still work. The wording is a little unclear, sorry about that!

edit 2: I'm purchasing the T6 w/ the SFT-40 3000K emitter! Thanks everyone!
