Flashlight for EUC riding (lemmy.ca)

I'm looking for a new light for EUC riding. I currently have a SP36 which I find too big and heavy and also a thrunite TC15 that lacks throw and uses a micro USB that I dislike. A buddy of mine uses a Fenix TK16 v2 and it seems to be a good balance of flood and throw, but I dislike the buttons. I really like the features of my SP36 and the single button.

I need good flood and medium throw in order to see further ahead. I looked at hank lights and I'm quite interrested, but I'm new to all this. Through my research, I think a D1K might be a good format. I saw a few people riding EUC that said the D4Sv2 with XPL-HI is best, but this emitter isn't offered anymore.

What do you suggest?

Yes, I'm looking for a light that I hold in hands. So I don't think these form factor are the best for my use case. I want to aim it at the ground (I need to see holes and cracks in the road), but I also need to aim it at street signs or something I want to see in the woods for example.

It happened a few times that my Thrunite battery was all spent before getting back home. But maybe it won't happen with a 21700 though.
