how far do you need the light to go? how long do the batteries need to last? whats your price range?

my 3 watt Olight (led) lasts 12 hrs at 90 lumens and 150 hrs at 7 lumens.

i also have a 3 D cell maglight and it (with new batteries) is almost the same brightest as my Olight on the 7 lumen setting.

on the 250 lumen setting, it has a pretty bright spot light at ~80ft. (but only lasts 3 hrs, gets fairly warm too)

the Olight cost quite a bit though, i paid 95 for the light and another 30 for the rechargeable battery and charger.
