If it's power you want try one of these.

I've got one and it's seriously mental. It actually made my main beams look dim. Theres a few different versions, I'm told the ones with three/four leds throw more of a spot beam, the one I have with seven throws a fairly spread beam, still goes a long way.

note do not look at it even when you've only got one of the four 18650 batteries in it, I did not knowing it would still work! Took a few minutes before I could see properly. :oops:

swear by my Fenix PD35, 960 lumens, very bright, very high quality, but a little pricey, £60 But i have to say in my opinion worth the money.

I am a big fan of the 18650 powered cree torches. I have spent far too much money on http://www.dx.com/c/lights-lighting-139 ... ights-1360

I have a couple of ultrafire wf502b's. I also have a wf-500 that had a xenon bulb that I replaced with a cree drop in module that has 6 LEDs producing over 1,000 lumen.

Hadn't realised that a 18650 can be replaced by 3xAAA batteries so something useful learned today!

I have one of those little LE torches in my EDC, great little torch, sure it's not as bright as my LED Lenser p7.2, but it's plenty bright enough, and a lot cheaper and a whole lot lighter.
The Lenser is lovely too though, have that mounted on my gun for night shooting, even with a red filter it turns night to day, and can be bought in a pack with both a normal switch and a remote switch so suits my purposes perfectly, beautifully made too.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.
