[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 356861, member: 1365"] Ari - STOP BUYING THE ONES AT THE GAS STATION - the brightness of these little beasts varies according to the batteries and the diode that the battery powers. The CREE XML T6 (LED) with the equivalent of two Li-Ion 123 batteries... Which is this one: [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GX2MA8O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GX2MA8O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/url] ...is so bright it qualifies as a tactical item. It will easily illuminate someone at night, at fifty yards, or further. It's a matter of simple physics...high power drain = high output...in other words the bright light lasts a couple if hours. The good one have multiple modes...low/med/high...etc. If using Chinese batteries the trick to a good light is to use one that takes only one battery since the Chinese batteries 'usually' differ in their amperage from spec. And running batteries rated at different mAmps either parallel or in series is a 'bad thing'. It's like 'crossing the streams' with a GhostBuster Particle Accelerator! lol But depending on the juice, the circuitry and the specific LED...these puppies can be crazy bright! [/QUOTE]
