Now thats a torch

depending on brand, 1-2hrs continous. apples and oranges IMO.

Can't compare ~100 lumens to well over 1000 (3000 in this case)

The LED lights are good, but its like comparing a penny bunger to a nuclear warhead. This throws out very serious illumination.

I grew up spotlighting rabbits with my father. We used a 6V motorbike battery in a canvas bag over the shoulder and a hand held light. I thought that was bright. And after two hours, and with a dozen rabbits on your belt, the battery started to get bloody heavy (at least for a ten year old). One of these HID lights would have been greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that Mike.

I note the battery life is about half of the 'torch' format lights, but at half the price looks very attractive.

The $520 HID version looks mysteriously similar to the one I just bought from China.

Bob, I never looked that far up the price range. I'm looking in the hundred and something dollar range, and LED rather than HID as the LED suits what I want to use it for.

Good luck with the one from China :-)

I think its almost the identical torch and it almost certainly comes from the same factory in China.
