celtic tech
I was, and still am, a big fan of the Maglite in all its forms having used them for years, but I have to say that the new LED technology is the way to go. Follow the link to Tektite LED torches if you are interested. I bought the Expedition 1900 with 19 very bright LED's and it is excellent, I'm still running same set of 3 conventional C cell Duracell Alkali batteries since I bought it and I use regularly for extended periods. However, if you need spotlight beam then then it might not be the best choice, it gives a very even diffuse light to about 10m. Take a look anyway.
