I bought a cheap LED kit from Wally World, and was unimpressed,
then I bought a high dollar Streamlight Luxeon Jr. was still unimpressed.. and I told them so
I then bought a Pelican, which got really bright after I dropped it, it still works though.
but I needed something for long distance like say about 40 or 50' so I still use my 4AA Pelican with a Xenon lamp
