Intersting. I have one that runs off of two AA, and one that runs off of a special 3v battery. One projects sorta far (not as good as my 2 C cell maglight) and one doesn't project far but lights up the whole area around me.

I NEED a LED flashlight that will actually project as far as a maglight.

$40 seems like a lot...but you do get what you pay for as far as flashlights go. I don't see the on/off switch...what kind of switch does it use and where is it located?

Thats a nice flashlight. I have a minimag with the 3 led conversion and 2 1w luxeon flashlights...but personally my favorite light is my 6 D-cell maglight with the magnumstar bulb. But I do like these luxeon leds they are very bright and nicley focused. Does it say how long those batteries last?

Yeah I got this LED Lenser by Coast and even at 1.3 watts it will blind you. Has one of those laser warning on the tip.
