I bought one that runs on4 rechargeable AA batts......i got some of those enelop batts..........it does not have a focusing beam.........but you have like 4 or 5 different light settings plus a strobe............I have never seen anything as grunty as this thing.........it lights up anything 60 to 80 metres away.......it aint cheap but the build is very solid ....i bought because i wanted to use standard AA size batts....=
thru nite model TN4A incredible. small and very solidly made....lets you know when power is low..........has very low light setting for going to the loo in the middle of the night........never point this sucker at someones face ! think its around 100 US....comes with lanyard and case.
The batt compartment can go in either way..........its not much bigger than those cheap little ones but it does weigh a bit as its thick marine grade metal......all good in wet weather and waterproof to 5 metres (i think?).....................i quite often go for a walk at night with my family and i often take it out ....just to blast it around the place..........the batts you see in pic......purple black eneloop hold their charge for ages and ages............I have had this torch about a year and have only charged the bats twice.........they will hold their charge for a year or more if not used.......again they are not cheap batts but if you pair these up with this torch you wont be disappointed i guarantee you........far brighter than Boulders crack !...worth every cent.
