Hi,
After doing a lot of reading on here I decided to get a Mag Lite 2D LED (the newer one with the Cree XP-E LED). I was able to score a pair from Lowes for $17.95 each.

I'd like to get about 4 decent rechargeable NiMh D cell batteries for it along with a charger. Don't need top of the line since I've only got ~$40 in the pair of flashlights.

I'd prefer a peak charger. Will not use a timed charger (old habits from my RC car days)

Ideally I'd like to spend about $60 on the set, or get 2 batteries and a decent charger, get the other 2 later.

For now I'm using whatever alkaline D cells I have, and I'm impressed. It does what I need it to do, afraid it's a gateway to bigger and better LOL.

I thought I liked my Romison RC-G2 II Q5 and Romison RC-N3 II Q5 that I got a couple of years ago after I discovered this site. The Mag has a much better quality feel and lots of light

Thanks for any input.
