Hi all, thanks for your time!
I'm after a new flash light and don't really want to get carried away with new battery formats...
Hopefully the survey below helps!

Hopefully the survey below helps!
1) How would you prefer to purchase the light?
__x__I will be mail-ordering or buying online, so this doesn't matter.
2) Budget: An easy question, but you may change your mind after answering the rest!
____Less than $60.
3) Format:
__x__I want a flashlight
4) Flashlight-specific format/size:
____I don't care.
5) Emitter/Light source:
__x__LED (what's HID?)
6) Manufacturer:
__x__I want to buy a light from a traditional mass producing manufacturer that is ready to go out of the box.
7) What battery type do you want to use?
____I intend to use standard size batteries (AAA, AA, C, D) nimh or lithiun
8) How much genuine out the front (OTF) light do you want/need? Sometimes you can have too much light (trying to read up close up with a 100 lumen light is impossible).
__x__I want as much as I can get
9) Throw vs. Flood: At what distance will you be most likely to use this light? Select all that apply.
__x__50-150 yards/meters (I live in a very rural area/farm with wide open spaces)
10) Runtime: Not over-inflated manufacturer runtime claims, but usable brightness measured from first activation to 50% with new batteries (Measured on maximum output).
____90-120 minutes (Runtime is moderately important, but still not critical)
11) Durability/Usage: Generally the old phrase "you get what you pay for" is very accurate for flashlights.
____Fairly Important (It's not going to be used as a weapon, but I won't drop it either).
12) Switch Type and location (choose all that apply):
____I don't care.
13) User Interface (UI) and mode selection. Select all that apply.
____I don't care.
14)Material/Finish/Coating
