For submission in the Reviews forum:
I recently received the Duracell Daylite LED spotlight as a gift from family and I am extremely pleased with it.
Here are a few specifications about this light...
Beam type: Wide, concentrated spot of light that is uniformly bright with little to no visible spill.
Brightness: 80 lumens.
Emitter: It is hard to tell due to the light's domed lens, but upon close inspection it appears to be a Lux III. It is 3 watts.
Runtime: Should be several hours, although I currently don't have an exact figure for this. It is going to be very long compared to average spotlights though due to its relatively low energy draw. I will soon have more information on how well regulated it is and its runtime after I get to use it some more. Regardless, it is going to give you a much longer runtime than halogen spotlights.
Optical System: This light uses a rounded optic lens (which I believe would be considered an aspheric), a deep reflector behind that, then a second small optic in front of the emitter, and finally the emitter.
Dimensions based on measurements that I did with my measuring tape:
Front lens/reflector diameter excluding bezel: Approximately 2.75''.
Full body diameter measured from side to side at the front bezel area; its widest point: Approximately just less than 4.25''.
Length of light from bottom of handle to top of body: Approximately 8.5''
Length of light's body from front lens/bezel area to back of battery compartment: Approximately 5.5''.
Usage
This light is very easy and simple to use all around. Simply twist off the battery cover on the back, install the 4 AA batteries (included, which is nice) and reinstall the cover. Operation consists of pulling the trigger and letting go to click it on, and doing the same to click it off. There is no trigger lock but it is not needed since the trigger automatically locks itself on or off after it is released.

Closer up shot revealing the optics. Look through the top dome shaped lens and you will see the reflector and small optic above the emitter. Note: the circular "lines" on the front are part of the outer optic lens.
This shot is to demonstrate battery installation. Two batteries are installed while the other two are taken out to show the compartment. The sliding cover is on the ground next to the light:

Finally, I am very pleased with this light, give it a 5 star rating, and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a powerful budget spotlight with long runtime or for a gift. This light's beam is very wide and gives great illumination for quite a long distance (over 100 yards) in a totally dark area.
