2)Or the well known Mag rechargeable

Which is a better all round torch?

What do you need it for? Pure throw? Does it have to be rechargeable?
I would suggest A normal 3C maglite with one of THESE. They are very well made, and should give you 6+ hours of runtime. I don't really know much about the options of D rechargeables are, but I know that there are options. Some of the other people on this forum probably can tell you what they are.
Apparently there are a lot of mods for the Magcharger, so that is also an option if you get one of those.

To answer the question asked: Magcharger.

Much more room for upgrades later, and it's about twice as bright (I think) stock. There's a great thread on how to upgrade a Magcharger that I cant find (well, don't want to find @ 4:30 AM). Simplest being the Mag61, a simple bulb swap with a layer of mica sheet to keep the switch mechanism cool. Takes two minutes, doubles the output.

Any of the slim/pistol grip spotlights I have seen are pathetic at best,even those that claim 1,000,000 candlepower.Earlier this evening I was out in the bush (this is Canada;there is bush everywhere!)and I decided to test my new Dereelight CL1H V4 MC-E (400+ Lumens) against my Magcharger with a Phillips 5761 bulb.Long story short:the mag has 3x the throw and 2x the spill!!!But of course the mag is 2.5x the length and 4x the weight.The Magcharger has been around for 20-30 years and can still kick the crap out of any LED with a little upgrade!!!

The Mag-charger... why? because it's brighter and it's Maglite! :thumbsup:

What are you going to use the light for?

I haven't see reviews of the Energizer light so I don't know how well it works or how bright it is.

There's no comparison. The Mag-charger for sure.

The spotlight runs for three hours at ... oh dear, that's minutes, not lumens. At probably 250 lumens, tops. Real world, probably less than 200 lumens from a single-core Cree. But they don't tell you what you're getting, which scares me. How much is this spotlight? Nevermind, just found the price. Owch. Magcharger's more bang for the buck.
