Thanks for the review!

How do you find the beam with those lensed LEDs? I'd prefer not to have the focused light, but maybe I can diffuse the surface a bit. I think I'll pick one up over the weekend and give it a whirl.

I have two of those. Bought one for myself as a reading light, dad liked it so much he bought one too from Target. At close range the lights look like head lights, as you increase distance it looks like one beam.

The red beam is brighter than the whites.
