I need suggestions for first led flashlight

[Raven]

I was thinking about this:

I think it's a good fit for me, because:

I've ordered from brightguy before
It uses aa batteries - like most of my electronics
It's a major brand - streamlight
It's not terribly expensive

I basically want a medium sized light that can perform the same task that I use my UKA (4 aa) for, except hopefully I can get more life out of my batteries with an led.

Any opinions or suggestions would be welcome.

That is a lovely area light but its peak output is only about 15% of the UKE 4AA.

There is enough more light out of the Streamlight 3C that made me select that for the general utility flashlight around my house (I bought 5 3C and 3 4AA).

The Arc sLS is brighter than either SL unit, but the SL 3C has much more light output over a broader pattern than the Luxeons.

I do sympathize with the AA battery need, so that my over-ride the light output. I bought mine from BG as well.

Good luck!
