I am tempted by
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130465041661&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I will only be using it every now and then - whole months could go by and it will stay dark. The main use will be illuminate objects/people/things on hillsides as I have proximity lighting sorted with a pair of 300 lumen floods on my rucksack harness - they are running on AAs, alkalines or NimH
Now the questions:
I have never used Li rechargables and the stories of explosions and fires scare me - this unit runs on them so I would have to get two and a charger as well. How do they take to being left unloved for months at a time?
Am I actually just complicating matters?
Should I just go for http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290537520431&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
instead.
Afterall, I already have rechargable AA cells, charger and am comfortable with it. Will the extra 100 lumen really make that much of a difference?
