New to HID, coming from LED world

[gchronis]

Hi all,

I was just looking for a light more powerful than an LED. I love my LED's, don't take me wrong, for their advantages (have a DBS, C2H, RC-N3, M20 and a SF C2 w/ M60L). I wanted to see what thousands of lumens look like, though, instead of hundreds. I see a lot of comparison shots here, but prices range a lot and they were not included in the shots.

I am looking for a bright light around $500 (cheaper doesn't hurt :laughing that is portable and hopefully focusable, so that I can adjust flood and range (unless there is some problem with focusable lights that I don't know about). Common batteries would be a plus, but I see most of the HID's have proprietary batteries.

Here are two I came up with: AE Xenide 25W and Microfire Warrior III. By the way, is this store any good? http://thesportsoutdoorstore.com/ccp0-prodshow/MOPK-3500R.html

Thanks, g.

Cool! I'm adding the Boxer 24W and the Shark-1 on my list of lights to check out/read reviews. Thanks, Norm!

I have the X990 35W and love it. It has a nice color temp - not as blueish as some others, focusable too.
There are plenty of reviews on CPF for this light. Just do a search for "x990".
