Hey there Jago -
At the price, you won't have gone wrong with your decision. And as you see, this stuff can get mildly addictive!
Just to emphasize some other replies, I find that small *low output* lights with one brightness level are just fine and very useful, my favorite being the Arc AAA. Medium output floods like the Peak McKinley and Inova X5 often are a good general choice. But high output lights with only one level are definitely *special purpose* lights for me. Great for looking down a monitoring well, spotlighting wildlife, that sort of thing. For frequent and unforseen uses, if a light offers the option of lots of candlepower, it better have one or more low-level options too...because that's what I'll use most of the time. YMMV, just offered as food for thought.
BTW, the HDS basic 60 is great. If you think you might have a reasonable likelihood of losing it, this will definitely give you heartburn. When I first saw it, I figured I never no way would spend that much. But really, it provides so much versatility (including use of rechargeable lithium ion batteries) that it can cover almost any situation, and that is very attractive.
Glad you are here.
