I live in Maine and run hounds 3-4 nights a week. I do not think you can beat a DD 3C mag w/ 3watt lux. I have had to build 5-6 of these things for exeryone that has seen it! It is unbelievably bright, good run time, and the dimminishing output never leaves you stranded in the dark!
I used to replace my stock mag batteries every 2-3 weeks, and that was suffering with a dingy brown/amber colored light for a week and a half..... This thing has ubelievable throw and the white light is awesome...everyone seems to prefer the TWAK/TWOK binned emitters for color.
The 3C won't run as long as the 3D, but it's a nice size you can fit in your back/front pocket if need be. Battery life with occasional usage will be in the months, not days!
I believe 3rd_shift is making these now at a good price. He won't be disappointed, I promise.
