Just to throw out another option for those who may read this thread looking for something similar to the OP:
I have really enjoyed using my new Quark AA^2 Tactical with the free included Prism kit. The kit included the prism attachment, a head band, and best of all IMO was the diffuser filter to snap inside the prism. The diffuser turned the light into an awesome flood light.
I have used the set up to read my daughter her bedtime stories, take the dog out, and just today I took apart my PS3 controller to clean off the buttons after my 11 month old decided to soak it with apple juice and make the buttons stick. Setting the Quark to High mode with the completely even flood of light made the controller job so much easier to see all the little pieces.
At night I can use moonlight mode to read books to my daughter with no problem. The fact that the light will run for 30 days straight on that setting means I will be able to do a lot of reading before I ever have to think about changing the batteries.
I highly recommend trying the Quark series out. Currently the AA^2 Tactical R2's are still in stock and they are on sale. They include the Prism kit for free. Thats a lot of accessories to come with a light for less than $50 with the CPF discout code! Holster, lanyard, silicone hand grip, head band, prism, diffuser filter, batteries, and spare o rings.
