Hi, I'm Dan from the UK. I've had a obession with lights for aslong as I can remember, I thought I was the only one 'till I found this forum a few months ago, I used to have a large collection but the only surving ones I have are maglites... around 6.
I've just come back from the tunnel and I only went 100 yards in and had to come out because my 2aa maglite with the terralux cree bulb wasnt good enough. It's been brillaint for searching buildings etc but it was next to useless in the tunnel which is about 10m wide and 10m high.
I think a 1 million candle power torch will do the job but I have a 6d maglite and seen the expensive terralux conversion for it, the 600 lumen one and wondered if this would be brighter. I'm not sure which to buy, or if to get something differnt all together. I need to be able to carry it for a few miles, I've seen the cree bulb that I've got in my 2aa is also avalible for the 3d which I also have, I was thinking the extra cell and the bigger head would make it good enough to go into the tunnel with but I'm not sure, want to keep under £50/$80 ish, for now,
