i have a new sunwayman m10a aa light. it has 3 brightness settings. I think the 4 lumen setting is great for looking at maps while on the trail - you can check the map without blinding yourself. in addition, at the campsite 4 lumen is just right fro most tasks. when i hike at night the 40 lumen setting does a nice job at lighting up the trail.
Amazingly i can go on a 3-5 day trek and 1 battery is all i need - fantastic.
Here's the rub. I just don't see that much difference between the 40 lumen setting and the 140 lumen setting. i use a regular alkaline duracel battery. is there perhaps a better battery that i should be using? i expect to see a notable difference between the 40 lumen and 140 lumen setting and i really don't see one.
