I ordered one from cabelas, but called today to talk to the product specialist, unlike the jon e hand warmer, he seemed to know about lights.
Long story short he agreed as far as led lamps were concerned that were compact the xpg 5 watt was best over all in power and run time.
When it came to brightness he said leds were never as bright as a standard bulb and further more, the 20 led unit they sell was brighter than the xpg.
I then told him I have a few led lamps and they are mainly dim to the point you can look directly into it and not get blinded or blink. I asked if that was the case with this, he did say no and reverted to teh fact it was bright, but I almost feel like I made a mistake ordering it.
Are these $100 led flashlights effing bright, freaking bright, or yeah, thats bright man, but my dollar store light is brighter.
