I'm looking for a small LED for illuminating the footpath on nighttime hikes. I will be carrying a Pelican M6 incand. for spotlighting the critters, so this is just to avoid stepping on the diamondbacks (they do hunt at night, you know!).
My criteria are fairly strict---something about the diameter of my trusty CMG Infinity Ultra-G (~.75 "), but can be a little longer (up to ~4-4.5"). As much as I love my Ultra-G, I need a bit more light. My first try was an "Xnova" clone, which is fine size-wise (a little bigger than the Ultra-G), but the 5 LEDs put out, if anything, less light than the Ultra-G, with a lot less burn-time!
I want either AA (cheap) or CR123 (can use the "tired" cells from the M6). Cost is a factor, so those beautiful little Peak LED solutions models might not work (but if they're really great, come on, talk me in to it).
Would very much appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.
