mcl2u, are you referring to lights putting out high lumens?

I don't have the Lightwave C4, but I agree with Bernhard on the Streamlight 4AA 7LED and the Opalec NewBeam.

I think the 4AA UK eLED has a pretty nice amount of flood for a light with also a decent amount of throw, plus all its other attributes.

I'm just confused by all the info. Certain leds are better for beams and others for flood. It's fun and also frustrating trying to figure all this out. I'd like a light that could light up a backyard.

It soulds like you need a 3 or 4 cell, with C or D batteries and three or more Luxeons.
ElektroLumens and Inretech make lights like this.

Have you checked out the Streamlight JR. Luxeon (AAx2)---a very nice flood beam, slick little light, nice metal case, and < $30----?

Re: Best flood not using 123\'s
A little more research in to this and i think my wants for a light have to be scaled back. I want a smaller light that has good runtime and a decent amount of light. Lighting up a backyard is beyond the size light i want and dollars that i want to spend.

Elektrolumens FT3C or Tri-Star Phazer are what you're looking for, then - heavy they may be, but they use commonly available C cells.
If you want a small light that'll make a small beam, then look at the StreamLight Junior Luxeon. Or maybe the XM-2 or XM-3 from Elektrolumens. If you want 'light up the yard', you will NEED much more energy than is available in an AA-cell.

Trio's runtime:
80 hours (claimed): 10 hours at a bright level and 70 hours at a very dim level afterwards
LX 3.0's runtime:
50 hours (claimed): 4 hours at a bright level and 46 hours at at steadily dimming level afterwards
I'd probably go with the Streamlight, or maybe an Eternalight.

If you are looking to save a few bucks...try a McFlood in "something"?
Don's come up with some amazing items, but the McFlood should be nominated for "something"...I just like putting "quotes" on "something" tonight!
Just "scanned" through the thread...didn't see anyone suggesting the Gerber Trios! GREAT AA torch for $20 at Brightguy.com!! Check it out!

In that case, I heartily recommend the Eternalight Marine if you don't want to get TOO fancy - or if you're willing to splurge on a really feature-packed light with multiple levels of regulation, all the features of the Marine, and a magnet for attaching to metallic surfaces.. try the EliteMax.
