Thanks for the welcome. I plan to use it for edc. I work until 1 a.m., and sometimes a light would come in handy on my way home from work. It would be quick uses, not lots of operation at any one time. I would prefer to have batteries that last a while. We lose power for 30 minutes to an hour a couple of nights a year at the office because of storms. I don't want to grab the torch and have it be out of juice.
As a newbie, I'm still not completely savvy with the lingo, so it's sometimes difficult for me to compare reviews and get a feel for what's better or what's worse.
