I thought they were pretty good. I hope you and others find them worthy and/or helpful.

I am going camping in a few days and decided to look into these lights. I felt I wanted something more effecient and lighter than old CC and DD lights. But, I didn't have a basis for comparison on what the different lumens rating equated to.
I thought those videos helped me a lot for getting a feel on how these Higher end LED compared to regular flashlights.

I have a Dewalt 12 volt battery/light kit that I always felt was a great light for around the house. Very strong light, but more than I need for most situations. But, it is also WAY too heavy to tote around short of around the house or similar. I found it puts out 281 lumens. It doesn't last as long as most of these LED and it has a comparably HUGE 12 volt battery - 0.5 - 1.0 pounds or whatever that battery weighs.

Half of that amount of light out-put is plenty for most applications.

Then those videos showed the piddly Maglite [email]2@AA[/email] light. These "Smaller", lighter LEDs are WAY more powerfull than the old [email]2@AA[/email] Maglite. That video put some things in perspective.

On the other hand, Maglite is making a 3 watt LED now that I was curious about. But, I couldn't find ANY info about lumens or run time. I just kind of felt I should go with something highly recommended by others. I haven't seen much info or recommendations about the Maglight 3 watt LED (????)

If I remember correctly, I think that guy "Doc" shows a 4D Maglite that doesn't look as strong as most of the LEDs he showed. I am not so sure about that (????).
