Hi Bram!
I know it is not the quality of Fenix,but I bought one of these 300 lumen led lights from China and I use it every night when walking the dogs. We now live in a VERY rural setting. Corn fields every way you look and I have 2 black dogs!
I needed a bright light. For $20.00 including shipping I feel I got my moneys worth. It throws a solid WHITE beam for about 100 yards before fading. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I know it's from China and I am sure if I take a bath with it I will have a broken light,but for what I need I find it more than adequate. It is BLINDING bright! I does temporarily blind you when you shine it in your eyes for a second. Of course I tried it! I wouldn't know if I hadn't!
Just thought I'd offer a cheap alternative to you.
They also make a SIX HUNDRED LUMEN light!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
600 lumen's!!!!! I WILL have one this Spring. Just because i want to say i have a small 600 lumen light that will make you blind if I shine it in your eyes! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
