Myke - I got them this weekend. They are really bright and throw pretty far, I tested it out my window and they will light the building across the avenue. The light itself seems sturdy enough, I would have liked to see a larger attachment point for a small biner or some 550 cord.
The 3A battery set-up is new to me. I've no other 3A lights and will test to see how long they last. I am turning the light on now and will leave it til the batteries expire.
Once again thanks for the info.
