I'm curious, Dennis; how come no rechargeable or battery lamps? There's no doubt that the 12V halogen lights with the automotive type lamp/reflector assemblies give the best long distance narrow beam light, but I much prefer the units with the small rechargeable lead acid batteries. I did see a couple of super LED battery operated lights at the outdoor show this weekend past, but they were around $200 a pop. I find that I don't use flashlights very often. Spreader lights are a great convenience.
