I have a LED Lenser H14, (4 AA batteries)
I bought it several years ago for several hundred quid. It has a fantastic light 850 lumens, great zoom.
I went for the battery version because I envisaged sessions of several hours and wanted to carry spares.
It also has an extension cable so I can put the battery case on my belt or in my pack, and even a handlebar mount.
However, the batteries don't last all that long, one three hour trip and its warning me of battery failure.
I use it for camping, running, walking, Alpine starts (and finishes!)
So what's better on the market nowadays. Things seem cheaper. Lighter would be nice, but not dimmer.
Batteries or rechargeable?
All suggestions and recommendations welcome.
