Should have Li-Ion battery, with good life, and be rechargeable. Saw a
nice bike light, but would like this to be hand-held. Would prefer
flood to spot, high lumen.

Battery use is quite less with Led, last winter I bought about 10
cheap and one good HD led flashlights, I keep them everywhere but only
have changed batteries in a few of them, For a boat and ocasional use
recharageables go dead in less than 1 year, alkalines can sit for 3-5
years and still work in Led lights, I would only want recharageable
lights if I used them at least weekly, Ive been the recharageable
light rout for 15 years, mine are usualy dead when I need them. Leds
fire on much less current then regular bulbs, even my super bright Led
bike light used daily still has the same batteries I got for it in
maybe June, try a 25$ 3w-100 lumen alkaline powered flashlight, you
will be suprised. Even the cheap .25 w lights are only about 1.25$
each at HD, I have them everywhere even my jackets.
