And everything you say is quite true. The wolf eyes is by far a better torch, but for me it all comes down to the cost. I know the Romisen will at some time let me down with as you say "it dying 500m from the car".
I guess I'll just have to buy a back up
Any time I do venture out after dark in the bush in the past I've always used my 3D maglite (now 20years old) and to be quite honest it's crap. The batteries last half an hour tops before it gets slowly dimmer, I've learnt to always care a spare torch, in the past it was a minimag that was useful just to get me home safe. I've recently got a smaller AA led torch about half the size of the minimag and only a fraction of the weight so I carry that.
Nearly all of my previous after dark hunting in the past was with vehicle mounted spotlight (I'll have to post a pic of my spotlight mount that was made from the front half of a mountain bike)
After reading the adventure others are having spotlighting with torches on foot I though I'd give it a go and this torch was a cheap way of doing it.
But there is noway I'd depend on it as my only source of light away from a vehicle at night, imagine what everybody would say when I told them "I broke my leg on a bunny hunting trip when the light died and I stepped in a rabbit burrow"
