Yep, times have changed for the better.

How's the battery life? Are they about the size of the three pack ones, or much bigger? Do you have the ability to compare them to, say, the 200 lumen lights that proliferate for about $30?

I'm thinking about taking the plunge on them, but $100 is a lot unless I'm sure they'll do the job, though I guess I could just do it, and return them if I'm not pleased :-/.
I've read they come with an 18650 battery (I think 1 per light) but no charger. You can get a charger on your own, the electronics forum would know what to get there.
