I agree. for the money it's hard to beat in the AA flashlight category. Mounted with a two fish lock block, It gets decent run time, and works great in the rain and sub-freezing temperatures. I'm sure the XM-L T6 is a fine light for the price. And I thought about buying one. But I don't care for the battery pack. The ease of use, quality performance and low price of the Terralux keeps me a satisfied flashlight user. IMO the Terralux outperforms your high priced tactical flashlight anyday.
