I am really looking for a shaped beam. If I want unshaped, I'll just go with one of the newer 2 beam lights. The Mega Drive is out in my books because it's one piece, so I can't just swap batteries if they die. A 1.3 hour runtime is pretty poor too.

I was looking at the MJ-880 and similar lights yesterday, but it really seems to me that at that intensity, I really don't want an unshaped beam. But the lights with shaped beams all have issues (to me) like the light deciding that I would rather have 30 minutes more run time than a bright light. *I* will damned well decide when I will turn the light down - if the light wants to start flashing the power level at me telling me I'm running low, and *I* will decide whether to drop to lower power, that's fine.
