I have a MagicShine with the new Cree LM2 emitters. It spews out a lot of light. I can melt ice off trees and scare turkeys off roost in the middle of the night. The lowest setting is more than sufficient for me. I don't hate it BUT I am considering the Fenix BT20 or BTR20 for $90 and $140 respectively. The Fenix lights have some focussing that directs the light to the road (unlike Magic SHine and the clones), they put out 800 honest, verified lumens, and most importantly are the battery options. Two 18650 batteries. The BT20 can also take 4 123 lithiums. So, it is easy to carry backups. Decent runtimes. I am sure I will buy one of these two models just for fun. As a self contained battery and light unit, Peter White's website has some german lights that also have good lenses and he was blowing last year's model out at under 100 bucks.
