Heads up Aldi have some in their thurs specials 10W crees !!! they are BRIGHT it is like having a main beam head light in your hands.
3 x C cells in black or silver
duracell pack of 2= £2.29 or aldis £1 .90 or you can get c rechargable
I have a 3w cree that runs off 1XAA lasted about 4 hrs
I have got a few of those and this is comparable light output if not brighter but the halogens suck the batteries and they have lost power in ten minutes, I wanted a supper bright light for marshalling and speckying on rallies that I could fit in a pocket not to heavy, last a few hours and just go and buy some power from a garage if needed, its light to me, is a pure white.I've also got a QI lantern with a 55W bulb, which really is like having a car headlamp in your hand, and a 10W one with a QI bulb which I bought because it was £2 in B&Q - they'd lost the charger. I figured that the 10W one was worth buying for the battery alone. Both of these have lead acid gel batteries which are a pain because they absolutely have to be kept fully charged all the time or they lose capacity.
