First off, thanks for everyone's input, appreciate it.

Intended uses; no need for freezing or gloved use, yes to adjustable levels, yes to waterproof, yes to adjustable angle, don't mind a little weight, would like it to use either regular or rechargeable batteries, definitely wan't it to be pretty bright. Don't want it to be out-dated by next year.

Side note, a friend has 2 Princeton Tec Eos's, 08' & 09 (or 09' & 10') and the newer one seems twice as bright as the previous years model. Tested them side by side last night. Pretty crazy.

Thanks again,
JD
