do I need a hid?

I bought a tr 3t6 from china for less than 20buck. It was sure fun as I was able to light up the whole building with it.

Now my wife is going china again. I was thinking whether should I get a hid as I heard good things about it. How will the performance be compared to my 3t6?

Just realised the hid in taobao 85w cost 500yuan. Was shocked that the battery cost 300 yuan alone.

How will this hid compare to skyray 9xt6? Should I get the plunge to get this torch?

Why not consider a small HID which use 4 x 18650s like :

1) Firefoxes FF3 40W HID 4000-Lumen 4x18650 at $270
