Ok back to the NiMh power flashlights I’ve been looking at. Lots of nice suggestion, but I think overall I like the look of these ideas at present.
What do you guys think would be the better light overall?

L2R = $15.99
XP-G drop in = $12.99
Shipping = $2.00
TOTAL = $30.98
or

Do you reckon the Shadow is worth the extra money? It looks nice in the pics, but is it really likely to out perform the Solarforce?
Thanks.
