I have a Wolf Eyes Nite Hunter torch from http://wolfeyes.com.au/torches-flashlights/. Bought it at last years Shot Show in Sydney and so far has performed above expectations. Batteries last well over 1 hr on full power and plenty of light out to 100m though much past that the light starts to spread out a bit though is still quite usable to spot eyes. It came with 2 batteries and I bought another 2 high capacity ones and all 4 still going strong over a year later. It came with a remote switch and mount for picatinny rail. Well made unit and I'm happy to recommend them.

What rifle are you setting it on?

On my 223rem I use Olight M3X Triton. Good for shooting out to 200m+
Also use an Olight M22 on the 22lr and it maxes out for positive target ID at about 100m but i only shoot with 22lr out to around 70 or maybe 80m.

Both good torches worth looking at. Battery charge life is good. Buy good batteries and charger!

I use a lightforce pred 9x. I've had plenty of others but I just end up using them as torches. Pretty tight beam though. Comes with a red lens that the bunnies don't mind but it looses a bit of penetration.

Highly recommend Eagletac g25C2 mk2.
With 2 x 18650 batteries on full power, will produce over 1000lm for about 3 hours and reach up to a good 500m.

There are accessories to buy with it like a foldable lense filter

Well worth it.

I have two Led Lenser.

Full size - M14
Pocket size - P5.2

Both great for lumens, throw and battery life given their size/cost.
