    I went with a Maxtoch 2X with a new driver board so I can use 7V - 20V input. Gives me 4 modes instead of the maxtoch 3 mode driver. Additional mode is moonlight mode, which is enough to read my watch, reload a magazine etc. I also wired it up so it uses a LiPo 16000MaH battery for a whole week of light without a recharge.
    It's rifle mounted, with the battery in my backpack.
    The additional range of the 2X is used to ensure a clear firing zone - I hunt around orchards, and some of the neighbors have stock.
    Never tried it from a vehicle, but it's been a rock solid performer for shooting rabbits and hares for the last few years. Previous to that I was using a 150mm 35W HID, which in comparison was rubbish. It was heavy, hummed, got hot, chewed battery, and the colour was too white.

    It pays to put something on the clips or the inside of the bonnet to act as insulation though as I know a few people who have had some interesting times to say the least when the clips weld themslves to the bonnet.

    if its just possums there are a few rechargeable ones out with a pretty decent output and 3-4 hour run time under a hundy. nice little lights too.
    Night sabre do one but would have to go look at the box in the shed to check output.
