Thanks Gadgetman I was wondering which headlamp to order. Have you tried any focus-able LED hand held touches worth mentioning?

These are pretty good. The clicky bit on the hinge often fails, but a blob of bluetac holds them up.
Cheap Flood-to-Throw 3-Mode Cree Q3 LED Headlamp (1*18650)
They are not as bright and nowhere near the range of the others above which can be de-domed.
There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
The Nitecore SRT7 is a smaller lower powered light - specs:
"Utilizes the latest CREE XM-L (XM-L2 T6) LED for a maximum output of up to 960 lumens, and boasts a peak beam intensity of 23,256cd and throw distance of up to 308 meters (ANSI FL1) "
By comparison the Maxtoch M24 is about 85,000cd (or 85k lux), and the 2X is 122,000cd standard. Dedomed they jump to about 170-190k and 290-300k.
The SRT7 does have an XML2 Led but its an older one - the T6. Ask gadgetman nicely and he may be able to fit an XML2-U2 upgrade and dedome it - and then you'd be looking at 50-60,000cd - and that's very useful light for hunting.
Yes I'd guess its worth it.
