search n rescue type work is an interesting one...for straight tracking the M2 archer is too much torch....gone back to older less potent model....common as muck lenser.....
four AAAs is ok,pain in arse to change...but thats what single AAA coast light is for..along with sound light line type stuff,that one lives on lanyard around my neck....
bought a big torch from bargain bin in bunnings years back...similar size to old dolphin lantern...rechargable and it has pencil beam...good on game at 4-500 yards but hopeless for spotting..pencil beams work off back of ute if one person has it and adds light on animal help in bigger /wider light....
got a single AA light off trademe..waterproof...picture is in cup of water...its output is dismal BUT it is reliable and has just enough light to be useful.....a better light with similar size and single AA power would be ideal....
you fellas havent lived untill you have tried spotlighting with mini maglite....or hella big blue inspection light powered by truck battery in a wheel barrow.....you only put battery in frame pack ONCE.....
