    Get something that uses the rechargeable 18650 batteries as they have a greater energy density. Most of the batteries that come with the kits are a bit average, or slightly below but the rest works well.

    Will have to say that my Maxtoch M24 with the Panasonic rechargeable batteries way out does my LED lenser. Better distance and beam and able to pick outa lot more detail as well.
    Yep they are a bit hungry on power but well worth the trade off. I have mine mounted on the front left side, on a mount off my Laser (Laser is set for close range for possums in trees), and it balances the 10/22 nicely.
    I just extend my finger on my left hand and its on or off and I'm still in a good firing stance with my eye to the scope.

    Good feedback all. I own a H14 torch, sits on scope and it's ok. It works.
    These M24's sound better. Better is best.
    I'll have to ask gadgetman nicely to dedome it when I can finally afford one...

    I think Amanda from Maxtoch told me any purchases through aliexpress now automatically come fast airmail with china post. This seems to be happening as I'm getting stuff in 8-14 days now instead of 3-8 weeks. In terms of batts I'd still be trying FastTech - pretty reliable outfit.

    That new one you have on order seems (on paper) to have a ton more out put then your older one... Will be very interested in the actual result once it arrives in country.

    I've given up looking. There just doesn't seem to be any comparable non white LED's available.

    maybe 40m. Enough for bunnies with subs at night.
    They sit on. Don't run.

    You can get a thrower lens too
