I bought more than 10 CREE 8 torchlight from Beijing since August..
still happy with it, mainly for my cycling purpose but now also carry it along everywhere I go (used to be one small maglite for past 10 years)
the distance? more than 160m! tried and confirmed :-)
price? get from online there hence cheaper..i think most important i make sure all using 18650 rechargeable battery.
