I finally purchased a higher powered flashlight.
WOW, that is about 10 times brighter than my big Maglight! Of course, the Maglight is a tactical light and a weapon. If I hit someone with this LEDLenser they would get mad and hit me back. But, it is bright and has a clever, one hand focus system.

It is non-rechargable, battery powered and did I mention it is BRIGHT?
They have many other models but I chose this one for compactness and brightness. It is available for ~$60 on ebay.
Now I just have to wait for it to get dark.
