Powerful Spotlight???
 
I'm trying to find a spotlight which will work both on and off the
boat... hopefully a long-lasting rechargeable light with 2 million
candlepower or more.

I was already lured by the price of the "Vector 2,000,000
Candlepower", but its build and power leave a lot to be desired. I'm
hoping for something significantly better.

Can anyone provide any recommendation?

Thanks.

My recommendation is to first think about whether you REALLY
need that bright of a light. Myself, I don't intend to go that
high again. Although I'm not using it on a boat, I cannot
imagine needing more than that in a portable unit. The brighter
you go, the larger the battery AND reduced time before needing a
recharge. The difference in brightness between 500K and 2 million
is significant, but the 10 to 15 minute max use with my 2 million
cp unit is what put me off on it. To get one that will give you
any decent amount of use-time, you probably wouldn't want to carry
it around anyway. :^) If you really need more power, I noticed
that Wallyworld now has a 3.5 million candlepower unit. I think it
was around $35. Oughta last at least 3-5 minutes of use between
recharges. :^)

I have a Vector 20000000???/ And I love it. Battery last quite a while, It
has a cigarette adapter to charge and use. I've owned it for about 5 years.
And I abuse it, but it still works great.
Thats my 2 cents.
