So we have a recommendation for a Brinkman and an Acebeam W30. All the rest are rechargeable or mounted (which I specifically stated I didn't want).

I'm not familiar with the Acebeam and will look into them but I've had Brinkman's before and while they're okay they aren't great. There has to be a hand held plug in spot light with a Cree bulb or similar made these days that will WOW you.

Dillonbuck I'll check those ones at Grice's out but they all look like they have a halogen bulb. They would be good but not great I'd think.
