Subject: Re: Lightwave LED lights
Michael,

I think you might have been looking at the wrong page.  They do have a light
rated to 300' with a Lexan body and 1 LED (100 hrs), 2 LEDs (50 hrs) to 3 LEDs
(25 hrs).

    http://www.theledlight.com/100000hour.html

Someone told me recently (actually today) that they had an LED light and that it
was not as bright as a normal light.  If that is true, the life of the battery
is not as important as how bright it is.  Either way, neat idea and good price.
