It's a spot beam David (non adjustable), like a flashlight. That was the only bad thing I saw so far, I'm suspecting the battery life is probably going to be not that great with all the power, but I'm running rechargeable with a 15 min recharger and 2 sets of batteries at work due to I will use the light 8 hours a day on constantly. So I should get an idea on battery life soon but it's too early to know if it is viable for camping or what have you with the battery life.
