alright -can I ask you guys for a little bit of help? i do need to upgrade my kit and get a new flashlight.

considering the lights mentioned above ... which one has the following:
1) A very robust case (metal, or extremely strong polymer)
2) Gives a very bright light that will disorient you in the dark
3) Doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Just a leg, maybe :-)

thanks,
Pete2
