Led's don't quit match the shear light out put of standard bulbs or high power bulbs. They do have the advantage of being much more power effecent and are more rugged.
My daughters love playing with flashlights, but they trashed the Rayovacs Grandpa got them. I just found a Dorcy LED AAA at Wal-Mart for $5.94. It's aluminum body, and with only one battery to recharge (when they fall asleep with it on) and the LED bulb (hopefully they don't find a way to break that!) I got two. The output seems like it's brighter than my Gerber Infinity Ultra, but I can't test them side by side, because the Infinity is in the repair shop <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
For the price, I thought it couldn't be beat, for what I wanted it for, and so far so good. I'm thinking about getting one of th $13 Dorcy LED's for the bedside.
Pretty sure it's not weather resistant, but hopefully that will never be an issue in the house!
