I checked out a couple of the big box stores and found Coleman, which is probably very similar, but at pretty much the same price, I figured I'd get something that had a solid recommendation.

If their lights are as good as the rest of their stuff you are in good hands! Most of my climbing stuff is petzl, so you could say I trust them with my life...

Petzls are great lights, but for more output, you have pay and arm and leg for it. I can't break my $30-40 Petzls lamps but they are low power.

I bet my petzls are 15 years old. Tuff stuff.
