Man, look..........I was in the same spot you were in. Just couldn't justify spending the money on a Rigid. I bought a cheaper light and the first time it rained, it fogged up on me and had condensation inside (of course it had the warranty and was 'waterproof', etc....). Even with the warranty and all of that, who wants to go through the trouble of removing it from the truck, mailing it back, or whatever. The company I bought it from was good about it and said "you pay the shipping and we will replace it for no extra charge"........which I did, but I had no intention of having to go through all of that crap again. So, I ordered me a Rigid and I will give the damaged one to my teenage son, who could care less about a little condensation, and maybe I will sell the other one.......
Do yourself a favor and just get the Rigid. Save yourself the time and trouble.
