Although LED bulbs are well known for their long life, cool operation, and low power consumption, the trade-off is their relatively weak light intensity. The exception is the new 1-Watt Luxeon LED, however its higher output results in higher power consumption. As a rule of thumb, LED bulbs consume 1/10th the amount of power in producing an equivalent amount of light to a standard incandescent bulb.
Old flashlights with their standard incandescent bulbs could cast a beam of light across the yard, but they produce a blotchy beam, & drain batteries in only a few hours. Halogen bulbs are perhaps the best compromise between energy use and beam intensity. In fact Xenon bulbs like the one featured in the Freeplay Sherpa are brighter than ordinary incandescents, have a whiter spectrum and use typically 50% less power. The result is if you are looking for a flashlight that can cast a beam across a yard, a flashlight like the Freeplay Sherpa will do the job very well. If you are looking for an emergency light, or one for use inside the house, then an LED flashlight will probably be adequate.
