the tiablo A9 on ebay and aspherical kit ,would still be cheaper than a deben set up..and yes you need batteries..and a charger.

I paid about 55 quid for the torch, lens, 2 batteries and charger.
I'm well pleased with mine, it will throw a really tight beam farther than I will ever need as I walk scrubland rather than big fields.
I'm no expert but would guess it wouldn't suit everyone, but it will light rabbits up easily at 50 yards and I can fit torch and spare batteries in one pocket
Tom.
were did you buy from Tom? i just got a price of £70+ for torch-
