LED rechargeable lamp advice needed

G'day guys

Justin here, from Australia. Seeking some advice from the Brit cousins

I'm looking to purchase another spotlight for fox shooting down this way and have read quite a bit of info here on the various new generation of torches, etc (I own a NM800 IR for NV shooting) but not so much on the pistol-grip type spotlights (such as the LF 140/170 range).

I've used the Lightforce 170 with HID element and now I'd like something similar in size, or perhaps smaller, traditional pistol grip design, preferably with a more aspherical lens assembly (not a deal breaker) based on LED tech and utilising built-in Lithium rechargeables. In short, a small, cordless pistol grip type LED lamp Would like as much throw as possible, with minimum leakage, preferably to be able to identify targets at 250-300m

Have looked at the Deben stingray, as I could put a grip on that utilising the built in rail on the bottom but there's not a lot of info on these lights.

Willing to spend on the right option. Buy once, cry once, etc.

Maybe a tall order but thought I'd ask?

Opinions/advice appreciated.

No one makes such a thing, I have been talking to many of the manufactures to try and get such a lamp made but I'm not doing too well. We will be making a prototype this year then try to get it manufactured. I already use a 66mm lensed torch I made myself for lamping, easily spots Fox eye shine past 400 yards and runs on 2 18650 batteries that last all night.
