  the torch seems a little expensive for 3 x x-ml t6, but i have never heard of xm-l2
  as far a batteries go im only down with the 18650s and would only buy panasonic batteries but i heard there are a few other reputable brands such as sanyo possibly soshine. i have a soshine charger and it works well. i'd be a little hesistant with anything trustfire as i have only had bad experiences quality wise. i had a skyfire that probably lasted the longest (6 months) that was a t4000 with a 3 x xm-l setup and it was extremely bright with a flood beam that comfortably went about 200m. here's a little about the xm-l2 from the cree website. basically read some forums and see whats selling the most on ebay or aliexpress

  Some of the banggood torch deals have been okay.

  One of the torches I got from them would make astronauts at the international space station squint if I pointed it at them :)

  The maglite is strong, well made and will take a good beating but they are not that bright(LED versions are not too bad).

  Maglite 3D LED is available for $37 from Bunnings, this would be my pick for security work as it could be used as a weapon.

  You can also purchase belt loops for these so it will hang from his belt for easy access and easy removal.

  A lot better built than many of the torches available and takes off the shelf D cell batteries. He could carry a smaller torch with rechargeable batteries for regular usage (The EA4 or EA8 is an excellent choice here - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/110909) and just use the Maglite as a backup as it will always work.
