Looking for a good flashlight for boating

[brendon7358]

Hello I am looking for a good flashlight which I will use for boating (looking for buoys, crabbing etc) currently I have an ultrafire WF-501B which although is very bright and gets the job done indoors it would not work for boating, I also have a 24W Xenon HID Torch which although would get the job done very well, it uses its own special battery that I can not find anywhere sold separately, and it only lasts 1 hour which is fine when I'm at home but If I was going out for a weekend or even a week with no means of charging it, it would be useless. So what I am looking for is something with at least 1000 lumens (preferably focusable) and uses a battery I can buy a few of separately and/or has around 10 hours of battery life. I would rather it not cost any more than $150, and it would be nice if it was waterproof although it's ok if it's not. So in summary,

I Need

1000+ lumens
Good battery life
$150>

I would like (although not required)

Waterproof
Focusable
Comes with case
Uses a Battery I can buy separately

He wanted a flashlight, not an air-raid search-light.

It has moonlight mode. Only 0.5 Lumen and last 2000 hours.
Nice for a romantic boattrip on a lake.
