Get a supalite and be done. Wouldnt be without mine. Light isnt the word, regid and hard wearing (if you look after it)

Little more pricey but youll be glad you bought it. I bet that things weighs a tonne, gotta think about when its up. I can use the supalitte at 50 ft with one hand its that light!
