You certainly picked a bright light. One problem with such a bright light is that it will not last long. In some of the specs I saw it would run for 4 hours on the battery. That should be enough for one night out. If you are out two nights you may run out of power.
I have not used the Surefire brand. It certainly is expensive at $ 50.
I personally prefer a headlamp. With a headlamp I can work with both hands. I will use a headlamp even when I am not camping.
I would recommend two flashlights One would be a 30 lumen or less headlamp for around camp. The second would be a 90 lumen or more light, for emergency travel at night, or just for high power.
It is good to take a medium power flashlight camping. If you need to head home in the middle of the night because of an emergency. You do not want to use a small pen light that does show things in your path, or the lack of them like a cliff. The web site below recommends 30 lumens about 1 watt, for walking on a trail. Tactical / military lights start at 90 lumens or 3 watts. Yours is very bright at 260 lumens. That explains the short battery life. You need a light that will last till you get back to the trail head, while traveling at night.
Maglight makes good LED flashlights. I have a 4 D - cell battery 3 watt Maglight. I tested it an it ran for 27 hours on alkaline batteries. They also make a 2 and a 3 D-cell flashlights with a 3 watt LED bulb. LED is the way to go, it lasts 10 times longer. The Maglight is less expensive than the CREE Q5. Maglight has good quality. Brinkman also makes good flashlights
I have had bad luck with Princeton brand and Gerber brand of flashlights.
Enjoy your camping.
