Funny you should mention the flashlight forums... I spent more then a few hours browsing and youtubing flashlights yesterday...
Some people have full collections of limited edition Ti body flashlights...I must admit they looked really cool.

That thing looks great!! A bit too fat for me. My kids need to be able to handle it... but other than that! I love that it uses regular everyday AA battery's!! That is a huge draw.

Good reviews too!! Nice!

Review; Sunwayman D40A - A great light

Here's a small one; Ultrafire MCU-C7s Cree Q5-WC 3-Mode 230-Lumen Memory LED Flashlight (1*CR123A) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
DX got hundreds of flashlights, QC is so and so but their prices are nice.

E2D LED Defender Ultra

That's a beauty but expensive as a nice strop!
"Last longer than your wife" they should put that in a commercial.

I bet considering where you live that that flashlight is one of the best "toys/tools" you ever invested in !! I think my new flashlight needs a brother to keep him company lol!! Hmmmm....

To be honest I did not actually "Buy" it,, well I did but I didn't hehehe

I bought a boat last year, the flashlight was hidden in one of the Cuddy Cabin niches, so I bought the boat the flashlight came with it or I bought the flashlight and the boat was free

I was messing with it the other night when I got home from the Rosanne Cash concert, and it is amazing how much light that tiny little thing puts out...

I like these small lights except the 123 or equivalent batteries. Expensive as heck.

For me the best light is the one that is in your pocket when you need one. I carry this little , cheap, bright diver's light on me.


I just put a cheap , but adequate Boker light on the botton of my Ak, via a tri-rail
& I will be getting this one next month for my 870.

Streamlight® ProTac™ HL C4® LED Tactical Flashlight | Bass Pro Shops

As far as 123 batteries, I use a lot of them, I get the red colored , Surefire's from Lowes, they are $5.00 for 2 & last a while.

Flashlights are sure cool but maybe not as cool as rechargeable batteries. Yours might be only $5.00 for 2 but recharge them "up" to 1000 times?

This is my pocket light, it uses 2 AAA batteries & since I only use it rarely, I just changed the batteries after 1 year.

The 123 batteries are on tactical weapons & rarely used also, checked regularly. I'm not a fan of rechargeable lights unless the light sits in a charger constantly, keeping it charged to the top. I have a small streamlight (rechargeable) in my
4Runner, that stays plugged in.
