Thread: Flashlights

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.

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.
