I'm sold. Next time I'm at the Despot, I'll take a look for it.speedsix wrote:...the LED I posted above is 104 lumens...a great deal stronger than the 2 AA or 3AA Mags, which are good for close work but not nearly strong enough for a shoot/don't shoot decision at night outside...the benefit of the more powerful light at roughly twice the price of the AA models is that it will rob the adversary of his night vision temporarily...best $30 I've spent on a light...

Re: Good flashlight?
I love Maglites. In fact, when my StreamLight's switch started being unreliable after 10 months' carry, I ditched the streamlight and pulled out my 2-AA battery MagLite, with belt 'holster' and strapped it on. Hubby had switched out the original bulb w/the LED bulb they have available. The 2AA LED MagLites are readily available at Home Despot and Lowes for ~$20 on a regular basis. Or the non-LED version looks like it is currently under $10 at The Despot. I LOVE having a light handy.speedsix wrote:...I carried Surefire a long time...the last dozen batteries I ordered last week cost me just shy of $32 to the door...
...Home Dippy started carrying this one http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware ... =202896936" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; last year and I've gotten 5 so far...my boys and best friend love 'em...blindingly bright...with a lower setting for reading or close work...and a strobe for if you're in need of that...but compact, reliable and CHEAP TO FEED... AAA batteries are about $10 for 16...at Home Dippy...bright idea....
...I also bought the Coast light you'll see there...not nearly as bright nor reliable...had to send off for parts early on...
