fuck one of mine cost me around $200 lol :fuuuuu:

yeah but the other 99.999999999999999999999% of the time you just have a heavy ass flashlight that takes C/D batteries.

+1 for 4sevens. My friends and I have them and they're great.

:sweetjesus:

I bought my flashlight from Deal extreme. 900lumens. Love using it :D
Special rechargeable batteries though. But still worth it to me.

This is the reason why you spend that kind money on a flashlight

that turbo beam + strobe

Man this reminds me I actually need a good flashlight and knife for camping (going next weekend oh ya!!) checking ebay and found this one for a decent price with the charger.

Fenix TK35 Cree LED 820 Lumens Flashlight w/ Ultrafire 18650 Batt & Charger | eBay

Costco had some SNAP ON Hybrid flashlights for about $20. Not available at all locations but some of them still had some.

Its got a bright LED trouble light style with a top light. Uses 4 x AA

FYI they're not really SNAP ON, its a special 1 time exclusive product for Costco. Its not part of SNAP AV's regular line up of products.

holy fuck going camping already?
i usually wait till at least march

+1 for Surefires. I have an old G2 LED (120 lumens) with a red filter (great for saving your night vision) that's still working strong and is tough as nails.

got these

that fenix video... reminds me of that annoying flashlight in battlefield 3 :lol

What you need is this: SureFire M3LT-S CombatLight Dual-Output w/Strobe 800 Lumens [SFM3LTS] - $575.00CDN : Warriors and Wonders

800 lumens with strobe capability! Crazy.

800 lumens LOL

I was just thinking the same thing!!!
Trying to aim at something brighter than the sun is ridiculous.

I want to try this in real life at paint ball.

recently bought canadian tire brand led flashlight with magnetic back for under the hood and stuff for $17...works awesome when working on the car.

I go camping all year round ;)

Quad Luxeon modded Maglite with dimmer - 8 AA batts / Roar Of Pelican (1100 lumen)12V modded Maglite - 8 AA batteries

Build your own ROP HERE

the left is more functional because of dimming ability, the right one can cook insects from 1 foot away. i can shine the beam at you from about 5 ft away and you can feel the heat through your pants.

+1 for 4Sevens. I have two Quark's and they're fantastic. This spring I plan on picking up the newest Quark X AA2. What I really love about the 4Sevens lights are the very very reasonable burn times and multiple brightness step-ups. The low mode that I would use around the house or walking on a trail will deplete batteries in 72 hours, which is huge. The moonlight mode on the Quarks is perfect for quickly reading something and not ruining your nightvision. The only downside to the lights is switching on the older ones from off to moonlight (I don't know if the issue was ever fixed) there is a quarter secondish flash at max before it goes to the lower mode, but only on initial startup. Fantastic lights though. Durable, waterproof, higher end LED's. You can't go wrong with a Fenix or Surefire either but from my experience with each of them the 4Sevens come out slightly ahead in the categories I prioritize.

On top of getting a new flashlight, particularly for around the house or in the car, I highly recommend a small headlamp. If you want something that's reliable, durable and doesn't eat through batteries like cheaper lights I highly recommend one of the Petzl Tikka's, Tikkina's or a Black Diamond Spot.

As far as batteries go, pick up some Sanyo Eneloops. Without a doubt the best batteries I've ever used.

No bugs, beer stays cold outside. What's not to love.

:thumbs:

mainly no idiots and with no fire ban the fire you can have. Best time of the year is now nothing beats it

Hmm maybe its time to update my flashlights? I keep a Fenix L0P on my keys but it uses the older Luxeon LED. I know a lot of the newer Cree LED will pump out more light with less heat.

can you guys recommend a 1 AAA light? no crazy SOS or strobe. just a simple 3 hi-med-lo settings.

almost all decent flashlights with a low/med/hi are going to have an SOS in them now.

and you're going to want one that has a low/med/hi because while the low may last 15 hours, the high is usually only good for 2 hours run time. and an SOS will be good for like 10 days.
