flashlight ****

[tpolley]

i notice there are ratchet threads, tool box threads and such. i figured i'd start a flashlight thread.
mine is a rechargible mag-lite. 65k candle power. $139 off the snapon truck 5 or 6 years ago. i think i paid $20 or $30 on it before the snapon guy was busted for selling tools and not paying his snapon bill. i have yet to recieve a bill for it. runs off a 6 volt stick battery. i replaced it a year and a half ago from batteries plus for $30. i burned a hole in someones carpet once. i accidently set it down face down and forgot to turn it off.

I'm a big fan of Surefire flashlights. I have many. Here's my G2 LED...

 

[Mike83]

What is it attached to? M4?

 

[66HertzClone]

Holy ****, what do you use that for, keeping the squirrels off the bird feeder?

 

[Marty256]

I’ve had the rechargeable mag-lite for about eighteen years now, actually I’m on my third one lost the first in a foot chase and the second, well lets say it wasn’t exactly used as per instructions. It also doubles as a night stick when the **** hits the fan on night tours.

I've got a few LED flashlights and like them a lot. I'm thinking of getting a 900!! lumen single LED flashlight, wicked cheap compared to where they used be just a few years ago. I think that the LED used in this flashlight is the same as the ones that are used in the Audi R8 5.2FSI as headlights (!!)

I have a few more around the house. Some of the mags are modded. I shifted my hobby from flashlights to tools and have no regrets at all

There are better quality lights than Maglite, but their warranty service is excellent. I have a couple of Streamlites that I really like, but for around the house, Maglites serve the purpose.
I used to put 6 D-Cell Maglites on my expenses, and take them to work, as (I was hopelessly optimistic), that even my helpers couldn't lose something that big, and if I did see it wandering around the rig, I would be 99.9999999999 percent sure that it was mine, especially if it was painted day glo green, or pink, of if it fell under the unit, that you stood a good chance of seeing it amid the goo.

Lots of flashlight freaks over there. I was directed there when I was looking for info on my Streamlight, I didn't realize that people could get off on flashlights like these guys!

 

[mjb]

A few of mine.

 

[fatfillup]

Finally, something posted that I don't think I'll get addicted to,,,,,hopefully


Oh ****, who turned out the lights

 

[thefirebuilds]

runs on lithium 123s. 120 lumens.

[tpolley]

They work great--very lightweight.

Much cheaper here:

yes, I have a problem.

And the problem is No night vision goggles, that has to be it... Nice insurance policies

 

[bry@n]

nice collection of Surefires. I have many lights>>surefire, streamlight and a few made in California.

Nothing beats a great lights when you need it. The M6 throws a great deal of distance. L4 is still my favorite flood light.

Can't go wrong with cpf either. Lots of good, knowledgable people there.

 

[mkdive]

I have probably 10-20 more lights than whats pictured, (scattered around the house and cars). A couple more SF's but most are streamlight, and various maglites.

In the pelican case...most of the right hand side lights are lasers I have made out of flashlight hosts. The lasers range from 100mW-250mW (650nm,405nm)

hey easy now, I'm on CPF...and the "condition" is called "flashaholic"

I bet over there they could call us here tool freaks

Its really bad that I'm on both of the forums...along with EDC, Gearjournal, and a few others....yep I have problems too!

 

[chadster1]

I have streamlight stingers all over the house and garage. Streamlight microstream lights on every set of keys. A Streamlight Strion in the console of my pickup. I have given just about everyone in my family a microstream for christmas. I also gave out a bunch of the pink nano lights for christmas to some of my better customers.

 

[G1K]

I'll see if I can dig up a pic or two of my modest arc/hds collection.

Found one:

Im\'m a sucker for a well worn arc aaa.

I picked up a zebralight head lamp for Christmas. It is a very solid little light. Great for getting under the car and not having a task light blasting me in the face or not putting the light in the right spot.

[05firecatf7black]

ran out today and picked up my first sure fire flash light after reading this thread. My god it's a good light. Thanks guys.

 

[american lockpicker]

What model you get?

 

[Sloper0204]

Most of my mine are just working lights, lots of Pelicans and Underwater Kinetics. Only one Surefire. Don't have any pictures right now.

 

[05firecatf7black]

What model you get?

got the 6p led.very happy with it. It will be used at work almost daily so we will see how much i end up spending on batteries.

If you like that check out the Streamligh Scorpion LED. I got one for my brother in law(cop) and its like 120 lumens.

 

[bry@n]

Check out Batterystation.com for batteries. Surefire also sells batteries at a low rate.

You could also go rechargable cells and if you use the light a lot, I would go that route.

Remember the movie theatre ushers had that orange cone on their flashlights? Well, remove the cone and replace it with a prostetic ******. That's what what is.

Oh, and I'm not sure it even puts out light.

 

[Rocket1]

I'm glad I came across this. I need to get a couple new flashlights... I had a 2D cell mag lite that quit working a while back and I want to replace it with something different. I also need to get a light to carry in the truck. After having a tire blow out in the dark I decided I should carry a light so I can see at night.
