    kinda new....bulb upgrade?

    Might I recommend the TerraLUX LightStar 220 from Battery Junction. $28.00 here but I have seen it as low as $25 locally so it's very close to your budget requirement. I used to own the single mode version of this flashlight. It is bright but short run time on alkaline batteries of only 1 hour...

    Ever really justified your flashlight collection?

    Here is a real good video review on the Rayovac Sportsman Extreme LED lantern. It has gotten very good reviews at amazon. 7 - five star reviews the last time I checked. I think I've seen it at Walmart. If I didn't already have a propane and fluorescent lantern I'd get one. You may want to take a...

    Ever really justified your flashlight collection?

    This is so true with everyone I have ever met. With the one exception of my next door neighbor who is a Sheriff's Deputy, (his duty light is a rechargeable Stinger and he just got the Fenix TK-10) all of my other family and friends think that a single $2 2xD light from the local hardware store...

    Rebel LED lights

    If I'm not mistaken, It's the 2008 version that uses the warmer chip. The older model uses the cooler one. Some sites are still selling the older model. Good luck, Brad

    Newest Mini Mag Led Multifunction? Comments?

    I think someone on another thread said they saw it at Sears. I checked Brightguy.com and Amazon and they don't have it. I wonder why it isn't available online yet. Brad

    Best OTC Lights?

    I recently purchased these lights at Target and Walmart. They range in price from $17 to $32. I like all of them and am happy with the overall quality for the price. From Left to Right: Maglite 2D Rebel, Energizer 2aa 3 watt, Dorcy 120 luman K2, Duracell Daylight, River Rock 2aaa, Energizer 1aa...

    Rebel LED lights

    Does it have to be a Rebel or are you just looking for a warm tint? If you are, then you may want to take a look at the Dorcy 120 lumen 6 watt 3aaa. Here is a thread about it with beam shots. I bought one a few weeks ago and really like the warm tint it has. It is quite bright too. I think it...

    list your lights

    I don't have a picture of all my lights. I keep them in many places around the house and my truck. Example: Bright lights and long lights like Maglites on the ground floor because I use them outside. Here is a picture of my nightstand lights though. I use them for walking around the house at...

    Ever really justified your flashlight collection?

    I see some of you guys have very understanding wives. Lucky for you. But has anyone ever had their car break down and had to walk for miles in the dark but saved the day with their EDC light? Maybe caving and your main headlight broke? I was just wondering if anyone has had experiences like...

    A simple light that would Just Work? (And some simple questions)

    I've been collecting flashlights since the mid 70's. I've spent thousands of dollars on lights, batteries, chargers and related items. But this is over many years. Did I start out with a $100 flashlight. No. (There was no such thing at the time that I can remember seeing) I started out small and...

    A simple light that would Just Work? (And some simple questions)

    Good idea. I recently purchased this same light. It does have a very nice tint. I didn't know the runtime was so high. 15 hours is great. Thanks for the info. I got about 3 hours with 2 AA Eneloops in the plastic shells. I put the D's back in when I was done testing. The shells came free with...

    A simple light that would Just Work? (And some simple questions)

    Well, I searched all the flashlight sites I buy from with no luck. The LumaPower's ConneXion suggested by rmteo looks hard to beat. I may have to get one of those some day. The only light I can think of is the TerraLux LightStar 220 EX. It matches most of your requirements but runtime is only 6...
