    Mini-Maglite LED 2 AA 3 Watt Beam Shots

    Thanks for the Beam Shots! Heads up Calif. Bay Area. Got mine at the Mountain View Wal-Mart. They had plenty of 3 and 2 cell AA Maglite LED's on the pegs. The 2AA cost me $23.74. The LED's looked pretty well centered on most of them. I think sometimes the plastic reflector gets a little...

    Black Dorcy AAA at Walmart

    I noticed at a couple of Wal*Marts in the SF Bay Area that they had the AAA Dorcy LED Flashlight in black. Not only is it black but it's the old reflector style and not the new crappy optical lens. Interestingly the package says "magnifying lens" and it's not! It looks like the black ones all...

    Can you see a flashlight from the moon?

    I'd guess the Luxor (Pyramid) Hotel in Vegas would be pretty spectacular. 40 billion candlepower! Brightest light in the world. It has been seen by Space Shuttle crew members. http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=398319

    Cheaper than Dirt LED light

    Reviewed here http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/ctd8.htm I have one in blue. No problems with mine. I use it as a "trasher" flashlight and it lives in the glove compartment of my car. I always see them sold at Flea markets. By the way, The tailcap fits on the Dorcy Metal Gear.

    For all those who cant find the Dot-Its at Wal-Mart. I've searched here in the Calif.

They were $9.99...

    What is your favorite cheapie led light?

    Is this the Flashglight you're talking about? (Blue Flashlight on the left) I noticed the tail fits the Dorcy Metal Gear. It only grabs onto about 1/2 of the threads but it does fit, and the Hex pattern lines up when tightened. I got mine for $6.99

    mini-mag tailswitch from Nite-Ize

    Looks like they changed the prototype from 2004. I ran across this when I was trying to find out how much the tail switch will retail for (I still don't know) It looks like it's more compact then the old version. They don't have the tri color power level indicators either.
