    TK40 or what?

    I agree that the TK40 is a great light,,,, faults,, well we can all find fault with something, One thing I am sure others would agree with is try not to use regular alkaline batteries in it unless you are in a pinch. If you get the light and you use those batteries just make sure you keep...

    TK40 or what?

    200 yards is a bit of a distance, you may not really need something that powerful, we always tend to think things are farther away than they are. As for the TK40 it's a great light, I was impressed when I got it but also a bit disappointed at the form factor. While the use of AA's is nice and I...

    I found the Brinkmann TUFF MAX LED Area Work Light a while back, it puts out a wall of light and it will even stand with the handle locked into position. here is a link to the light http://wwwndc.walmart.com/ip/TUFF-MAX-LED-Area-Work-Light/12429485

    MagLite XL100 Review & new website launched

    I picked one up from brightguy and I must say I am impressed with the UI, while it is a bit hard to get use to it is also very cool, as was stated above it really is a one of a kind UI. I hope better things are on the way based on the same type of setup. "This is not your grandfathers Maglite...

    Black and Decker 4C LED spotlight

    Just got one of the black and decker 4Cs and it is pretty nice, solid feel to it. the only thing I am not crazy about is the switch, not bad for 20 bucks. I also picked up both the AAA folding light and the AA pocket flashlight. They are both nice 10 dollar lights.

    Lights with neutral/warm LEDs?

    I just got the Zebralight SC 30 with a Warm LED and I love the color, it's great outside. I also got the Zebralight H 501 with the Warm option, very nice. Last year I ordered the LumaPower Mini D VX with the Warm option too. The Warm LED's are becoming easyer to get across all the different...

    Maglite XL100

    Looking for a Quark MiNi 123 sized light with a clicky

    SC 30 is a flashlight that comes with a head band if you want to use it, I just got the SC 30 with the Warm LED and it is great. I love the beam and the color is wonderful. UI is nice and simple. It really has won my heart.

    light to keep in car?

    I started keeping Energizer Hard Case Work 2 AA Lights in my cars last year, they are cheap so I don't worry about them getting lost or damaged and they hold up well. The 2 AA model fits almost anywhere and while it's not the brightest light around it works well for small tasks. II can even use...

    Budget Lights forum

    I like the idea of a budget light section but I am having a hard time figuring out what the guide lines would be. I consider a budget light something I can replace at the drop of a hand, A light that I can just run out to the local store and replace. Price would not mater as much as...

    Energizer 3AA/AAA headlamp

    I got one of these a while ago, I would like to add my thoughts to your mini review, The light is well built, it seems to be able to hold up to some abuse although I really only use it outside for light night time navigation around the yard and in the garage. The beam is a little...

    ENERGIZER Second Generation Lights @ 2009 CES/SHOT (Tactical, Night Strike...)

    I agree anyone who has not looked into these should, I now have all 3 of them and each has it's own really cool little features. Energizer has jumped up to another level with these lights.

    Lights as a result of your learning curve.

    I have way too many lights, I started with cheap ones from local stores, you know Mini mag, energizer DoubleBarrel, and so on, I went up to an Arc LS first Run and then picked up the 4+, after that I just went back and forth between cheap (ones that looked interesting ) to better lights I...

    Flashlight for sailboat?

    I am not much for boats but I can tell you that the Pelican Stealthlite 2410 Recoil LED would be a great light for a boat, it has great throw for cutting any kind of fog or water vapor, it is also water proof and the switch would allow you to signal on and off in the time frame you need. It...

    Energizer Night Strike Series?

    I have 2, the Energizer Night Strike and Energizer Night Strike compact , the compact is nice, the little review done here by LightObsession is right on. I kind of like the green find me feature, it is bright but that's what makes it cool. The Regular Night Strike is nice too, body is all...
