Hello, new here, so I hope this is not some kind of violation or been asked before and I can't or didn't find the old answer.
I have had and carried a Brinkmann Maxfire LX for a couple of years after phasing my Surefire Green 3P Christmas Light out after finding it not bright enough on a night pistol match.
Can't find a second Brinkmann Maxfire LX, apparently discontinued. Been thinking about an LED light to save on battery life. Really don't like using "non-standard" batteries like the CR123. Recently saw a Coleman light advertising 144 lumens and apparently running on 3 AA cells.
I tested the Brinkmann, after I got it, against a Surefire Nitrolon 2 X CR123 light after dark out in the boonies, and found them to provide the same amount of light.
So, I am looking for something in the $30.00 or less category to carry with me along with my cell phone and my CCW. Never leave home without any of those three.
Thanks,
Buckshot
