Choosing a new flashlight!

[cowana]

I've currently got two flashlights - both taking one 18650 with a P60 LED:
- An Ultrafire WF-502B
- An Uniquefire L2 (a copy of the solarforce)

These flashlights are great, but I want a new one!

Both of my torches are fixed zoom - I wouldn'd mind a torch that has zoomable optics, so can range from flood to throw. However, most of the zooming torches on Dealextreme are >$10 - I want to spend about $20-$25, as I feel more expensive torches have a nicer feel. It would be good to say with the P60 modules as I have quite a collection, although if there something much brighter in my price range, I could go with that.

I'd love any input/feedback on my third flashlight - I don't have any ideas! Maximum price is $30. I'd rather stick to 18650 cells, as I've got a few boxes of them.

Thanks

Andrew

There aren't that many "zoomable" lights, and I don't recall hearing about any that take a P60 drop-in.

Thirty dollars is a pretty low limit. You might poke around on ShiningBeam's site for some lights in that range (but not P60 hosts); or consider a real SolarForce host; otherwise if you don't get much response here you might try your questions in the Budget Lights forum.

:thumbsup:

+1 , more expensive torches do indeed have a nicer feel! 😉

You may want to check out the budget section... Romison makes cheap flood to throw..

Thanks for your advice - I've reposted in the budget section. Hopefully someone there can recommend one.

Thanks again
