Alrighty... the guys over at Bladeforums.com told me to come here and give yall a whirl.
So... my question is... what are the best Gerber models for someone who almost carries their flashlight everywhere (so no D or C cell lights), must be LED and BRIGHT AS POSSIBLE, and last a hell of a long time (at least 15 or 20 hours... none of this hour BS).
I was originally looking at Surefires, but said "Dang, that's a little extreme, until I get shipped to Iraq or something... then I'll buy one." But, for now, I have been using the Nite-Ize upgrade in my AA Maglite, and it's been wanderful. Batteries last a long time - especially the Energizer disposable lithiums!!! - and the beam is a good spread. I was just wondering, is there a comparable beam but, a brighter and longer?
This is when I spotted Gerber... are their lights any good, and I would really like to stick with AA's... I don't care how many, but I just want some big range, and with good battery life.
It doesn't have to be fancy aluminum, titanium or anything like that. I could honestly care less about the technology (which Surefire is really into), but as long as it has those two things... I'll give it a try. Until then, my Nite-Ize upgrade still amazes me. And the batteries haven't gone dead since...
Thanks in advance...
