LED for farm use

[LeeG]

I am looking for a flashlight for my in-laws who have a grain/cattle/hog farm in the midwest. They currently have a few of (and really like) those Husky 2D cell LED's that Home Depot were selling last year, but have apparently discontinued.

Does anyone know where I can find anything similar?
The only thing I have been able to find is MAG LED's, and they didn't have the best luck with them.

+2 on the TK20. Tough as nails too, if it can survive caving, it can survive a farm

An alternative to the Husky might be the Lowes Task Force Cree 2C. About $5 more than the Husky with a little less output but it should get the job done.

If you are willing to spend the money...Malkoff Devices started on a farm:

I'll check Lowe's. The TK20 is more than they really want to spend. They are basically wanting to by 4-8 of them to have at different places on the farm, so $20-$25 is the price range they are looking at. Those Brinkman's might do the trick too.

I am currently waiting for Malkoff to get some of the 2-3D cell drop ins to upgrade the rest of my MAG's.

They are basically wanting to buy 4-8 of them to have at different places on the farm . . . .

Ah, that tells me they don't EDC carry a flashlight. :shakehead


Get a 2xAA flashlight, like 4Sevens Quark, or Fenix TK20.


Get a nice comfortable, secure belt holster -- like a RipOffs model BL-153.


Carry 1 flashlight with you, all day long.


No need to buy 4-8 of them to have at different places on the farm.

Tell them to think of it as a tool. You wouldn't buy five wrenches and place them in different places around the farm. You'd have one wrench and take it where you need it.

Farm > outdoors in the country > NEUTRAL WARM WHITE LED.

Quark Minis, Neutral White
NiteCore EZ AA
are some examples.
I live downtown, am not familiar with all the different available models of the neutral warm white LED torches so you will have to do some searching.

Just curious... what didn't work out?

Beam quality? Throw? Too big?

 

[LeeG]

As I recall, the MAG LED didn't have sufficient throw.
I have been trying to get them to just EDC a light, but it has been a hard sell - hard to teach some old dogs a new trick.
