What is the most inexpensive light, other than Maglite that you would trust your life to? Specific Make and Model please.
Here's my farfetched scenario.
Let's say your son, daughter, nice or nephew or even your dog, wandered into an abandoned mine. I know you'd want the best light, but in this scenario let's assume you had none of your own lights and the local old time miner only had flashlights that were under 25 bucks. He was a "cheap flashlight" hoarder.
This gray bearded miner had Garritys, Rayovacs, Energizers, Romisens, Ultrafires, Hardcase, Brinkman and all other assorted "cheapie" brands you can think of. When he struck gold, he bought all the cheap flashlights he could.
But the miner was also a NUTJOB. He was going to loan you a flashlight but he was also a stingy, old, mean ******* and said, "ONLY ONE LIGHT YOU CAN TAKE." You asked for a backup and he said, "HELL NO, JUST ONE LIGHT, TAKE IT ER LEAVE IT."
And he was holding a shotgun too so you couldn't just strong arm him.
Assume he had every flashlight under 25 bucks you can think of EXCEPT a maglite (weird right?).
No lanterns.
No extra batteries.
No keychain lights.
Old graybeard says YOU BETTER HURRY UP AND CHOOSE OR YOU AINT GiTTIN' NONE. He's getting impatient, better choose fast.
Yes I am extremely bored at work.
