Umm, $240 for a 300 lumen flashlight?
I dont get it. Is it the only flashlight licensed to shine the Batman signal into the sky?
I bought a cheap $8.60 XM-L T6 machined aluminum light off ebay.
I burned it in with a salvaged laptop 18650. Turned it on high till it died. Still works.
Put it in the toilet. Didnt leak.
I dropped it on my driveway. Still works.
I ran over it with my 1986 S10. No problem.
So I tossed it against the garage wall. Still going.
I'm not going to see what it takes to break it, because after all that, I figure I have a keeper. So I bought another one. They sent me a U3 because they were out of the T6. Even brighter.
All of this for $8.60 Because someone designed it in USA, sold for $200 to early adopters, was proven to be a good design on the street, then copied and made in China and sold cheap on Ebay.
Thanks guys, for adopting early, and making a great (copy of a) flashlight available for those of us who are out of work and all but flat broke because all the good manufacturing jobs went overseas.
