Newbie on a budget looking to buy a flashlight

Re: Still searching for a budget flashlight

The real thing is: Even if you buy the Romisen now due to the fact that it better fits your budget, as a good "Flashaholic" you end up buy the Fenix as well. So here is my advise:

-Buy the Romisen, the light that you budget for, and later buy the Fenix and post your review "Romisen VS Fenix".:twothumbs

Hope this can help you to decide!!!!!!

Re: Still searching for a budget flashlight

Ok guys, I've decided on a flashlight.
Romisen RC-F4 CREE Q5 LED

Even though I initially wanted to get the Romisen RC-N3 model, I've decided to opt for the RC-F4 model cuz I like the design better and found that most of the user ratings were surprised with its brightness . It's also very favorable in bessiebenny's "budget" thread.

It's a true bang for the buck.

Well, I'm not planning to purchase another flashlight anytime soon. MY financial situation doesn't permit me to become a "flashaholic".
I hope I won't accidently stumble upon the Surefire homepage when I'm drunk or something. :drunk:

In any case, I will post my unprofessional review/impression of the Romisen RC-F4 I'm planning to purchase from shiningbeam cuz the shipping is cheap and theres a promo code.

Thanks for the input guys.

Welcome to CPF, scorcher75.

It is better to continue with an existing thread than start a new one. The 2 threads logically fit together, so I'll merge them now.

IMO go for the L2D. It's not brighter, but it's much more adaptable- low modes, etc, so if you don't want full power you can conserve battery life.

If you've already purchased the F4, enjoy it

If you went for the F4, don't forget to buy rechargeable batteries too(17670s). That would make it cheaper in the long run.

How about a Streamlight 2AA ProPolymer LED for under $20? 18hr run-time at about 25 (or so) lumens.

Hey all,

after doing some more thinking and realizing that the Fenix lights are superior to the Romisen ones, I decided that I'm not gonna purchase the Romisen RC-F4 flashlight. I just know that if Ill get the Romisen light, I won't be satisfied with it cuz I know that the Fenix lights are better and that I need to spend +$50 for a nice flashlight.

So instead, I'm going to save some more money and opt out for the:
Fenix P3D Q5.

Even though its gona cost me $40 more than the Romisen.
I read the reviews and saw some Youtube videos featuring the Fenix flashlight and boy was I amazed with it.

Hopefully, they might possibly go down in price a bit or I might end up buying an intermediary flashlight like the new Fenix E20 which is tad cheaper.

Thanks for the input guys!
