Help with 123 light for son (13yrs).

Abouna · Jun 8, 2007

I bought my son a Huntlight FT-02XJ last year. Unfortunately he lost it :sigh:

His birthday is coming up and I'd like to get him another 123 light with similar build (rugged, clicky, size, etc). I'd like to keep it under $30 (used is fine also).

Any suggestions?

I don't know if it is as toughly built as a Huntlight, but maybe this one:http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1446?

That's a two CR123 size light.

Since Rugged, single 123 size , and clicky are qualifications,a Nuwai QIII or Dorcy CR123.

Or maybe, one of these DX Mini 6W Flashlight

or; this one: 8W Mini 1-Cr123A Flashlight Black with two way switch

Looks nice, I keep forgetting about DealExtreme!

Actually, in reference to my OP and Randy's comment, an 18650 will work also, I've got a multi-charger from Lighthound that will do it also. Actually better for a boy.

Wish there were some size specs listed though.

If you do opt for this one :http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1446; make sure you have means of connecting the battery with the positive terminal by way of a small magnet etc. The page specifies this near the top.

You could always give him an LumaPower M1 and call it a day.

Ohh ya... and threaten to chop his fingers off if he loses it!!! :lolsign:

18650 size opens up the list quite a bit. Most have size spec listed-- 18650 lights are usually around 5 1/2 inches long.

Boy, I sure wish there was a chart or something to make sense of all the Cree lights DX has! It's ridiculous.
