I'm looking for a 2 123 light....I'm lookng at the Romisen RC-F4, RC-E4, RC-G4 or the Trustfire TR-C2
these are both around $15-$18....is there a US made light that would be comparable and how much more $$ would it be ...would like to be under $25...exist?
thanks
You will not find a US made 2xCR123 light in that price range, but the Surefire 6PL or G2L both fit what you are looking for except for the price ($60-$75). They will both last you a life-time, and while I will agree that they are not comparable with the chinese made lights that you listed, it is because they are a quality product, not made in a sweat shop. The Surefire is made in the United States, by American workers that work for an American company.
You get what you pay for. If you want a light that you can trust, that will last forever (lifetime warranty), then invest in a Surefire.
If you want a light that is really bright, and might impress your friends (if it actually works), buy a $15 chinese light, and then buy another after it breaks, and probably 10-15 extra $15 chinese lights to carry with you when it breaks again, and again....
Now, rest assured some idiot will come along and say "America make really crappy cars though, so their flashlights suck too"
