Hello Everyone!
I'm not sure how this will work out, but I can't believe how many options for flashlights there are out there! The information is truly overwhelming and I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction...
A little background: I'm leaving the US to work in the country of Tonga (Its in the Pacific between New Zealand and Hawaii) for the next 2 and 1/2 years. I've read a bunch of suggestions from people that have been there before about "buying good flashlights", but no suggestions for models. That's where I'm hoping you guys could help me out.
Because there may not be the right type of batteries where I'm located, I'm trying to keep all of the lights to an AA standard size. Here's a brief list
1.) A Dive Light
2.) A Bike Headlamp
3.) A Regular Headlamp
4.) 2 Decent Waterproof Flashlights
Now I don't want to spend a fortune, but I also don't want to waste my money on flashlights that die after I use them for a couple of weeks. I checked out flashlightreview.com but I don't even know where to get started! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
Also, is there a vendor this site uses? I'd love to support this forum, its a really great resource!
Thanks,
Jim Jawn
