I am a brand spanking new poster after lurking for a few years.
I am seeking advice on affordable, dependable GP/Emergency flashlights for the wife and kids. The wife & kids have lost the AAAx1 Ultrafires I bought them, too small I think. I want to get them something not easily lost, good run time, tough, under $20, one mode. I was looking at ROV I2DLED-B Industrial 3 LED yellow flashlights, but could not find a review for the specific model. It promises 150 hrs on alkalines, looks tough enough, big and yellow (so hard to lose). I am open to alternatives. What says CPF???
I currently have:
Surefire G2 Nitrolon w/ 120 lumen head -mounted weaponlight
Ray-o-Vac Sportsman Xtreme 1w headlamp -camping light
Coleman Exponent 4aa lantern -camping lantern
Ultrafire AAAx1 (unknown model) -current EDC light, sucks
various POS wind-up, D-cell, and button battery kids lights -see POS comment
I have just purchased (, and awaiting the arrival of:
Zebralight SC-51w -EDC
4sevens Quark AA2 S2 -EDC alternate
Ray-o-Vac Sportsman Xtreme 4w 3c -check out the yard at night light
Thanks!
