Reading this forum made me look through some of my stuff in the garage looking for some flashlights (I thought I was strange for owning so many flashlights, but I see that I'm not nearly as bad as some people so I feel better already).
In addition to my Magcharger I found several AA Mini Maglites and a variety of cheap lights (all plastic and probably under $10). I also found 2 Brinkmann lights that appear to be a Legend LX model. They're silver with rubber grips, a larger head than the body, xenon bulb and operate on (2) 123 lithium batteries. I bought these lights while in FL on vacation a while back and stopped using them after their batteries died, which means about 1 or 2 uses. Now that I take a closer look at them they appear to be really nice lights.
When I got home from FL I stuck one of these in my pickup (along with a Mini Maglite in the glove box) and one in the saddlebag of my H-D for roadside emergencies. Unfortunately, the protruding tailcap button seems to have gotten pushed and both went dead before I ever got the chance to use them so they ended up in my toolbox in the garage. Now I'd like to resurrect them and do whatever it is that I do with all these flashlights.
Does anyone know the approximate candlepower/lumens for these lights? How do they compare with the "tactical" mini lights like Surefire, Pelican, Pila, etc. Any way to keep them running without going broke buying batteries.
