What good (but cheap) lights for Xmas presents?

Hi,

Last year I gave co-workers Streamlight TT-1L's at Christmas. This year, family wants to get some "Good Flashlights!" as they heard about them. But, what are the current offerings in the $20 to $25 range? Advice and direction is needed!

Thanks,
John Bud

Re: What good (but cheap) lights for Xmas presents

one decent all around useful light is the UK4AA eled fits right in that range there are probably multiple LED lights and xenon lights also in that area depending on what you are looking for. You could even buy something outrageous like a 25.00 rayovac 8D 18Watt flourescent lantern from walmart for just under 25.00 and there are many headlamp offerings in the 12-20.00 range.. You can either get everyone the same thing or get all sorts of differing lights spread out between them.

Re: What good (but cheap) lights for Xmas presents

Agreed on the Uke 4AA eleds. You can also check out the 2AAA eLeds ($11-$12) or Xenon models (even cheaper) for kids and such... Gerber Infinity Ultras are also great buys and gifts at around $15 or so.

Re: What good (but cheap) lights for Xmas presents

Infinity Ultras are great lights for cheap. they'll last as long as you don't lose them. the form factor is unbeatable for a 15 dollar light....

how about Inova X1 for the ladies..?

Re: What good (but cheap) lights for Xmas presents

Quite a few places are running close-out specials on the multi-mode PALights (the Survivor, eLights, One-Stars, Workman) for about $15 or less. See theLEDlight.com or lightandflight.com (free shipping in the US for lightandflight), for example. They're definitely good for some jollies for friends over the holidays. My green LED eLight is a real little light-saber, and I couldn't resist ordering a blue LED Survivor today. The red LED one is also very bright, but my white one seems to be the dimmest of the bunch.
I put a little strip of Scotch satin tape over the lens to smooth out the beam in the ones with colored LEDs (works great).

Re: What good (but cheap) lights for Xmas presents

Yeah, another vote for Inova X1. Very pocketable, very high cool factor for those who do not already own 50+ lights.
Often can be purchased for less than $20 bucks, too,

Re: What good (but cheap) lights for Xmas presents

The Inova0 is a beautiful flashlight. You might wanna look into that one.

I reckon that nearly all of the Nuwai products are worth a look. All of those I have seem great value for the money.

Re: What good (but cheap) lights for Xmas presents

What about a Peak LED Matterhorn. These are great lights. They also have a few "Discount Items" that are pretty cheap.

Re: What good (but cheap) lights for Xmas presents

Great ideas guys!

Thanks,

I'm kinda partial to the Ceemore lights.
