Greetings All, I am hoping this forum will be as usefull as the Practical Machinist Forum has been for me in my trade!. That forum site had a tread on flashlights that caught my interest. I have an awesome machine shop, though I am disabled and only do work on the side as I am able too. Now that thread caught my interest, I have only used Maglight flashlights for years, then I find out about this new-fangled type units!. So, I went out and purchased a keychain type light for $3.49 at Menards and last night purchased a LED Upgrade Kit for my 2-AA Pocket Maglight, WOW, on both!. So now, I apparantly have been hooked and would like to find out which type I use most often, in my price
range is recommended by all you folk's!. I would like to start first with the equivalent, size
wise to the 2-AA Maglight and would prefer a unit that takes double A batteries (AA), if that is possible, if not, I will have to convert, and I would like to start in the under $40.00 price range!.
I have been looking in the Surefie Website and could only find one under $40.00. And that is the G-2 Nitrolon for $34.00 plus holster and shipping. It sounds good, looks to be the perfect size for my starter unit. So, I ordered a regular catolog from them to look at.
Here is where I need your input, folk's!. What information can you start me out with, any and all feedback will be most welcome!. I need to learn about this well before the end of the year, in time to buy my dad one for a gift, and of coarse, myself!. So, if you feel you can share some insight, I will be back to my computor in about 2-3 hours to check out your information!. Thanks All, I do hope this will help me to learn about a new to me area of technology!!... Sincerely Jim Luck........
