A decent cheap flashlight is the Coast G45 at 385 lumens that takes three AAA batteries. It has a nice bull's eye pattern with a dimmer halo and good throw. You can usually find it for about $20 at various hardware or home improvement stores.

I bought one similar to this, an HID torch light a couple of years ago and the thing is not only a war club, it throws light like nothing I have ever seen. Probably at least 6 times the light of a vehicle on high beam. Great for the mountains at night.

Does that take 2 of the 18650's?

It takes a great big 8700mAh Li-ion battery. I have two of them so I can bang in the other one in a jam and the first one goes dead.

Here's an example:

Huh. Nice. If they could get the working CDR Amps up over 30 or so without dropping the mAh under 6K or so then it'd be an interesting choice for vaping.

I wanted to bounce this off of the forum - as I'd like to get one more aside from the one I'd linked in the OP - that one is for viewing paint surface on cars. I still need a higher powered one that's a little bigger beamed. I appreciate all of the feedback and ideas!

Find an haunted abandoned mine to test in. It’s the only way to tell if a flashlight is any good.

This is the one that gets the most use as I'm freaking always doing shit with my hands.

For heavier duty shit, I bought these because they were cheap as **** and take AAA batteries.





Also use this in the field if the situation calls for it.

Yeah. It’s for a hat. It’s not terrible bright but it will light up your hands and you can see where you’re going at night.

Mine is 3 years old and I am .... let’s say not very nice to it.
