I Admit I'm A Flashlight Junkie

Thanks for the comments guys.  I shined the light last night down on my neighbors horse barn and it reached it easily and that's about 400yds from where I was standing. 

I got the other smaller flashlight from the same guy and it worked for a little bit and then it quit.  It's either the bulb or the switch.  I emailed the guy and told him I'm not sending it back.  I only got a $11 in it.  But hopefully he will just send me another one.  It's not his fault.  Probably just a manufacture defect.

Seller just offered me a full refund on the other light.  Told me he was sorry.  I think the switch is bad.  I'll have to see if I can't get another switch to put in it.  But super nice guy.

You probably want something around the 200-300 lumen mark.  

Fenix TK11 would be a hard light to beat.

I myself like the 18650 batteries.  You can buy them off ebay for about $12 for 4 batteries and a charger.   You can charge them up to 500 times.

Chinese rip off of Sure Fire flashlights.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

SureFire makes some great flashlights no doubt.  But the drawback to them especially if you are wanting more lumen output will cost you an arm and a leg to buy one.  Case in point.

I can buy a ThruNite Catupult V3 which is pure quality for $150 and it puts out more lumens in the process.

Here's the one I'm hopefully going to get soon if all goes well.  It's 1600 lumens and has 6 XR-E  bulbs.  Should be super bright.

1,600 lumens, WOW!!

drenalinld,

I sent you a pm.  

The thing I like about these big high lumen output flashlights is they give you the power if you want it.  And you still have 2 lower modes that will give you better battery life.  The lowest setting will still be brighter than a lot of smaller lights.  And the medium mode will still put out quite a bit of lumens.  In smaller lights, I like a light that at least puts out 120 lumens.  For some, that may be all you need.

I have this Fenix, great light.  Multiple outputs from 11 to 265 lumen, and only 4.5" long.

The PD30 is one heck a value for the money.  You got a nice light there.   :icon_thumright:

Well this one is coming my way.  Got it for $41.58.  That's a great buy for that light.  I'll have to show you guys what it will do at night with a beam shot.  I'm excited.  This thing ought to really light up the nite.   :toothy12:



Here's the other pictures if you care to see them.
