I decided to buy one of these lights for a nice smaller light.  These are fancier grade machine tubes and better finish lights.  Solarforce makes a great looking light.  This used to be a $90 light but they have them marked down.  So I decided to get one.  $31.99 shipped to your door.  It's rated at 300 lumens.  Here's a picture of what the Solarforce Skyline I looks like.  



Anyone interested can go here.  That's a steal.

Well I work with a guy that probably has more guns than most anyone on here.  He never even uses most of them and they just sit.  And he probably will buy more.  His answer to why he has so many guns is because he likes them.  I can buy that.  The same goes for flashlights, knives, ammo, or whatever else your heart desires.

The only thing I dont like about these newer type lights with certain bulbs is that they seem to reflect back fog real bad , and that's not good for when I use lights duck hunting -


I dont use a light at all for turkey hunting

Yes sir I have it saved to my favorites.  

Another good site is this one.  His name is Marshall and he lives in GA.  He has a ton of flashlights and good ones.  And he does youtube videos on a lot of lights he sells.

From what I hear one of the best deals going right now is this one.

wow.......... best prices I've ever seen on high lumen led's!  3,800 lumen for 52 bucks! man that's incredible! Do you have one? I'll tell  you the problem I've had is the clicky or contacts goes bad on my lights, won't stay on or dim way down and if you tap the light it gets brighter or dims.


Just looked down the page and saw you had a few other threads with lights your bought recently..... ;D  At those prices it's hard to resist ehh, I"m sure I'll be getting a couple myself.

Rick,

I think a lot of the problems can be attributed to the cheap batteries one uses.  I'm guilty there because I was buying some cheap ones for like $2 a piece, and I have learned that you want the good ones that will hold a charge longer and take the current from these brighter led bulbs.  I got a light that is ar cheapy that switch seems to stick now and then.  

That last light I posted probably is more like around 1600 to 2000 lumens.  But that is still bright as all get out for a handheld flashlight.  

Let me so you guys a chart that will tell you the batteries that are good.

You need that 18,000 lumen mounted to your swamp buggy when you go to the Everglades.   :toothy12:
