Best/ Favorite Flashlight?
#19009761 - 10/21/13 06:05 PM (10 years, 4 months ago) |

So I need a flash light. I often run wires down dark crawlspaces, and in general find myself outdoors a lot. I am debating between a Fenix LD41, a Fenix LD20, and a 5620 REDLINE Select by Nebo. I need something that will take ordinary batteries (i.e. AA or AAA), durable, bright and RELIABLE. I have gone though a couple lights... and many broke when I needed them most... I must say I am leaning LD41. Suggestions or perhaps humorous stories??

Hands free is good, but I need a hands-on one... I think they sell head mounts for it though.
I looked at a couple of my friend's maglights, but they were not bright enough... the size is good, and they are pretty durable, but they are not bright enough
@Rackem Can you post a link? The only one I have found like that is a 150 lumen one... I am also not sure about rechargable... I need something that I can have working NOW. Rechargeable batteries wear out, need to charge and streamlites are GENERALLY overpriced... that is what the interwebs tell me...

Has Maglite finally started making LED flashlights? The classic incandescent ones were durable but not very bright at all. I have a few $2 LED lights from by the checkout at a department store. They're pretty bright, something like 9 LEDs driven by 3 AAAs.

DAMN! I was gonna make the fleshlight joke! I would suggust dx.com (: free shipping worldwide, dirt cheap products, great quality for what you pay for (they have higher end products too), the only con is month long shipping time.
