Best and brightest flashlight for the money?

You really should see some of the stuff they have on there Accumulator, They've got this one handheld lantern style light that puts out a beam of light like one of those beacons you'd see at a festival or an aircraft tower.

Neo62381-No, No, get thee behind me and tempt me not

If I start checking that stuff out I'll have a new, uhm, passionate interest

Consider that we have at least a dozen SureFires and a lot of others....I'm too into too many things as it is.

But I know I'm gonna end up coming back and clicking on those links some time, so thanks

A $279 flashlight?? Um, no. That thing better cook dinner for me for that price. I will stick with my MagLite. Cheap and effective.

I'm a fan of Pelican products (both cases and flashlights) due mostly to their long life and lifetime warranty. I recently purchased a Back Fire led light that is fantastic.

I had one of my Pelican cases (over 22 years of service) break at the hinge. Shipped it to them and they sent me a brand new case...tough to beat that for service.

Their lights carry the same warranty.

That 1Kw light is nuts.

I recently have been browsling around differnt flashlights and it seems that the LED technology has come a long way. They burn long and bright and very efficient so batteries will last a good bit longer than with an incand. bulb. Also an LED theoretically never burns out or needs to be replaced.

Check out the INOVA T3 or VO3 for a small light that has really bright LED's with good battery life. They are also both under 50 dollars.

As for the original question, a surefire G2 with the brighter p61lamp will be much brighter but will only last about 20-30 mins max on fresh batteries. A 3 cell light is a few inches longer, but should have the light you are looking for.

Wow so cool! Is it just me, am I the only one who thinks its absolutely wild that there is a forum dedicated solely to hand held artificial light sources Its awesome!! Its like finding a forum dedicated to scissors.

That picture of the one that looks like a light saber is insane!!

I used Pelican Cases exclusively when I worked on a dive boat. Have you ever read the warranty closely, though?
