What's your go to FLASHLIGHT?

Yeah FEMALE , with some hairy ass legs

 

Streamlight stinger LED. Also have a Streamlight pen light led.

 

Same here, Streamlight pen light, love it

 

I actually found a REALLY bright Bushnell tactical LED flashlight under the hood of a used Tacoma a few weeks ago. Usb rechargeable. Insanely bright.

 

This is what I found.

 

If you got that for $8, you got a screaming deal. I have one.......awesome light. At that price I would have bought 4 and just had them everywhere.

 

I use a dive light made by a company called Big Blue. Rechargeable, compact, 1200 lumens, variable focus beam. Great for spotting deer, walking at night, or a night dive!

 

Mag light

 

They had their garage sale event, I actually bought another brand Fenix pd35 for $11, they were returns but new..

 

i'm a fenix fan.

PD35


and a TK11



been thinking about a bigger one but those two throw so much light, it's kind of ridiculous.

 

SureFire G2X Pro. Has low/high feature, but mainly, it's a SureFire. I have a few SureFire WML's and although pricey, they take a beating and keep shining.

 

Has anyone ever used the Fenix warranty? I have a torch from them that doesn't charge, stopped a few weeks after i bought it and this thread just reminded me of it.

 

I bought a $230 Fenix off e bay new. The flashlight arrived on time but did not work at all. I contacted the seller and he said to send it back to him and he would credit my card. 6 weeks later the card hadn’t been credited. One more e mail and my card was finally credited.

 

i've not needed it. mine have been bulletproof for years. haven't heard anything bad about their customer service though.

 

Atactical A1S have 4 of them they are great and pretty cheap also. Keep some in the cars, 1 in the house, and then one is always with me hunting.

 

cool. i think it may be one of the first models with USB charging from what i remember, so it's kind of old. I'm going to inquire.

 

Maglite or Surefire ... both Made in America

 

Using Chinese LEDs and parts

All SureFire illumination products are designed, perfected, and manufactured in the USA with the finest materials and components sourced worldwide.

My guess, Maglite is the same. Almost all LEDs are coming from overseas these days

That said, Fenix has been my go to light for years.

 

I'm partial to the 18650 battery flashlights. Surefire, Fandyfire, Ultrafire, any of those cheap chinese torches are fine as long as you know what to look for as far as the actual LED type, bin ratings and optics/reflectors.

Most of my flashlights were from DealExtreme: https://www.dx.com/c/lights-lighting-14/portable-lighting-1800118/flashlights-torches-5407

 

Samsung s7 edge

 

Update on mine, got a dual package set from Home Depot, Coast brand, small hand helds 440 lumens, 3 modes, spot to flood, $20, one for me and the wife, bright AF

The earlier post in this thread was for the T100, for the Tundra, Hands free, Milwaukee headlight, $65, rechargable and a Coast 1440 lumens hand held both from Home Depot

 

It's not a good option for camping, in the woods, being outdoors, around water, on a hike, around gravel roads etc

I'd rather use a dedicated Flashlight that can withstand some abuse and not worry about grabbing it with dirty hands or dropping it.

A phone is good in some situations but not many for me.

 

olight S2R II and an S1 Ti

 

My EDC is a Streamlight protac-1l-1aa https://www.streamlight.com/en/products/detail/index/protac-1l-1aa

My work light is a Rechargeable Flashlight, BYB F18 LED Tactical Flashlight, 800 Lumens Super Bright Pocket-Sized CREE LED Torch with Clip, IP67 Water Resistant, 5 Modes for Camping, Hiking, Emergency & EDC (Black) It's on Am for $20

 

The one with dead batteries in it.

 

Tragically, this is true. [I think some of the LEDs are coming from Germany though.]

Very few products are 100% American made anymore. [I even hate saying that.]

That said, I try to buy products assembled in America with a majority of American parts, whenever possible.

I have a 2015 4runner Trail Edition: 100% made in Japan; of course, they are our ally because we dropped about 30 Kilotons of explosives on their ass.

That's why I love those stickers the Texas boys here have that say 'Made in Texas'.

Dad told me that we could buy foreign products, if they are assembled HERE in the greatest country in the history of the world.

But, yes, I concede your general point.

 

@TundraDude18 if you think it's difficult to find something 100% USA made and course, trying finding something Canadian.
