I am considering getting my parents a LED flashlight for Christmas. Something handy around the house with long burn time and good brightness. My limit is about $50 bucks. Your suggestions would be appreciated. thanks. |

Check out the Streamlight TL2 LED: www.adcofirearms.com/acc/streamlight.cfm?page=acc I bought one a while back from ADCO, and I love it. It is about the same size as a 2-cell SureFire, just a helluva lot cheaper. The TL2 has replaced my SureFire 6P for everyday use. I've had it for ~6 months, use it at least 3-4 times a week, and I'm still on the original batteries. I'm very impressed with the quality and the output of this light. For $60, I don't think that you can go wrong. Edit- See review here: http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/streamlight_tactical.htm |

for $20-$30 the litepro teknolight - 3AA 4LED flashlight with 3 tritium glow in the dark indicators for ease of finding the light in the dark. has about for about a total of 100-150 hrs of usable light .review here, available at pocketlights for $30, i have found them occassionally at gunshows for 2 for $20-$25 each. for brightness, the costco 1 watt luxon star led flashlights, in a 2 pack for $28. about 90 - 100 minutes of burn time (reportedly, not verified by me) on a set of 2 AA batteries, as bright as a 3 cell maglight, i think. color of the light varies in tint and brightness a little, from reports, but a good price for a such a bright light. for handyness, the 1 AAA 1LED $6 dorcy light available at walmart . pretty bright in complete darkness, small enough to carry in pockets, has a useless attachment wire at the end meant to be used with keyrings, but usually falls off, thus pocket use. |
