Looking for a LED Flashlight with Side Emitters too
on: October 08, 2017, 10:51:48 AM
A mechanic came into a store where I was merchandising, and he was wearing a flashlight about normal size for a 3 AA or 3 AAA flashlight. It had a belt clip, a standard LED flashlight, but it also had 3 or 4 LEDs along the side of the metal housing. The fellow said he think he got it from Mac Tools, but it looked like it's seen some years of service.

Figured if one was going to ask where to find such a light, or something similar, this would be the place to ask.  :D

Something like https://www.heinnie.com/nebo-big-larry ? I've seen a few varieties in the larger webshops.

The one I saw was about 6 inches or less. Round as a 3 AAA or AA light would be; used a 3 battery cartridge insert. Was made of black coated metal, with a strong & long metal clip. Had normal flashlight mode, and a side LED mode that had a few LEDs on the side. Was quite bright.

If I ever see him again am going to ask if I can take photos of it.

  This one looks promising. It's a bit longer than the one I saw.
