Tarrodemierda needs a new light
on: July 22, 2008, 08:22:08 PM
ive noticed,u guys there have this hitech flashlight war;)

i dont know anything better to look at,im so confused in flashlight threads,so many batteries,way too many different bulbs etc,that i dont know where to start,to upgrade from mags to some better ones.there should be some topic  like "flashlights for dummies",IMO :D


i could easily buy some better but there seems to be like hundred different ones.
id like to have one with some batteriees i  buy get easily,nothing special,led or cree bulb,bulletproof,weight isnt an issue at all,sheath would be nice,clip is useless,8" max,and cost 50usd at max.

meanwhile i just tune my maglite.....that doesnt exist;).

The Fenix L2D that Mike is getting would probably suit you.  That was the Q5 version and was $61 delivered anywhere in the world.

say no mo mister :D

its the same with leathermans u have on ebay,brand new ones for some 50-60 usd,here theyre 90-120 euros.

its a long long time since ive wasted my money in any Finnish gear shop.....

hey are there any thicker flashlights u can link maybe to me?

that one u linked seems good but it seems like a pen light somehow in my eye.i dont mean to mock up,its just it seems so slim.

Uh-oh.  Sounds like somebody needs an ElektroLumens.  :D

I have 4 Luxeon LED ElectroLumens Quadstar for sale that takes 6 AA batteries.  It is modified from a MagLite 2D body and is BRIGHT :D

I'll look for some more options for you also Tarro.

If Terry can hook you up with that Electrolumens then I would be giving that a serious look.  I have a 3D Electrolumens and they are awesome.
