What kind of flashlight/light do you use?
« on: July 29, 2004, 01:07:56 AM »
I used to use a AA mini-mag, but picked up a mini-mag solitare, single AAA. I love it! What do you use? I've seen some cool colored lights that don't look like flashlights in sections (LEDs?). Or do you just flick your Bic?

I have a AA Mini Mag now, since my keychain LED broke on me.  I'll probably get another LED soon.

AA Mag

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

i've got a blue led push light similar to ones stage crews use for plays, concerts, etc.  not overly bright but just enough to see what you are doing

Red LED "squeeze" light. I got a bunch for free a while back. I've lost most of them over the past 2 years.

I've been through a number of AA maglites over the past few years(yeah I know they've got a waranty but by the time you send the thing away you'll need it anyways) and finally decided to go with a more heavy duty option.  Underwater Kinetics make some sweet lights for diving and that was going to be the next one to try but I found a good deal on a Pelican light which holds two AAA's.  It seems that AAA flashlights in general suck the juice way more than AA lights but it's a nice size and built like a(plastic) tank.  Definitely my fave of all the ones I've tried.

I've got a small LED flashlight....it is a tad bright so I've dimmed it down with some tape outside the lens.   I love the thing though since it gets like 100 hours off of one AAA...and a lifetime lightbulb as well.
