Title: What kind of flashlight/light do you use?
Post by: kevin p 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.

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.

AAA maglight, or a LED headlamp.  yes hands free is the bomb.  Walmart special, for like $9.

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.
