flashlights

I would love to advise you on this but it is best left for the useless drivel forum.

Following the signals from space.

I have found that my Rayovac 3 watt Vatio serves me very well. It is a tough little flashlight that can take a lot. Small enough to slip into a pocket and bright enough to find those pesky pine tree caches. I use 2 AA NI-MH 2300 mAh batteries that give me weeks of use before I need to top them off. The button switch on the back is handy when using it to light something up for a moment. Twist the cap and it stays on.

I use a Stanley model 95-155 3-in-1 flashlight. It has three lights in one, that can be use together or separately. They have articulating heads so you can shine two straight out and one down on the path if you like. Go to Stanleytools.com to see it.

I don’t know the specifics (lumens/wattage etc.) but all I can say is that fellow cachers invite me along for night caching because of my flashlight. That speaks for itself.

Just got a new little flashlight – Nebo SE Redline:

250 lumens at 175 yds that can be adjusted down to 125 lumens at 76 yds or 25 lumens at 34 yds. Comes with a 1X to 4X zoom capability. Flashes SOS, has a strobe mode, battery indicator, magnetic base, glow on/off button. Also has a self defense head, a convex lens to evenly distribute the light (no dark splotches).

It’s about 4 inches long and runs on 3 AAA batteries.

Absolutely love it! And is now our go-to flashlight!

Holy crud. Nearly a pound WITHOUT the batteries?

It certainly boasts some staggering stats, but this has to be well over 2 pounds once you add the batteries. I did see it on Amazon for a mere $294 though. And the photo on the vendors website of this in the hand of the user was kind of funny. The 363m beam distance is pretty staggering also. At full capacity you’d burn through a $12 set of batteries in an hour (OUCH), but I guess that’s why they make it a recharable unit.

I held out for the “BIG ONE” 😯 http://www.nitecore.com/productDetail.aspx?id=75

1LB 3OZ fully loaded with rechargeable batteries.

“Staggering” is an understatement

Can find night caches at high noon …… no problem!
