    I've been getting a spam a day from these guys, not sure if they are any good but they certainly seem to think so. I didn't click through all th BS to see what the real price is. The one you posted does seem to be a good price, although I would prefer it take regular batteries. There are a couple of flashlight threads around here already.

    I did the high intensity Surefire lights for a short stint. Very short. 2 hours runtime on batteries that run 5 bucks a pop, or close to it, doesn't work in my book. The led lights that use the AAA batteries are the way. Period.

    Agreed! But the small lights that run on cr123 batteries pack some serious light for home defense and or quickjobs around the house. Anything you need an extended time with a light the aaa or aa are the way to go.

    Yes and I'm working through my FAD :whistle:And don't get me started on my KAD :picard: I sometimes even find deals that include a flashlight with a knife :thumbs:

    Love the CR123 flashlights but I have not had to buy batteries in 20 years as I have an almost infinite supply of slightly used batteries from work as we use these for some of our instrumentation and we go through a couple hundred a year.

    My current favorite flashlight (I have 3) is the 3W LED Rayovac Sportsman Outdoor | Rayovac

    I ordered a few of these flashlight yesterday for myself and friends and family but I had a little issue with the online order (appeared to be on my end) but when I called the customer service number the ladies were very helpful. I received order confirmation and UPS tracking emails shortly after placing the order. :yes: Thanks for enabling my FAD Smokinpiney :D

    You peeps complaining about cost of cr123's need a few sets of rechargeable Batts. You can get them for under $10 on amazon with a charger. Buy spares so you aren't waiting on a charge!
