Looking for a flashlight
« on: January 03, 2012, 10:26:10 PM »
Must:
-be LED
-run off of AA batteries
-cost $10 or less
-not be a piece of junk
-emit around 70 lumens

This is not for tactical purposes.  Just looking for a reliable light with decent brightness for things like hiking over lava fields after dark.  My mini-mag did well, but at $20ish a pop, I won't be stockpiling.

http://nebotools.com/prod_details.php?id=31&cid=16 might suffice.

I picked up one of these at Z Sports down in Hilo for $10. Liked it so much I bought a couple more for my roommates for Xmas.

Seems well made but I've only had it for a couple months so the jury is still out. Also only 50 lumens so it doesn't meet that requirement. I was just stoked to find a good feeling AA LED light since I have choke rechargeable AA's for other stuff.

Kinda hard on that combination!

I've gone through so many POS flashlights in my life and after getting sick of em being dead when I need them, i've just started buying Surefire, Fenix and 4sevens.  KGS has a decent selection of Fenix AA flashlights that are around $25 - $40.  Or look online if you don't wanna go there.
