Flashlight?

Postby big dawg » Fri Nov 11, 2005 2:05 pm

I was wanting to know what is the best flashlight I could get for less than $100.

I have a stream light that I like a lot. I think I paid 20 bucks for it. Got a hat clip that is good for using while your hands are full....IMO they are worth the money

Got a streamlight super stinger and LOVE it!! A mini Q-Beam that is really small and manueverable when in need!! The ONLY problem I have with it is the bulb goes out and you are screwed and if you need it trailing a deer, when it starts going dim, you best get out quick cause it goes from bright to dark in just a minute!!! All in all, the best light I have ever had!!!!

What about the Streamlight Poly Stinger. Somebody told me that was a good one. I think it runs for about 70-80 dollars. Is this a good light?

I would go with the Streamlight Stinger HP. I have one and it's so bright I can use it to navigate a boat going duck hunting. I mounted the recharger under my driver seat in my truck and it's right at my fingertips whenever I need it and fully charged.

SureFire

Postby big dawg » Sun Nov 13, 2005 9:32 pm

Anybody own one of those SureFire flashlights. They look pretty good. Wonder which kind is best? My wife told me to pick one out for Christmas, just as long as it is under 100 dollars. I never thought i would spend that much on a flashlight, but i am ready to own a good one. I am tired of getting in the woods and having a weak little flashlight, especially trailing a deer.

I've got a Surefire. I think it's a P-2. It's the brightest light I've ever seen. It's pure white light, no dark dot in the middle like a mag light has. Only drawback is it uses lithium batteries, they're kinda pricey, but IMHO it's well worth it. The batteries can sit on the shelf for years with out degrading, so that's a positive for lithium. I would buy another one if anything ever happened to mine.

streamlight every few years (2 to 3 yrs according how much you use it) you will need to buy an extra battery. the battery life won't last long after those few years

very good lights

i believe they are waterproof also not for sure.

Try a shurefire G2, they cost around 35 bucks, get 60 minutes of burn time from two of the lithuium batteries, and you can buy a blue filter that is great for finding blood trails. Oh yea, its bright as hell!!
