Great flashlights
 

Guys, we all know that with their birght white light, the new LED flashlights are great for tracking/blood trailing deer after dark. Well Wally world is selling Coleman flashlights for $25 and $30 with 110 and 144 lumen ratings respectfully. I got a 110 lumen one and it is incredible. Even in full sunlight you can cast a beam at your feet. It literally turns the night to sunlight brightness whereever shined. A great itme to have in your pack or a gify for a fellow hunter. These are a great light for the money when you consider you would be paying at least double that for a Streamlight.

I would suggest looking at Thru-nite flashlights. Tiny and push out more light than anything it's size. Even more than larger lights twice the size and run on AA or the AAA version. $25 for the both of them right now.

My buddy has a cyclopes that he likes. Wal-Mart has a new Coleman 500 lumens for $49.00 I saw the other day. I may have to pick that one up and give it a try.

Reminded to check all flashlights
 

Checked all my third and fourth generation flashlights and a couple of flashlights and batteries not used in a year, still light.

Those fifty dollar flashlights will have to wait.

Hey guys just like anything else there is a lot of mark up in flashlights, I would try to look around and check out several different sites, all will probably have different prices. Streamlights are nice but most of them do cost a lot, dont hesitate to ask for pricing breaks or other discounts as most online retailers and even retailers for that matter may do something for you.

I know, yearn and almost every year almost purchase the "better light".

But , I still can't see (justify) replacing the old AA mag light.

Check out flea bay. I bought a Cree 1300 lumens and charger for less than $25. It uses li-on 18650 batteries and will light up the night!

Lowes has a 500 lumen Kobalt LED flashlight for $69.95. Uses 2 123 Batteries. Well made metal case and has 2 light levels. Used all season and changed batteries once. Great bargain.

Still using an $8 2AA MagLite. No problems for the last 20 yrs or so.

Sure there are "better" out there. But why spend the extra money for light.

Good to review flashlights every now and then
 

As long as I can see with my third and fourth generation flashlights, it provides enough light to see where I'm going.

Worked when I first used them; still work.

It's terrible when you get older. You just remember using a big flashlight with D batteries, and appreciate the smallness of the flashlights you use. You're better than you were; not needed is the best of the best.
