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.

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.

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.
