cool flashligt
 

i got this flashlight last tuesday from REI. its an LED made be Princton Tec and claimed to have outstanding battery life so i thought i would put it to the test. i turned it on and it has been going for 5 days straight with no loss in brightness so far (i expect it to go for a few more days). pretty cool :cool: thought you guys might like to check it out, might be a nice one to keep on the boat for emergancy use.

Some guys on OSO freak me out.

GD - thanks for thinking of us. Let us know when it dies. . .
And . . . how much ?

Re: cool flashligt
 

What type of batteries is it running on? D??

Re: cool flashligt
 

That looks like the same kind homeland security uses. The ones they use have a bulb in the middle then 8 or 10 super bright LEDs. Is that how yours looks?

Re: cool flashligt
 

it was 8 bucks on clearance at REI.com. its a small light with 4 AAA's . . hell D's would last a few months :D . . . . . can ya tell i'm bored :rolleyes: . . . oh . . . .an Roux . . . i've had a few tonight, trying to entertain myself, ran out of porn sites . . . :drink: :D

Re: cool flashligt
 

Dang guys, that thing will never go dead. See that electric cord?
I circled it in red fer ya. ;)

Re: cool flashligt
 

I did the same thing with an led pen light after around a month it was at half its brightness.

Re: cool flashligt
 

damn US1!!! . . .i tried to photoshop that out . . .nothin passes the watchful eyes of the OSO gang :drink: :drink: :evilb:

Re: cool flashligt
 

If this was a live WebCam I would never sleep. . . . four 3xA batteries . . . now I don't know about the rest of you, but I will NEVER again own a non-rechargeable battery. It's almost an obsession now.

I have 36 rechargeable batteries - from 3xA to 9v. . . I plan to add more. The only kink in my habit is the availability of the Carl's Jr. Chili-Cheese Six-dollar Cheeseburger . . .
Honest to GOD - there is NOTHING short of a Tommy's ( SoCal only ) that can even approach the DECADENCE of the CJ6CC ( Carls Jr. Six-Dollar Chili-Cheeseburger ).

But I digress . . . any money I would not spend on the CJ6CC would be spent on 3xA batteries for my new flashlight. . . if GD can reassure us all that this SPECIFIC flashlight is worth the investment. . . only *time*. . . will . . . tell.

Re: cool flashligt
 

screw it . . i'll trade ya a Princton Tec flash for one of those burgers :drink:




this may very well be the most mindless thread i have ever started . . . i been hangin around Packinair to much :rolleyes: :drink:

Re: cool flashligt
 

I bet the girls are wondering why their "battery toys" don't last that long.

Re: cool flashligt
 

How bright is it compared to a MAG LITE???

Re: cool flashligt
 

If you need a flashlight on the boat for 8 days straight you are screwed. :D

Re: cool flashligt
 

You have a point Masher!! :D :eek:

Re: cool flashligt
 

I've got an LED flashlight a friend bought for me at Sears. He raves about them. He's an Electrical Engineer that has a thing for flashlights. He must have a hundred of them. Harbor Freight has two different sizes and had them on sale recently. You can check out their web site.

Re: cool flashligt

Re: cool flashligt

todays tuesday right??? :drink:

So Dave Ive been waiting all this time:rolleyes:How long did it last??


Rob:drink:


So whats the latest greatest flash light out there?

:lolhit::lolhit::evilb::evilb:

Nope.....it's Sunday.

(this reply can change tommorrow though) :lolhit:

Are you sure it's been working continuously for 5 days? Maybe it went off when you weren't looking. I think you should actually sit and watch it before you give us your report!:drink:

LMFAO :D . . . . Rob how the heck did you find this 'ol thread? The funny part is i clicked on it after reading the title and saw Gino's post and i was like "what the?" then i jumped to page one and saw it was a thread i started years ago. toooo funny. I lost that flashlight long ago but replaced it with a similar one. I like these cool head lamps these days. This one is a Primus five bulb led that only uses three AAA's. Pretty damn bright for such a small package :cool:


this technology also deserves a look though :D

I started thinking about flashlights again,Trying to figure out what kind to buy,the selection out there is unreal, I want a good one figure around $100-250.,i was searching the flash light fourms and remembered this thread,lol How do you loose a light,The only thing Ive lost ever was a pocket knife for 12 years then found it in my yard:drink:

I dont want your youtube shakeit style,:eek:


Rob

I bought one of those shaky flashlights when they 1st came out. Broke the thing open for a looky see only to find it had a small standard calculator battery in it.

uhhh . . . wait a minute . . . there are flashlight forums? . . . you mean like flashlightsonly.com? . . . . :confused: . . . . a hundred fifty to two fifty? . . . . for a flashlight?!?!?:D

this ones all you really really cool flashlight(a G for a stinkin flashlight? :eek:)


Actually i broke the case on this one, fixed it then pretty much moved on to a new one. :drink:

The best money can buy. Just ask any Military/Law enforcement person or read the "True Stories" on thier site. http://www.surefire.com/

his one is small,pricey,70 lum

I'll take a Dave's cheeseburger (Fairfield Calif ONE & ONLY) over any franchise burger.:drink:

Either a recharge halogen mag. or a halogen rechargable stingerlite. Mag is about 80-120 depeding on where you get it. The stinger is about 120-150. I have 4 mags and 1 stinger. Mag is a bit big but lights well. Stinger is a much smaller version but with it being a halogen bulb it lights nice and bright just not as much area as a mag. Can i get a burger for input sounds like i need to try one.
-Mike

The new ones are always pricey to cover the design cost. Try one of these. http://www.surefire.com/G3L http://www.surefire.com/6P-Led
