Picked this up at Homer Depot yesterday. 14.99 for 100 lumen is unheard of. Their 2xC model is 140 lumen for 24.99, again, unheard of. I have went through a shit load of cheap LED lights to know when I have found something good. I'll be going back for the 2xC model this week.

If your a LED light freak like me, check these out.

That's sweet.
Expensive little batteries.
5w Led??
Amazing how long these new LED's put out super bright white light on one charge/set of batteries.

I also like how effective they can be at night as far as personal protection.
Unfortunately, we can't exercise our 2nd amendment rights up here at the moment, like you guys can.

fo-reel???

I have a couple dozen hi-output flashlights
Sam's Club has (or had) a 200 lumen lights ..2 pack for $30 (??)
focused beam, low, high and strobe features on 'em too

The two on the left are from Sam's Club
200 and 120 lumen
water proof to 3 meters

My full size MagLites and MiniMags have been given away or buried in a junk drawer somewhere
...they're obsolete now that quality, inexpensive hi-output lights are prolific .
I have them all over, tool boxes, glove boxes, on benches, desks and night stands

My big buck Surfire is a great light, but there's no need to spend that much anymore either


Sam's Club 2 pack...trust me

Wow, that's a super deal.
I just searched for the Rocky 2 pack and the cheapest online was 45 bucks. I'm sure that it's a reflection of Sam's buying power to sell them that cheap. I really don't find great deals like that in the city like you country bumpkins. That's one thing I miss about living in PA. Closest Sam's is 45 minutes away. Up until I found the Rayovacs, 100 lumen was going to run you 30 bucks everywhere here, even in Homer Depot.
I never owned a Surefire, but I have played with a couple. No doubt, super lights, and must haves for serious collectors, but the LED market is getting FLOODED with a ton of quality, high power (all Cree bulbed) Jap lights at a fraction of the price. You can now get 2 or 3 great lights for the price of a Surefire or similar. If I was going to spoil myself, I'd be checking out Fenix.

Costco has three packs of 150 lumens with batteries for 20 bucks.


Stay away from these. Output is great but they suck batteries like crazy. A lot of times I'd go to use one after putting in a fresh set and putting it in a drawer and the batteries would be dead when I'd go to use it. Bad design. I've read a lot of similar complaints on these models as well.

Did some research and bought this off of amazon for around 30.00. Just looked and they're going for no less than 50.00 now.

210 lumens. Awesome light.

Started my flashlight fetish.

That's why I asked the same question.

Larry's photo shows "Danger UV"

Please explain.

I've found a way to spot pee when the rooms too light. Do you carry tarps or blankets on your truck to protect floors? Put one over your head and walk around the room crouched over. Puts the dark where you need it. Ya, I know. I'm a genius.

UV is bad for the eyes, like a laser.

Is this light any better than the similar UV light you were selling in Vegas in 05-06? It has a single bulb and doesn't work worth a darn unless its pitch black. About the same size, looks like the same charger and battery.
