Default Some peeps here got me looking at FLASHLIGHTS

After the last C&C, a bunch of us went to check out flashlights and now I'm looking to get one. Of course, I couldn't see spending $100+ on a little flashlight when a Mag-Lite can knock the lights out of someone. But when I walk the dogs at night and the street light goes out, I can't see where to pickup the dog poop.

I hear SureFire is a very good brand, but I've also read that Fenix has been rated the Best Flashlights in 2009. Anyone got experience or feedback with these 2 brands?

Here's my source

Hahaha!!! I always though Mag-Lite was always one of the best.

On another note; I can actually hear my gurl telling me, "Men and their toys?!" LoL!!!

That's what confuses me Fenix has an LD20 model, 2AA batts, and 180lumens, only $60.

If we're not having baby this weekend, I'll probably come by and take your offer (if I don't just go to young guns and pick one up )

Anyone got experience with Fenix?

not quite true...
Fenix LD90 - # General Mode: 9 lumens (71hrs) -> 47 lumens (13hrs) -> 94 lumens (5hrs) -> SOS
# Turbo Mode: 180 lumens (2hrs) -> Strobe

and i seriously doubt 2AA alkaline's can do 180 lumens for 2hrs *even in strobe mode*, thats gotta be lithium times...


The surefire p6l only has one setting, 80 lumens for 11hours and surefire p6 housings have tons of accessories.

What you need is a flashlight that has the LED cluster (a-la Infiniti headlight, the Q I think it was on) ... now that would be cool.
