I have been looking for a new flashlight for the last couple of days and have been looking on videos on youtube to figure out what I want to get. Figured I would throw one up that I have been carrying for the last couple of years that has served me well.

Awesome.

Sometimes these cheap lights turn out to be keepers.

Thanks

I actually have a surefire G2, but carry this one instead, just for the simple fact that it uses 1 aa. I got so tired of picking up my G2, just to find that it was inadvertantly turned on and the batteries were completely dead. a couple cr123's gets really expensive really fast. I am currently looking to get a Nebo Redline SE. The website claims 250 lums (but we all know how that is), but the YouTube vid I saw on it made it look like it is damn bright. It works off of 3 AAA's, so it is a little more, but I keep tons of AAA's around the house. Battery life seems pretty good for em too. We will see when I go to the gunshow this weekend. I will try to do another video on it if I get one.

There's a lot to be said for having a bunch of cheap bright led lights that run off AA or AAA batteries.
