Default Your experiences on flashlight.

Hi, All. I am a new-bie here. In fact, a flashlight designer.
I have talked with soldiers, cops, engineers, but have no experiences about drivers and flashlight.
Let me know any advice from you. Thank you!

I also hope to post some photos here. but it's not allowed.
OK, let's see them later!

A flashlight small and lightweight for me to carry around in my overnight bag is what I look for but, still enough light to see.

Thank you! Man.
Do you mind using rechargeable Li-On batteries?
They are more powerful than AA batteries.

to put it simply, i do not fall into anything too expensive. the lite bulb in your flashlite must be expensive to replace.

i'll stick to the cheapo flashlites i get at LowDepot. they last long enough for me, and if i were to lose a flashlite (like THAT'S NEVER happened before), i ain't losing too much money.

I have to agree here, my light takes a lot of abuse, and occasionally gets lost, I won't invest in something expensive that will just p*** me off when I lose it.

LED lights are cool,but only to a point.
They have yet to market a light that will project a superior beam to my Mag-Lite.

Prices are still way out their for this type of device. I'll stick with what has proven its self to me for over 25 years.
