Great Light (Now with linky goodness!)

Post by Dedicated_Dad »

Not to go starting another "flashlight thread" but...

I respect those of you who spend real $$ on flashlights. They're great pieces of kit, but as someone who ends up losing them, dropping them and then running over with the car, etc, I just can't justify the large expense.

Still, I ALWAYS carry a light, so I'm always looking for something that's good beyond its cheap price. I stumbled over just such a thing yesterday -- a little light that's so impressive for the cost I felt like I just had to share...

In my semi-local "surplus" store (lots of overpriced crap) I found a little single-AA light that's blinding bright, thick as a roll of pennies (so makes a nice fist-full if needed) and has a crenelated bezel just perfect for ripping face or cracking skull. Its tail-button even glows in the dark -- all for $10!!

Here's a link to the same light on Amazon -- though mine's black.

I'm an idiot -- link added -- thanks SeekHer!

I got a 3-AAA light the size of a roll of half-dollars for 5$ at the Hallmark shop, but no crenelated bezel. And it has a crappy connection somewhere because it won't light up unless squeezed just so.

The pen I keep in my pocket is somewhat pointy though.
'Regulate' used to mean the opposite of 'constipate.'
