Here is the one that I use at work. It is by far the brightest flashlight I have ever seen.

I've got a dozen of them. Everything from 4 D cells to the little mini that fits on a key chain. I have four of the ones that take 2 AA's for work but they eat batteries and bulbs. The Stream Light is rechargable and I have a friend that has one that is using the same bulb for 4 years. That and it has to be 10 times brighter.

I have never been impressed by maglights.

Exactly.

Luxeon stars are the future in lighting. They are using them in dive lights now.

They fit in a pocket ok. That is about it. I can see the beam from my Stinger 30-40 feet away on a wall during the day (inside my work that has skylights and 400 watt metal halides all around), I can barely see my maglight beam 5 feet away with new batteries at night.

Snoop what are you getting into that you need all the special ligh?

Be careful buying anything with odd batteries (Lithion ion 123, AAAA, etc). They can get expensive to replace and the LED flashlight that I had ate them like candy. That is why I either use lights that use regular batteries or are rechargable. The Streamlight Stinger that I use came with a AC and DC chargers so I can charge them at work or in my truck.

I have no intentions of buying a flashlight at all, just like gadgets.

dang, what's wrong with a good ol' 3D maglight? Mine's great, and usually lasts a year or more with the light use I put on it. Yes, it's kinda large, but it's tough.

Scott, that one you posted was pretty friggin' awesome... xenon bulb

how much do those run?

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 9:38 am

I got the Stinger with both chargers for $110. It was off the Snap On truck so I am sure it was a little overpriced. I will try to do a pictoral comparison. I am not sure if I have a bulb for one of the AAA lights that I have at home though.
