Inexpensive Xenon flashlight

Recommended Posts

Honestly - it's not worth $5 to me. Look at the light output - 15 lumens. Not very bright. It's about the same output as a Mini Maglite (2AA LED version). It uses Lithium batteries too - expensive.....

 

Yeah - seems low. My G2 does 65 lumens, but a Surefire E2 is only 15, so I figured it was worth it. Plus, I needed a bent-neck light with colored lenses anyway...

Costco has a sweet 3-pack of ~160 lumen CREE flashlights for something like $15-20 for the set. They have 3 modes, are compact, cheap and great to throw around the house/car to have something always nearby. Many will say its no substitute for something tacticool that costs upwards of $100 but they are nice little lights in thier own right. :icon_e_ugeek:

Yup, picked up a few packages of them myself, best part is they use standard battery's.

I will soon be carrying the Nebo line of flashlights. They are unbelievable. The below one is less than $30.

I just got that light off newegg last week they had a shellshocker deal it was $22 shipped which is amazing for the amount of light this puts out and its focusing ability. It uses 3AA's that's a bonus too because those are easy to get, its awesome your gonna carry these cause they are well worth the money really like mine so far.

I'll take my Surefire 6PX anyday. Got a bangin' deal on L.A. Police Gear that I couldn't turn down, it was well worth it.

Not sure if this qualifies as inexpensive, but it is probably the best bang for buck, although 2.5 hours run time is less then i would like but most of the cr123A seems to be around that. LA police gear does have some good deals.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
