So xmas shopping and drinking, I've decided my 15? Yr old 3D cell maglight isn't cutting it anymore, except as a weapon!

Santa got me this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V7T1YRQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I opened it and checked it out, it's ok, it's what I'd expect a 13$ flashlight to perform, like a kick *** free hf freebie.

now I'm looking around for better, anyone have what they consider the best golly darn flashlight, that's not 180$

The only thing better than a 3 D cell maglight, is a 4 D cell maglight! :D

I've got one somewhere (a 4D) when it was the thing to have. I think they retrofit them now with those high intensity LEDs.

I guess then the 4 D's would be severe overkill in the power department.

I've had a few tactical flashlights in my time. Surefires are nice. I have a Pelican M6, the Xenon lamp type too, both of the former use CR 123 batteries which are sort of "niche" and pricey.

My current favorite was free; a finders keepers free.
It's a LUX-PRO LP500. Sort of a mid grade tactical light with a three-function end-cap switch. I like it a lot, it takes 3 AAA in an inner holder.

I watched a guy take a 3D mag lite to the mouth one night. It was brutal. It was like the guy already had a mouthful of teeth and blood that just exploded out of his face on impact. Freaking brutal.

How long have you had it? Does it work well, both light and the stun function?

I demand a demonstration! :D ..and a torture test.
You think it will take down a Poboy?

I've had it a few months now. Works awesome for $13 and is bright also. It's nice having the recharge function. You only have to charge it for a hour every month and your good to go.

It works. But not like a regular one. 2 of my friends were drunk one night and shocked each other. Hahaha. They hit each other for a second and said it was a jolt but not stupid.
