Let's see how bright you are!!!!

Let's talk flashlights... tell us all what you like and don't like!

The first net of 2011 had 34 check in and was really a lot of fun. During the check process everyone talked about what they look for, or what they like, in a flashlight. Many things were mentioned a few notable features: low cost (free being the best), power, size (small is good), rechargeable, beam pattern. I think the three top considerations were: reliability, durability and battery requirements.

It was also asked if older Mag lights could be upgraded to LED bulbs... so far I have not found this to be possible.

I also do not believe it is possible to substitute a AA for a CR123 battery as was asked during the net. At least not that I have been able to find yet. I did find an interesting battery comparison here:http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=233961&page=1
