    Default Decent LED flash light for 20 dollas

    If anyone is into LED flash lights, check out overstock.com. I bought one for $20 shipped and is so f****** bright!!!!!

    I bought one for my Dad for xmas and Im going buy another one after. It has 14 LEDS in it and uses 3 C batteries. It is really bright.

    The box says visible white light up to a mile, water resistant, aluminum casing

    actually those are for 5 bux in our place, the cost from china is less than 1$, I bought 2 types one with the high intensity 1Watt LED and the other with an LED matrix I got them for less than 7$ from china town in Dubai. but this new type of lighting is going to be used in cars soon, a matrix of high intensity LEDs in the head light area. that would be the best as we wont be worrying about dip beam messages

    Sorry to bold but I want everyone to see this.

    I use the Streamlight Jr. Luxeon, at home, work, and on the car. It is a amazing flight light is I can tell you is better than proably any other LED light that is out there, it works great close, and very long ranges ie in a movie theatre (where I work). It comes with a great belt clip and a nice belt case. It is about $30 bucks, and comes with a no BS lifetime warantee, I have 2 Streamlights, they have both broken once but once was serviced locally for free, adn my Jr. Luxeon was replaced free of charge for a brand new one with it started working in correctly. Great company, great flashlights.

    Other lights on their website I don't know about, the other one I have is the Stinger HP XT.

    this is the same flash light I bought but with 3 X AAA bats inside but the light is the same 1 Watt super high intensity. my point was that those companies are buying these stuff for less than 5$ and selling them for 15 on wards ... I have bought 3 flashlights and one nice miniature Lazar pointer and a super bright white flash light for 1$

    I have bought a few different ones and they all seem to have the same problem. The light is very bright to look at but it doesn't carry very far.

    Default I'm somewhat of a flashlight nut and have at least

    8 of the newer generation luxeon 1 watt and various led worklights. Along the lines of JR's thread, Sears had or has some Dorcy 3 watt luxeon's that have a much higher output than the 1 watt but it you want the current leader in high output per watt for led's then the Cree led's are the current best but it changes all the time... Cree now has a 3 watt that puts out 182 lumens

    Here's a post where he's trying to replace some 500 watt halogen floods with cree 3 watts

    These are the absolute best LED flashlights I've worked with:

    ...so good that I distributed them for a while. If you get your hands on a modded one, they are INCREDIBLY bright, while still running on a single AA battery (or less). Check them out (local distributors).

    simply that's cuz it's almost 1watt, power carries the light. that's why head lights are 55+55 Watts or 100 Watts for high beams. but if you had the same power like 55Watts from an LED it will travel farther than tungsten light.
