You have some of the coolest flashlights. I haven't visited the board in a while, but I get excited every time I see a notification in the 'Flashlights' thread from one of your posts.

I have been using Convoy C8 and C2 for more than 2 years. The body is completely aluminum. Waterproof. High-quality drivers and LED diodes. I highly recommend it!

I use a Coast Plasteel model but I need a more powerful model. Any suggestions? It needs to have a polymer housing and easy to replace bulb and batteries and be under 30 dollars.

I saw a large Mag Lite for sale. The handle casing is 15 inches long and it takes D-Cell batteries. Is that a good flash light to have?

Important question: Are these three different Mag Lites or are they the same light, and, if different what are the main differences?

vs

vs

https://maglite.com/products/maglite-4- ... 82c7&_ss=r

Maglite 4 D Cell Xenon Flashlight - Black Aluminum Body

ML300L 4D LED Long-Running Flashlight

Both have aluminum bodies and both say they use 4 D battery cells but one says Xenon.

Explain, please.

Thank you that is what I wanted to know. Why do you think the xenon one is 35 and the other goes for 75?

My guess would be the xenon is some old stock though can't be sure, I don't follow Maglite since quite a bit.
Also can't compare specs as they are nowhere to be found on their page :(

Was going to buy a Petzl headlamp, but changed my mind and bought a OLIGHT Warrior 3S 2300 Lumens Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight. My mom will have it near her recliner.

The two lil flashlights that we have are garbage. If this is a good light I'll buy a second one for myself.

Hi, I love Petzl headlamps, HOWEVER, beware..

They have a very fast strobe effect which is not noticeable under normal function i.e. when it appears to be a continuous white light.

This can be extremely dangerous when working on moving parts, lathe, engines, wind generator etc as this will make the High speed moving object to be stationary!!!
