Best flashlight (tactical) light Ive ever owned

[cloverleaf]

Now understand, I am not a guy who gets hung up on the latest fancy gear, but I am so impressed with this light I thought I'd share. Im sure there are better fancier ones out there but this is impressive.
Go to your local Menards and check out the "Guidesman" brand LED "Tactical alumimium flaslight set". 2 Flashlights about 4 in long. I think its about an inch in diameter (although I havent tried it in a ring) They use 3 tripple A's each, have tail cap switch, and lanyard. An advertised 5 hour run time on "low" which is 40 lumens. Also has a strobe function which I have no use for - but OK. High is 170 Lumens and its seriously BRIGHT. The beam is not focusable but it casts an unbelievable beam for at least a block. Any coon up a tree or 'yote inside 50 yds is "lit up"
Package advertises a CREE XPG R4 technology bulb. I dont know what that means but this sucker is BRIGHT. For 19.99 for the pair its hard to go wrong. Only thing wrong is that the things are made in CHINA :twisted: :roll:. CL

LED technology is providing some excellent lighting products. We old codgers (curmudgeons?) need all the help we can get ... even in the daytime. :shock:

CL,

Its amazing how a good flash light can really light up your world.

Cree is a silicone die manufacture and they also package the die into LED's. The XPG R4 series is one of the newer offerings and it can really put out the lumens.

Yeah, tell me about it....I'm there. big $$$ tri-focals help but extra light is more and more helpful. My "range hat" has a white underside to the brim. Need all the refracted light I can get. CL
