What do you like for a small super bright flash light, rechargeable prefered.
Any op on the Atomic Beam on TV ?
Nothing too high dollar, but decent.
Thanks, Dave

For the last 5 + years I've been using those Ozark Trail flashlights at Walmart. I have at least four of them; one in each car, etc.

For the money I don't think you can beat them. They're in the Walmart camping isle.

Dave,

Without knowing your intended purpose for the light, I would suggest this light. I carry it daily on my belt when wearing jeans. It takes one AA battery. It can be set on super bright, or three different strengths of light with a click of the cap. I use rechargeables in mine. If you want some thing brighter, there are plenty of offerings from Fenix. I have several of their lights for different tasks. Their products are well made.

Give us an idea of what you want it for and we'll see what pops up.

I like Maglite which is made in the U.S.A. I must have a couple dozen ranging from a single AAA cell to a six D cell. That six D cell flashlight also makes a good weapon and you can buy an end for them which will break a windshield.

DD, something along those sytles, new tech. bright, small, rechargeable, maybe a little cheaper but not crap.

Got the 4 D cell mag. and several AA mini mags. The small ones just don't last for me, and newer stuff is brighter.
Was curious about the Atomic Beam, saw one on feebay for 12.00. But TV stuff is usually junk !!

Are you talking about the batteries on the smaller ones not lasting? The L.E.D. bulbs are a lot more expensive but will make the batteries last a long time.

Actually, SH it was the ground contact/switches that would screw up, and you'd have to tap it or shake it and it w/go out when you needed it !!
Tried LED bulbs too and they lose your magnification feature. Just trying to "modernize", but about the size of a AA mag.

I have the LED Maglites in each of my vehicles, my nightstand, workbench, and several other places.

Was on sale 29.99, free ship. Came w/battery and charger.
A lot of others did not and some were more $$, Guess I'll try it and let y'all know
Thanks everyone !

Let us know how you like it.

It sounds like just what you want. I'd be interested in hearing how you like it too.

I love mine. I start walking early in the mornings before it gets light and it is very bright and the battery holds up very good.
Plus you can go from spot to flood.

That's a pretty good endorsement. Thanks.

No confirmation yet, but I will let y'all know when I get it.
Thanks again, for ALL your help !!

I use one of quality I demand of anything I bet my life, and the life of my family on. I also use weapon mounted.

STILL no confirmation !! I called yesterday and left message...nothing ??
I emailed today and they did respond w/generic request received and being reviewed by staff ??
W/free ship I didn't expect speed, but a confirmation would be nice !!
They got right on the CC charge

Emailed them and they said "coming from international warehouse" [china?]
But have tracking # for inter. shipping 7-10 days, then fed ex 2-3 !

International shipping shows it on a plane and location info still in Chinese

Good luck. I hope it's worth the wait.
