The Coleman 3AAA LED multi-color LED flashlight is a must have for any outdoor enthusiast. The bright 65-lumen Cree XR-C LED works well and features 3 different colors of light on a rotating wheel. The weather resistant body is designed to resist both shock and vibration and is great for both outdoor and indoor use. the fact that it comes with a 3-year limited warranty shows that Coleman built this light to last.

The Coleman 3AAA LED multi-color LED flashlight is extremely lightweight yet sturdy. The anodized aluminum body weighs in at a minimal 4.8 ounces but is rugged enough to last through years of outdoor use. This small package only requires 3 AAA batteries to operate and lasts up to 6 hours of continuous use on white light before the batteries need to be replaced. The red and blue lights will run for an impressive 50+ hours before running the batteries too low to operate.

Pelican 8060 LED Flashlight Review

Any outdoor enthusiast, whether you are an avid adventurer or a weekend warrior, knows that a flashlight can make or break any outdoor night event. There are so many flashlights out on the market that it can be hard to choose. While there are some good brands to purchase, you will find that any product made by Pelican Products is far superior in quality and construction. One of the top rated flashlights that you can find is the Pelican 8060 LED Flashlight.

The full size 8060 flashlight runs at 13 inches in length to ensure that you have control of your light source in any situation. Weighing in at 23.2 ounces, the 8060 is hefty and you should be aware that this flashlight should not be used for backpacking trips as it is too large to efficiently pack. Other than trips that require as little as possible, the 8060 can provide you one of the brightest light sources commercially available. With a blinding 190 lumens, you can be sure that everything you point the 8060 at will be illuminated. The light beam does not provide any dark spots like cheaper quality flashlights and can cut through fog and light smoke. The “Grenade Grip”, as it is referred to by Pelican, provides a comfort grip that is both functional and stylish. The 8060 has a slide switch that can be pushed for quick bursts of light or you can use the on/off function as well. An issue that many people come across with flashlights is that they might leave them on when left lens-down on a table or the ground. The 8060 gets around this functionality flaw by creating divots on the lens shell. This enables a user to see the light if the flashlight is left standing up on the lens.

While most lights of this quality will cost hundreds of dollars, Browning has put the Hunt Master LED onto the market at a considerably lower price, and they’ve done it without parring back the quality. The Hunt Master has all the power one could want, is of a very robust and quality construction, and costs less than one hundred dollars. That alone will be enough to draw people in, with the expansion of the LED market over the last few years, and they’ll be hooked once they have actually tested the light and seen it in use.

With an aluminum body and olive drab coloring, the Hunt Master looks quite at home in the woods. The body is very thin for most of its length, only around the size of large highlighting marker, and then fans out at the end to encompass the lens, which is boasted to be unbreakable. At just over six and a half inches long, this makes the Hunt Master very convienient as far as carrying is concerned; when moving about in the woods, it doesn’t have the bulky quality that is constatly catching on things, and one’s arm will not get tired just from carrying it. This is great for long stretches of time, and it can fit easily in a belt or pocket to get it out of the way if something urgent arises.

RWS M54 Diana Air King Reviewed

It took many years of testing and hard work to create an anti-recoil system that completely eliminates recoil but it has finally been done. The RWS M54 Air King Air Rifle features a floating action that slides on steel rails and is virtually recoilless. This was a feat thought impossible before the release of this top of its class air rifle.

Recoil is eliminated by the action, which slides back slightly and moves away from the stock just enough to absorb the recoil. This gives the pellet time to leave the barrel before any of the shockwave is felt by the shooter. Not only does this practically eliminate the recoil, it also increases accuracy. The barrel jump normally associated with recoil is completely a non-issue with this air rifle.
