Default Strongest Flashlight You Have?

The question stands, so who will be the winner. I unfortunately don't have anything above 320 lumens. I deliberately asked this in the hunting section because hunting requires good powerful beam flashlights.

I have a lithium powered flamethrower given to me as a gift. You can almost weld with it, but it needs batteries all the time. I love the LED headlamps for hands free tasks and moving around when it is really dark. They need batteries less than once a year, and I use them all the time.

Kids gave me some big monstrous rechargable with a six inch lens that can pick out my big lab a quarter mile away. It stays in the house except when I want to check whats moving out back.

I rarely use those car headlight type flashlights because I don't need that much power. I'm perfectly fine with one AA or CR123 battery flashlight that will cover my walking area.

I have a Smith & Wesson lithium power LED flashlight and has wide and narrow light focus. Its powered by by 2 lithium camera batteries that cost about 6 to 9 dollars for 2 in a pack depending on where you buy them. The most light i have ever seen in a flashlight and its compact..

I have a TerraLUX Infinistar. I use for coon hunting. It has about a two hundred foot beam and a little over a two hour run time.

If you're looking for a bright light the SECA 1400 from light and motion is hard to beat. As the name implies it is 1400 lumens. I got a great deal on one and it's a great light but they are not cheep (in other words overpriced).

We just buy the largest and most powerful flashlights available in the local hardware stores. I haven't found a need yet for any of those special order lights. They might be fun to check out.

This is my flash light of choice. It's the best llight for generAL USE. This from a guy who uses it dayly and nightly in many different conditions. not only at work but its my favorite for home use too. The intence light is visible in daylight and its a great all purpose light.Pelican SabreLite 2000 at Discount Prices from pelicanproducts.us

Since the post started about big lights I guess I'll mention "Big Bertha" my hand held 1M candle power spotlight. It rivals the spot lights on the boat and lives in the back of my jeep. Ya gotta plug it into a 12 volt outlet and it throws a spot that lights up the night. It is hand held or ya can open the handle to a tri pod. Just like the wench on front of te jeep i live for the opertunity to use them.

hi...




I've had a Pelecan light, very similar to yours, for several years. Don't have any ides as to how many lumens or candlepower it is, but it is a bright light.

It also has a bulb with two filaments, so when one burns out, just flick the switch and the other one lights up.

And, it has a unique gaurantee. It is gauranteed for life with the following exceptions (for real): grizzlys, sharks, and CHILDREN...!!
