Well, another reason to wait until movies come out on Blue ray at Redbox: It’s safer. ;-)
BTW, the 200+ lumens flashlights are amazing. Costco has a three pack for $19. The lights are small enough to put in your pocket and they are almost as bright as car headlights. I’ve compared them. In fact, I believe that if I could wire four of these to my car’s electrical system they would be better than my headlights.
I have an old, large mag lite that, even with fresh “D” cells in it is like a toy compared to one of these things. I’m talking a tenth the brightness.
If you have not purchased one of these three packs, you need to do it. Period. BTW, they take three AAA batteries.
Lowes sells LED replacement elements for the krypton(?) bulb in those old MagLights. It's a huge improvement, and those "D" cells will power a LED nearly forever.
HA! I just saw that 3-pack and passed on it...going back to get it this week. Costco also has a nice 2-pack Mag Lite set (small and large), and they’re LED instead of the old incandescent kind, so MUCH brighter and longer battery life. Those are $30. I’m grabbing the 3-pack though.
You can get an LED replacement bulb. 140 lumens for the 3-cell Maglite for $14.66. If you really want to brighten somebody's day, for $68, you can get a 1000 Lumen replacement bulb for your Maglite.
Those lights are great and my 700 lumen cree is the same size.
I’d blind the guy and then invite everyone to go blanket party on him.
What is the brand name on that three pack of flashlights?
flashlight?? What about a .45! Come on now...all good people get armed now!
Now this is something you should explore if you're impressed with 200 lumens. The helmet light I use on my bicycle is 1200 lumens. It's like a search light. Some of the better tactical lights are built around the same technology, and are simply amazing.
