Camping light.

It does sound like it would come in handy but, please don't shine it at your neighbors camper. I like it kinda dark when I camp.

I got THIS one just because it said it can light my neighbors house.

Geeeze....

I've got a few of these, incredibly handy. You can't see it in the picture but it just clips onto the bill of any ball cap. The handy part is that the light itself tilts up & down so you can point it down in front of your feet, or up and further ahead.

Eveready Hat Light.

So that was you shining that stupid light around last night? Almost blinded me and my dogs. And we are in New Hampshire. Kept me awake until you finally shut the thing off. Went right thru my day/night shades, too.

I thought it was the cops looking for illegals from the helicopter. But the only illegals we get around here come from Canada.

Not to highjack...but I have given up most handheld flashlights, in favor of the head mounted strap on, hands free style. Great invention. A 'MUST' when setting up at night. Now...carry on.

Sorry dude. I'll do better.

My brightest light is a custom modified 7-mode Maglite with 6 XM-L LEDs for a total output of 4000 lumens on high. It puts my car headlights to shame.

Like this??? 6x XML Maglite project. Down right impressive:C!!!

Flashlight @ Amazon

Yep. That's it. It makes my 3 D cell battery Mag light, look like a candle. I'd almost say, it is brighter than the headlights on the truck.
And no, It won't be aimed at any other campers. But I'm thinkin I'll be able to see the bears at Orchard Lake from a safe distance.

We use the heck out of the smaller MAGLITES for camping... Perfect to have around for all occasions...

Got a new Flashlight for Christmas. 500 Lums at 236 meters. That thing lights up the world. The backyard looked like daylight last night. It's great. You could spot light deer with it, If it wasn't illegal

I imagine you mean the beam is rated to be visible at 236 meters. Congrats on your new light, it's great to have one of those.

I'm a flashaholic myself and have several bright ones. One of my favorites is an Eagletac GX25A3, a compact 3 mode flashlight with over 900 lumens on max from 3 AA cells (good NiMH rechargeables or lithium AAs are recommended over alkalines due to the high current draw). LED lights have progressed by leaps and bounds in recent years.

Congratulations on your new flashlight. Having a good flashlight when you need it is worth the money that they cost. The new LEDs make getting good light much more affordable.
