Flashlights for Camping

On 6/26/15 a member posted a question about which flashlight to use while camping.
Some members recommended a fairly expensive flashlight. Others felt it was too expensive for camping and were concerned about losing it.

Ivylog recommended This Flashlight. On a whim, I decided to try the lights.
I ordered two flashlights, they were shipped from New Jersey and I received them in two days.

I was impressed with the quality, especially for the price. I installed three AAA batteries (not included) and turned it on at night.
I was really impressed. They produce a lot of light.

My DW was also impressed. She ordered 10 more flashlights.
She thinks they will come in handy and, be nice gifts

Will I still be impressed in a year or five years from now?
Don't know, time will tell.
I do know that for now, I'm very impressed with the quality and performance of the 'cheap' flashlight.

I'm not endorsing this product. Just commenting on my observations.

Here's the Original Post
  • gbopp - I did exactly the same thing. Had two of those lights arrive in a couple days and also have been *very* impressed with them. Hope I still am in a year, but seems like small money very well spent to me.

    ps - my wife did not order 10 more though :)
  • I also purchased 2 of the flashlights the OP mentioned after reading this thread. I'm also impressed with them. They shipped to me in 2 days as well.
  • oh you said FLASH lights.... never mind I thought something else
  • USPS finally dropped off my light this weekend. Haven't had a lot of time to test, but at this point after putting batteries in it and mashing the button on the end it lights up :) I guess that would fall under the "so far so good" category. If I can get a year out if it I will be happy, especially at this price point.

    I really like the headlamp style. It is great to have both hands free and for some reason the light is always pointing in the direction I am looking!


    Me too! I have them stashed everywhere. I have a 7-LED headlamp that's so bright it sunburns my nose (J/K) It IS invaluable for navigating down the unlit channel and docking our boat at night.
