i have the 2AA Cell model and it is very dark in my house right now, but my new Daylite is lighting up the room so i can see my computer keyboard, but not disturbing others who are sleeping. 3 Watss and 80 Lumens can’t be beat for under $15 dollars after sales tax.

i would also like to get the 2C Cell model if I can find it at a fair price.

I like a good floody light for walking at night. From what I can tell, adjusting the light from flood to spot gives me about 20 to 40 more yards of visible light (yes this light is that bright). But at 10-20 yards I like to keep it on flood.

My only complaint is that the 2C version is awkward to hold onto. It’s design would be fine for AA and Cr123′s but when you get into the 2C and 2D versions it feels odd in the hand.

As a patrolman I wouldn’t be looking to use this light as a weapon, I have lights that make much better kubotans, but this light is so brutally bright, just shining it on a person at night would leave them blinded.

For lights available at bricks-and-mortar retail stores, this is easily one of the brightest. Most retail lights have no where near the lumens they claim, but this one does. Off the top of my head, I can only think of two other lights that compare… the lowes Task Force 60x, and the Dorcy 220 lumen rechargeable…. both of those lights are all throw with little flood.

If you want a floody light, that is very bright, this is the one for you. Grab the 2C version if you can find it. CR123s cost waaaaay too much!

While this is a nice and useful LED flashlight, you must know that a pair of CR123 batteries, which this flashlight needs, cost an average of $5 EACH!

And I don’t know how long these expensive batteries will last over cheaper AA, and easier available, batteries.

BTW, where can you get a lanyard for this flashlight?

Thank you for reading.

No, I’ve not seen one yet. I’ll have to try.

I have a Maglite mini, and love it. Have you seen the Maglite mini LED?
