I like the survival kit/bob thread, but wanted to start this one to talk specifically about flashlights since there's so much content.
I'm in the market for some flashlights for edc, car, pack, house, family, etc. I want to order 5-6 lights ranging from $10-$60 each. I'll most likely stick to AA/AAA since they're readily available.
I was thinking of ordering a few Fenix E01 for my mom, sisters, and girlfriend. There's a group buy on calguns for $10 each right now. If there's something comparable, please let me know.
For myself for EDC, I want to pick up a nightcore D11.2 (although there seems to be a battery drainage issue at the moment), fenix LD10, 4sevens Preon, or this XM-L Xeno E03 (http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/sh...!!!-500LM-AA-14500-Pocket-Rocket!-(CW-NW-WW!)). Pretty sure I can't go wrong with either one.
Then I wanted to get something a little bigger for bed side, car, pack, etc. I guess I'm really limiting myself by sticking to AA/AAA, but I don't want to get into the lithium/nimh mess. There's so much details about charging, discharging, amps, volts, protected, unprotected, I get a headache trying to figure it out.
What light do you pack?
