Back in the '70s we had a contract to assemble grow lights for GTE
Sylvania. some had cosmetic defects and couldn't be shipped. We weren't
interested in running a factory store so anybody who wanted one could
grab a reject. As you walked through the little Maine town at night most
of the houses had a pale purple glow. Must have driven the cops nuts.


HAHAH! I bet! With that chaste tree looking like pot leaves plus us
building a greenhouse in the back yard, they must have thought we had
something they wanted to see. "Sure officer ... try and smoke of of that
chaste tree. What's a chaste tree?? ummm It's kin to pot... give it a

Find flashlights that have a single LED. They give more light and are more reliable.

Try this;

Gee that's really bright. That's over six times brighter than my really
bright flashlight. Doing some research, 1000 lumens is about all a T6 can
deliver around 3 amps. How is the flashlight being advertised ? It uses
AAA with optional holder. AAA suck, and I've had those plastic holders
fail, break apart, over time.

I stick with AA mini flashlights, and bigger cells for bigger physical
sized ones. I know The Home Depot has sold some decent larger sized single
LED lamps. Don't know what's current. Flashlight shopping can be TRICKY as
in above link.

500 lumens is really bright. You CAN'T look into the beam. 100-200 lumens
is a good lumens vs battery life rating.

As I wrote earlier, there are several reasons for
needing a battery power light. You mention two or
three of them. Wish the OP would write what is the
use for his flasklight. Otherwise, we're all just

Nothing in particular. In the house in a power outage. Outside at night
if I have to do something there. Under the mobile checking on things.
Whatever comes up. Seldom used, but needed when I do.

Obviously, 'flasklight' was a typo.

Flashlights, like so many things, cover a wide range
of needs and features. Please answer a few questions,
and we can do a better job of suggestions.

How much money to spend?

Less than $20

Does the flashlight live in your car, tool box,
in the house, pocket carry, or glovebox?

In the house

Do you need close vision like repairing under the
sink, or distance like racoons in trees?

Close

Will this be a self defense tool?

Hopefully not

How often to use this light? Daily? Only in
rare power cuts?

Once a week?

I was going to recommend a 'Wel-Bilt' light from Northern Industrial. Nice
and sturdy and does double duty as a weapon -- I have two of them. Sadly
they've discontinued that double-C-cell 3-W model. The do have a bigger
badder type that also uses C cells and which puts out 10W. Downside is that
it costs three times as much as the old one. Item# 38473

I can't believe I waited so long (nearly 60 years) before buying a headlamp.

Sounds like a Durabeam or some thing like that
will do fine. Two D cells, and get alkaline
batteries. Not heavy duty batteries. Should be
able to get some thing well under twenty bucks.

Try changing bifocal lenses while wearing
a headlight. Lot of fun.

Tilt up for near vision.... light goes up
also. Tilt down, light goes down.

OK, well, in that case I'd tilt my head up to
look through near vision, and the light would
tilt up.

Tilt down to look through distance vision, and
the light would tilt down.

No improvement noted.

I did that (well, it was an old filament light)

if we'd seen his eye glasses. Yes, had them

Just got an email from Lowe's about a 'special' on a rugged bright
flashlight for $20, normaly $40. Their description is "Coast 360-Lumen LED
Handheld Battery Flashlight Item #: 425982 | Model #: 20396". At 360
lumens it should be bright enough for almost any purpose.
