| | What size maglite should I get? < on 7/29/2006 7:09 AM >
| | | Well I don't have a flashlight. And I've really wished I'd had one on the past couple of occasions. Maglites are good quality so I've decided to go w/ one of those. The question is what size is good for UEing? I don't want something HUGE like the 6D one but I want something that is going to provide adequate light. 3-4C? 2-3D? Help me decide.

| | | *sigh* 1. I've moved this thread to UE Tutorials, Lessons, and Useful Info. 2. When posting something of this nature, this thread is your best friend. 3. A quick search for 'maglite', 'maglite info' or 'maglite model' turns up a ton of results, try looking through some of those. I'm considering buying a 6D Maglite and using it to slowly scrape away at my eyeballs until sight is no longer an issue. Hope this helps.

| | | If you're simply looking for a flashlight for illumination purposes, there are far better options to be had at that price range. [last edit 7/29/2006 4:42 PM by Ruck - edited 1 times]

| | | this is true. if you're looking for light output, there are better lights out there. the benefit of maglights are the solid construction, which lends itself as a security tool if necessary.
WTF indeed. |

| | | I have a 3d cell. bright enough to light those dark corners, but not soo heavy that it becomes troublesome. It's a reasuring weight. Holding onto that thing when you know at the next turn there may be a psychopathic junkie or bum ready to go crazy on you really dissolves your fears. And I am little and I can still move around easily even with it's weight.

| | | 2D with the LED conversion. They have them at walmart with the LED already installed for $30. If you want a smaller light try the Dorcy metal gear it has a 1w luexon LED and is also available at walmart for about $18.

That's what I was going for - light output. What other brands/makes are there that give off more light? I'd like to do a 2D mod w/ the LED but me and murphy are closely related so I don't know how that would work out.

| | | It depends what you are trying to compensate for. Otherwise, a streamlight is better for output.

| | | I recommend buying a 4d and a mini mag (2aa) they both come in handy in different situations. Just beware that the mini mag bulbs are shit and you'll need to replace them frequently if you explore alot. [last edit 7/30/2006 7:39 PM by TCdrainer - edited 1 times]

| | | A guy comes on here 4sevens and gives us all a discount for his lights. Then no one looks at the damn lights, and the guy even offered a 5 maybe 10% discount. This by far not the only light on the market, but lets compare this a small flashlight to one of maglites larger models.... shall we? http://fenix-store...c01405d3754d899937 L2T - About the size of a AA-maglite - 14.1cm (L) x 2cm (D) Two levels of output, changing by turning the bezel ( The high level: Constant 55 Lumens, 3 hours (Ni-HM) The low level: Constant 10 Lumens, 22 hours (Ni-HM) Two 1.5V AA ( Alkaline, Ni-MH, Lithium ) batteries , inexpensive and widely available Made of aircraft grade aluminum Hard anodized finish ( the thicker type) 59-gram weight (excluding batteries) Waterproof o Toughened ultra clear glass lens with AR coating Push-button tail cap switch Capable of standing up firmly on a flat surface to serve as a candle Compare candle power with Maglites: Solitaire w/1 AAA: 4 - 6 lumens Two AA: 10 - 12 lumens Two C or D cell: 16 lumens Three C or D cell: 24 lumens Four C or D cell: 32 Lumens "Mind you, those are optimum brightness levels on FRESH batteries. Your actual output will be less for the life of the batteries. The Fenix L2P is 46 Lumens on two AA's. YOU NEED A SIX CELL MAGLITE WITH CONVENTIONAL BULB FOR 48 LUMENS. " This light beats the best models maglite has, are more durable, waterproof, and compact. The only upside for a maglite is its heavy and can hit things. However they are had to climb with, the larger ones dont come with lanyards, the bulbs break really easy(even if the light doesnt). Plus its far cheaper to dump cash into AA's that 6D's. I'll quote Richard Nixon from Futurama skit "I am meeting you hippies half way". The effects of 2AA's is alot less then 1 of your C and D cells. Not to mention the cip inside this light actually helps keep effective light output with rechargeable lights which is un heard of. candlepower.com had a big article about it.

| | | I have a Two AA mag that I put a 3led mod and a tailcap button mod on that I usually use. I am probably going to be getting the led mod for my 4D at some point too. I have one of those belt loop holsters for my 4D, which is fun because you feel like a gladiator wearing the damn thing.
