Posted by Kemper I wonder if it would be possible to hook a car headlight to a battery and use that as a light source... If so, that would be my choice. |
Posted by Assistance I also have several rechargeable CR123A-size lithium batteries that could be recharged by my small solar panel. |
Posted by leefypk Just ordered my Romisen RC-I3. Nice looking flashlight, and it's cheap, too. |
Posted by velcrozeppelin More for drainers, but: http://ecx.images-...._SL500_AA280_.jpg http://www.amazon....=1233688976&sr=8-1 20 Million Candlepower/3335 Lumens for 90 bucks. I've seen a 2 million candlepower spotlight light up a drain tunnel for about 100 yards before it hit a slight bend. I can't imagine how bright this would be. |
Posted by Allva When I started this whole UE thing I was obsessed with expensive flashlights that supposedly would make my life better when using them for exploring. Now that I've been doing this for a few years, I favor cheap lighter models... The kind you could buy at the register in WalMart or Big Lots. To me the best flashlight is the kind that you are not afraid to lose, to drop or to brake...the kind of light that you might have to ditch...the kind of light that I won't worry about because I've spent huge amount of money on it... Don't get me wrong...I own my share of pricey light emitting rigs that I use as needed. It's just lately when I'm about to enter a new location, I use one of my "disposable" flashlights with fresh batteries...No worries, no problems. Travel light, take good photos, get out alive and have fun. |

Posted by Air 33 But photographers are total gear whores anyways so.... |
Posted by TheVicariousVadder Because we all have 600 dollars to spend on a flashlight. Seriously I would spend 1/2 that on http://www.wickedlasers.com/images/products/secondary/172.jpg Or better yet... I'd spend <100 on parts and build my own. It CAN be done. |
Posted by metawaffle One nice thing about the RC-I3 is that if you wrap a little bit of thin tape around the end, you can fit a Fenix lantern-style diffuser: https://www.fenix-...hp?products_id=339 |
Posted by leefypk I usually just take the cap off of my Dorcy, but I'm a total gear whore and I bought one anyway. |
