I picked up a new flashlight at Bass Pro yesterday. I like having a powerful light around the house when something is going on out in the yard or down by the shed at night. This one was originally 79.99, marked down to 69.99. I got a 6% discount and had some points from a few past purchases so it was 34 bucks out the door…
1200 Lumen, rechargeable, small and lightweight. I tried it out in the back yard last night…Wow, I could light up the base of a tree about 400 yards away. I know there are much more powerful ones out there but this one is pretty handy for what I need…😁
Anyone else got a favorite one…… ?

That's pretty nice. They sure came a long way. I remember when to get a bright light the flashlight was huge and heavy.
Mag lite brand has always been favorite.
I have a good deal more self restraint. Same couple for 3 years or more, plus a hand crank light in the truck. Knives on the hand...
I do admit to having a streamlight wedge in my jeans 24/7.
Not sure I will have to say yes
I would wager at least 25 +/- Around the house all sizes and types and 5 or 6 of the "head light " strap on type their great to use at night walingaround the yard or working on anything by my self
And can't blame the wife and kids for not holding the flash light right LOL
oh and at least half dozen battery lantern style lights
As a kid we had one cheap flashlight you had to bang on it to get a connection and hope the two battery's would hold up
I am too. I have flashlights everywhere. I like Streamlights. But I have a couple LED converted Maglites in case I have to rumble! 😉
Guilty as charged. As a child flashlights were so worthless. Smacking the crap out of them to see barely 30 feet, and then not very well, didn't cut it! Once good flashlights came on the market I jumped in with both feet. My son makes fun of me but he is barely 25. He has no idea what all us old guys had to put up with.
Thank you Lord for LEDs!!!
Do they make kits to do that…. I still have a couple of the old ones around !!!!!
Wish I had one of those when I used to go racoon hunting. Had to have two kids come along just to carry the light.
Its beena while but I would say they do I have a couple I switched out a coupe that's me that way
Check out Amazon as A start
When mag lights came out OMG what great light we had or have some 4 or 5 d cell mag lights also great as a last ditch effort whepon
My oldest son still carries one when traveling
Now The LED flash lights kick butt and take names LOL
I have come back to the mag lights now that they have led models not as bright as my nite cores but they don't throttle back after 5 minutes of use.
This one has become one of my favorites
A mini mag light is a secret weapon…..
I have 20 or so scattered around the property. My favorites are the Bell & Howell Atomic Beam( or TacLite).Small but very powerful.
