any Flashlight Hobbyists?

[LOUISSSSS]

I'm looking for the brightest "long distance" (don't really care about flood, or "being seen") Flashlight i can get for $40 shipped.
I've heard good stuff about the MTE Flashlights, what do you guys think of the one this guy is selling? http://cgi.ebay.com/MTE-SSC-P7-D-LE...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2ea9072fde

what would you recommend?

Change the title to a fleshlight and you will get so much more help.

I paid $55 for my surefire and love it. No idea what model.

Mag-lites are pathetic compared to the newer more powerful lights. It's like how Macs are better than every PC in existence.

It says LED on it, its decently bright. It was only 15 bucks so im not too worried about it.

But he's right? Mag lights are good as weapons, not lights.

I like Fenix lights but they don't meet your $40 budget.

Try this:

This one is a bit more and uses CR123s but is noticeably brighter (160 vs 80 lumens)

EDIT: I highly doubt that light in the auction is 900 lumens.

OMG I'm lolling at the pics in this thread.

To the OP - is a flashlight hobbyist a real thing? It's a metal rod with some lights at the end. You can get a really good one from most shops for like $50.

Mike Gayner, you are joking right?

Mike Gayner, you are joking right?

No, is there seriously a group of people who are enthusiastic about flashlights? I mean, really?

What?

Is a knife hobbyist a real thing? It's just a sharp piece of metal, right?

Yes Mike. 84,000 members (9,400 active) at CPF. Do you honestly think flashlights are just a metal stick with a light? Like jlee says, do you think knives are just metal sticks? Would you be surprised there are enthusiasts for amplifiers, headphones, speakers, televisions, cars, rockets, remote control planes/boats/cars/trucks?

We can continue blowing your mind tomorrow.

Seriously, there's knife enthusiasts too? Why? I can understand why a chef would be into knives, but not too sure about why anyone else would. It IS just a sharp piece of metal.

How do I sign up for this?

Ok, any doubt of troll status has now been removed.

At least different knives can have different functions. There is only one function of a flashlight. I've gotta side with Gayner here. It is bizarre that there are flashlight enthusiasts.
