aa or aaa flashlight

[T Lail]

I stopped using a flashlight years ago and went to a Petzel LED headlamp........VERY bright and runs off of 3 AAA batteries......

Steve O said get the one from Gene and barry at brothers of the bow it is awesome and well worth the money best light I have used.

With a AA size flashlight you now have more power than older 3D sized ones.

Stream light 2AA high/low/strobe should you need it. Their EMS model runs low to high and runs on one AA.

I love streamlight  flashlights.  I use them for work everyday and have a headlamp and 3 aa flaslight each for hunting and work.  They also have WONDERFUL customer service and warranty.

Another vote for Coleman. For the money, it's pretty well made, sturdy aluminum, bright LED, and takes 3 AAA batteries. I think it came with Duracell batteries. Not the brightest light ever, but pretty good for the size/type of batteries. About 90 lumens. Fits easily in a coat pocket. $20. No complaints at all. I got mine at Wally World.

The one I've found that I really like is the streamlight protac that uses two aa batteries. The batteries last a long time and it is super bright.

I have used a good number of different, but I now have a fenix E21, best light I ever owned, and i won't look back. Try one, you will like it.

The Fenix light is priceless. Enough said

Fenix hands down.  Get the aa version

Petzel headlamp, 3 aaa batteries.  Works for what I need it to.  If I need to beat an animal to death or see further than 50yds, I still pull out the 4D maglite.

Once I began using these lights . . . well, let me put it this way, I sold or gave away all of my other flashlights.  One set of batteries can last me a season!  The Main Beam is BRIGHT, even at the lower settings AND gives you a CLEAN field of light - NO annoying cast shadows.

It will be well worth it, cost wise, in the long run to switch over to Gene and Barrys light (the Main Beam).

Only flash light I own any more.

If I can hijack this for a second...what about the same question but with an adustable flood?  I've been looking for an affordable one to use as my hog light for at night.  I have a mount for one I just need one that I can adjust how wide the flood is depending on the distance I plan to be shooting.

I love my SureFire P6, very high quality construction, but true, the batteries are expensive. A few good on-line sources if you buy in bulk.

BUT....

I REALLY love my Streamlight Ultra Stinger. It's not a carry around light. But for tracking deer at night or anything around the house or truck or camp, oustanding. It cost $125 and is rechargeable both AC and DC and goes forever on a charge. Really bright.

Today I bought a Streamlight ProTac 2AA. It will work fine for me. A big up-grade from my AA converted MiniMag.

I have a surefire that uses 2 cr123LED version... 100 lumens 1HR

Nice light, but... then a got a fenix headlamp using 1 AA... 3 levels perfect for bow hunting... 3 lumens for sneaking in/out of the stand... 97 lumens (over 2 hrs)
on one AA over 2 CR123... Easy choice!!!


Then if needed I bought the mac daddy TK 41 with 8 AA batteries and a WHOPPING 800 Lumens...

I am a Fenix Fan!!!

Sorry, I am going to blame it on the darn flood protection... Guess St Judes is doing well tonight!!!
