    Energizer 2AA Sams 80 lumens

    You should try a pack. Here's my post from a few days ago. Now my favorite light, and best I have seen in a long time. Closer to 60 lumens than 40 (eyeball): Energizer AA 2-packs at Sam's Club: $28 Bought a pack of these last week - sorry, no pics. Come two to a pack, with 4 batteries for $28...

    Energizer AA 2-packs at Sam's Club: $28

    Bought a pack of these last week - sorry, no pics. Come two to a pack, with 4 batteries for $28 and change. This time, they have done it right (referring to the Element - a great light, but the AAA battery carrier was it's achilles heel.) The writing on the packaging says 80 lumens - probably...

    Suggest SMJLED PR2 hosts?

    On your link: http://www.energizer.com/products/flashlights/flashlight.asp?cat=1 I have a PR base SMJLED in an AA Energizer work light, and it is great. Also have another one in an 84c Walmart Value Bright 2 AA light. I think the small AA lights are perfect hosts, because the size seems...

    LEDBeam 3W 3xC $24 free ship

    Couldn't agree more. My diamond 3w never gets out of the kitchen drawer any more. After luke warm reviews where the LEDBeam was rated below the 3w diamond, I was starting to wonder if I got a one-in-a-million LEDBeam, or a really bad Diamond. There is no comparison - the LEDBeam does indeed blow...

    Sam's Club Elements

    Re: Re-evaluation (Sam's Element 3AAA) "The Element has a cult following, even as Doug dislikes it. . ." Onthebeam, Agree with you! The Elements are at least very, very useful. On the other hand, I ordered my three most useless lights after favorable reviews from Doug - a River Rock 2- AA, and...

    Super MJLED PR bulb question?

    LiteSabre, I ordered two today, so with luck I will let you know in a couple of days if I see the same result. Does the bulb itself actually look brighter in the 2-D, or could it be a result of the larger reflector?

    Where has the Dorcy 3-D super 1-watt gone?

    <<I'm hoping the RR lanterns will be clearanced next.>> Me too. I think you are right in the first part of your thread.

    Where has the Dorcy 3-D super 1-watt gone?

    None of my local Targets had the Dorcy 3-Ds at the sale price. So where are they now? Were they on clearance because Dorcy has something better coming? Or maybe Dorcy is bowing out of the race in advance of the Mag light roll-out? These were amazing, even at $21.99. A real throw monster on...

    new and improved sam's club Element

    Agree. Friday night, our power was out for four hours. My wife kept an Element on the entire time. It was still plenty bright. Great house lights, especially if you use rechargeables.

    Flashlight for Elderly Mom

    Yaesumofo, I completely agree with your post, based on my 78 year old mother. I took her an assortment of different LED lights, and let her choose. Most had too stiff a switch, and the twistys were out of the question. She ended up with a Sam's Element (form factor, switch, output, and size are...

    Sam's Club Elements

    Element - Anybody else have broken AAA battery carriers The Element has been one of my all time favorite lights - perfect house light with NiMHs. But - I have found two in as many weeks with broken battery carriers. Neither had been dropped or anything. When I opened them up to replace...

    Why not more AA-powered Lux lights?

    "The Li 123A batteries were initially used for the xenon lights to supply the amount of power needed to produce that amount of light in a small package. The same is true for very high power, true "tactical" LED lights....Why haven't other companies/mfrs gone this route?" Agreed. This question...

    LED Beam 3C Problems...

    Uh-OH. I hope this is not typical, because I really like the LEDBeam. Didn't want this thread to get buried.

    Anything brighter with further throw than Inova T4?

    Ahah! Finally a chance to see how C NIMHs work in the LEDBeams. Can you notice a difference in brightness vs alkalines? I keep thinking about it, but the investment in a good C charger and a couple of sets of 5000 maH batteries would pay for enough alkies ($8 for 12 from Sam's Club) to last me...

    Target halves prices on River Rock 2C, 2AA, and reduces MiniMaglites until Feb. 27

    Couldn't agree more. I tried to like mine, but as you say, it is pretty useless. Don't remember the datails, but the Aurora review made me want this particular light. IMHO, another argument for real life beam shots instead of white surface at one meter.
