    Ryobi FVL51 flashlight sure is bright

    I have had this Ryobi work light for several years and I used it very often. It is a hybrid in that it takes their 18v batteries or you can plug it into an extension cord. It has been a great work light. I use it in emergency power outages too. You can put it on low and aim it up at the...

    Flashlight technology sure has improved over the years

    Back in the 90s when I did a lot of backpacking, my AA Maglite was the fancy flashlight to have. I went RV camping with some friends recently at a state park which had very little lighting. My friends were using their cell phones for flashlights. I pulled out my Wuben X4 flashlight and they...

    Flashlight technology sure has improved over the years

    This week, I pulled out an older Rayovac LED flashlight to look at something outside. The flashlight was quite dim so I thought it needed new batteries. But even with the new batteries it was still pretty dim. I looked up the specs on it and it is only a 40 lumen flashlight. I then looked up...

    What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?

    I have the Coast Polysteel 400 in my truck. It is compact, tough, and bright. I also keep a Wuben G5 in my console that I can grab when I need a flashlight to carry. It is tiny and quite bright.

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    I wanted to have a rechargeable flashlight so I bought the Ryobi FVL51K compact 600 lumen flashlight. I hate those flashlights with the sealed, non-replaceable batteries. This Ryobi light is made to remove the battery and it has a really good, bright beam.

    Ryobi FVL51 flashlight sure is bright

    Most of my flashlights take AA batteries and I decided that I really need a rechargeable flashlight. I have tons of 18v Ryobi tools and recently started buying some of their small tools that use their USB small batteries. I saw the compact Ryobi FVL51 flashlight on sale at Home Depot for $29 so...

    Ozark Trail 500 lumen headlamp

    Several weeks ago I was walking through the camping aisle at Walmart and I spotted their Ozark Trail 500 lumen headlamp. I costs just $9 so I grabbed one to try it out. I have used it several times now and for a cheap headlamp, I am impressed with it. Some of my other headlamps cost around...

    Ryobi USB rechargable 4v flashlights

    I like Ryobi because they make over 280 different tools. I have around 25 of their tools and I use them all on a regular basis. This weekend we will be going camping in our camper and I will be bringing 6 Ryobi tools with me. I will bring their small hybrid fan, drill (to use with a socket...

    Ryobi USB rechargable 4v flashlights

    I take it you don't like strobe lights? I don't know why it has a strobe feature, it is not a feature I would use, but I like the other feature.

    Ryobi USB rechargable 4v flashlights

    I am a fan of Ryobi tools and have quite a collection. Ryobi recently came out with a line of power tools that take a small 4v battery that recharges by USB. They have some new interesting flashlights that take this battery. Has anoyone here tried their new compact flashlight or the piviting...

    Favorite budget light 2022

    I picked up a Nebo Newton 500 flashlight recently and I have been impressed. The fit and finish is very nice and I really like the flood light feature. It is a very even and bright flood light

    Longest runtime for budget single AA or AAA led light on low setting to be used in tornado shelter

    I know this is not a AA or AAA light, but this is what I used to light my house during hurricane Ida last year. Ryobi makes these area lights that clip on top of their 18v power tool batteries. It has 3 light levels, 25L, 170L, and 400L. If you use their 9ah battery, the light has around 40...
