If you have a Lowes around this is the everyday price on the flashlight. At least here in Ohio.

I did pick one up last year on black friday at Lowes for $9.00

This one is not hot. Most of joker's are great..... this one, not so much.

If I remember correctly, you can get this at Costco in a combo pack with a 2AA version for $19.99

Now if you want a *real* flashlight, get a Surefire. The Z3 is awesome.

Had the 6P. Batteries were costing me an arm and a leg. Had it for a while with no problems. Then the reflector went out. ($20.00) Then it went out again. I bought a Streamlight Stinger XT. A bit bigger, rechargable, cheaper in the long run. Even if you buy the G2, the Stinger XT is cheaper after 5 sets of batteries for the G2. This may sound like a lot of batteries, but the 123 photolithium batteries seem to go pretty quick.

Yeah, I think walmarts price on this is cheaper. I got one on clearance at walmart a while back for like $9 and that was hot and included a $3 grip that goes on the flashlight.

I think you guys are mistaken. This is a 12" version. I think you guys are referring to the mini maglite. I *think* this is a good deal.

Naw, I've seen these for $15-20 too, can go almost anywhere and get one for $20. Around Christmas time I've also seen 'em with a free mini-mag in the blister-pak.

I have about 8 different mags and the only advantage is that can can be found quickly, because of their size. Work issues me a Stinger, which is not meant for any real duty. It's ok for a nightstand flashlight if you keep it charged often. I have personally purchased Surefire 9P, Z3, g2 (x2), two weaponlights and the new L1. If you want a real flashlight, as in alot of light in a hand held package get a Surefire.

Yes batteries may be a bit more, $1.25 for 123's vs. $1.00 for D's but the real use for a flashlight is light right? Well NO maglight is gonna beat a Surefire. I don't know what your usage is but I use mine at night outside alot, and I don't seem to go through them very fast at all.

Oh, not to mention the 123's will hold their charge for 10 years.

$5.56 for one and $9.96 for two batteries is about what I used to pay. But even if you use the bulk batteries from their website, you are getting 6 hrs. worth of light. Hey, every one has their opinion. Mine is that my SureFire got to be too expensive. Side by side, the stingers people had at work were brighter than my surefire, so I upgraded. The only thing I have had to buy since then is the plastic lens cover. I don't mind the bigger size of the stinger because it is still relatively small. The only thing I miss is the speed holster of the surefire.

Guess you needed a Hot Deal on Batteries...

 

[IgoByte]

For some of the best flashlights, give Surefire a try... I love my E2E - have it in hard anodized...

As for batteries, surefire sells their brand of lithium batteries, which, I suppose, could be used in any of these smaller flashlights, for $15.00 per 12-pack. That's a great deal because at times those batteries go for $8.00 each!

OK, I've held my tongue. But I must say that ARC flashlights are the way to go. If you want quality, backed by a 10 year warranty. If you want whiter light (I know you rice boys with your fake HID lights know what I'm talking about here). Then you want an ARC.

But beware, you get what you pay for.
