I Bought EVERY Flashlight at Bass Pro!

Will take the LED Lensor MT18. Of course, that will be the one light you keep.

Funny video. Even if not exactly cheap the LED Lenser flashlights look pretty good, namely due to their optical system imho. I would love to get something with such optic system as a host. Moddable, of course.

It could be a funny idea to invest some “hefty” money in a pile of inexpensive flashlights from china (AliExpress, FastTech, eBay, etc). It would be really funny to see many apparently good looking models with cut to death corners (to later be used as shooting :-D targets or some other funny mischief) and of course I am sure many pretty decent flashlights would be found which could be used as hosts. O:)

Cheers :-)

I had a good chuckle over this video as I had my breakfast this morning - I did think you’re kinda crazy for having spent that much on flashlights, but your enthusiasm when reviewing them made it look like money well spent :slight_smile:

The LED Lensers looked the most interesting due to them being zoomies. That’s still such an unusual thing, but so useful. Great video, remember us all when you’re a YouTube star :wink:

Not to discount what you are doing or ruin your enthusiasm, but I’m very, VERY glad that we have this forum to find lights with up to date emitters, quality threads, springs, boards and switches, better fit and finish, more flexible/advanced UIs and most of all, offering them at a better price.

I feel fortunate that I even know about this forum and the Chinese lights that perform so well. I’m grateful for my Convoy, Astrolux, Emisar, Sofirn and BLF lights. It would be a sad day if I had to rely on big box store lights.

Do you think you’ll ever do a comparison of the lights featured here compared to their closest competitor from the big box stores? Lots of work, but just a thought. Thanks for your hard work and passion.

If you want to film at Walmart contact Media Relations. There is a form at Walmart.com to fill out and they do a pretty good job responding. I was a manager at a Walmart store for years and we had home office contact us and allow people to film for various reasons.

this was really funny!

This is actually a great idea for a series of reviews! I often see friends buying a flashlight from a known-brand or from a chain store and think “ah, they should have gotten an X instead!”, it’d be interesting to see some reviews that compare the (usually more) expensive high street lights with a “cheap chinese” equivalent.

Something like a Fenix TK7 versus an AstroLux S43 or similar.

Another great video, love your stuff :+1:

I feel really sad for people who buy anything at a big box store . the fact they spent too much makes them become entrenched into the thought that the light they just paid too much for is a great light . It's like all the Nebo's or Coast lovers,Cops with streamlights or climbers with Petzls .All wanting to defend what most people know are "If not junk" than just a really poor purchasing decision .

I'm like lots of people on the forum and enjoy almost anything that puts out light....But paying too much is just insanity .

So at $1900 for 22 lights you have 86$ in each

Wouldn't it have been easier to buy 22 Zebralights ?

What's next cutting yourself ?...Take them back !!!! While you still have the receipt.

Keep this up and we're taking away your BUDGET light membership .

Next time try... Goinggear or Illum.com

I agree, if the product and the box are still in new condition just return them. It’s far better for your wallet, the products, and the environment than the other options.

That’s not being fair to the store. If you were an individual selling a new light, would you appreciate it if someone intentionally bought it from you with the sole intent of using it for a few days and then returning it? It costs them money to process returns.

Let’s not worry about what he does with the lights. Just enjoy the content of the video. It’s none of our business what he does with what he bought :slight_smile: after all, it’s his hard earned money.

I really enjoyed the video and I like your channel. I love the gonzo approach and epic level
of enthusiasm. I too laugh when I play with ridiculous flashlights and class 4 lasers!!!
Best wishes!

Absolutely this - the enthuasiasm is so infectious :slight_smile:

Sunk Cost Fallacy is a sad thing to witness.

Thank you all so much for the support and enthusiasm! I have finally completed part two of the video here. Bass Pro Flashlights Part Two

I like that browning high noon. How is it? I always wanted an old school style pistol spotlight again and had the 4c version on my amazon wishlish for a while. Does is perform as a 1000lm beam should?

interesting video. very funny

I looked at that streamlight and even STILL another 5 years later and they keep wanting to use NiCad in their light kits. WTF is wrong with them. SMH. No purchasing a seperate lithium cell extra doesn’t make it ok either.

A fun pair of videos, thanks. Now you have me thinking about buying another light, doggone it! :wink:
