Not your typical "everyday" (unless you're with security/enforcement)

I stumbled across BLF a few days ago when looking to replace a roughly four year-old, ’first generation’ Cabela’s 3 watt/2xAA LED… just doesn’t want to put out much light anymore (like only half) regardless of batteries and, given the economy, I’m definitely on a budget (if anyone’s got a cheap fix, let me know).

Anyways, after seeing all of the various purchases members made from various sites - ebay, amazon, dealextreme, etc. - and the cheap prices, I decided to look directly on Taobao (the ’Chinese’ ebay: I’ve bought some domestically unavailable electronic parts there previously through a buyer’s agent) to see if I could beat the aforementioned deals.

Well, bad news is that using the agent to purchase many of the commonly available flashlights seems to be more expensive, so that’s out. However, I did come across this interesting, ’multipurpose’ (according to the box’s picture) flashlight: I thought some of the members might get a kick out of it.

Welcome, check the review section out tho, I believe that ones already been covered, similar to the baseball bat style one or the solarforce gladiator.

Or to see some comparisons;

Welcome to BLF! If you do order that make sure to get a good battery and charger to go with it. The battery that comes with it is not very good.

LOOKS LIKE OUR TOILET BRUSH :expressionless:

Welcome

DON…

Welcome!

but then it dawned on me that it’s most likely not very legal here in California.

G’day mate. Likewise, I doubt it would get through customs here, shame cause there are a few heads around that need aligning :wink:

Thats cooler looking than what I’ve been bidding on.

They’ve been goin for $31 dollars usually but I don’t want to risk more than $20 that it won’t make it through customs

That was what i thought too. Would not wanna be in a ruffle with someone with this flashlight… hee…

That heatsink looks like it can cause some serious damage…

or ‘multipurpose’ as they call it … :wink:

I would look at the more common lights, like C8, HD2010, WF502b etc. I think the quality of this light isn’t good enough to make use of the different purposes.

Thanks for those links: I did a search, but I guess my search terms didn’t do the trick.

Thank you… will keep in mind.

For 25 dolla
