$1 Budget Beamer Beaters

Eggzactly. :+1:

Didn’t get a chance to look today, but I looked online and web says they have them. Really exited.

Do they require 3 AAA batteries?

Regardless, $1 and have a “a very clean white High CRI beam with no yellow artifacts and a nice round center spot”, what a bargain!!!

But the batteries are worth more than the light and i would be unhappy to lose my Eneloops.
I don’t have any alkaleaks to put in it and they cost money.

In the end i have to use my good lights since i typically need good lighting. But my keychain Olight i3e does well in most (rare) situations where i don’t have an 18650 light on me.

That said i can see recommending this light to muggles, they buy their own batteries :smiley:

The 3 AAA cells are included; there is a plastic separator disk under the tail cap that must be removed for operation.

they are made in China, but i think the designer is located in Utah— i couldn’t find the website again.

That works for me! :slight_smile:

i rolled up a strip of cardboard and dropped in an 18650 laptop pull.
its apparently got a resistor as it didnt go up in smoke.
it has no heatsinking to speak of.
ran 3 cycles and still the same as an unused control.
probably the best $1 light out there.

Just picked up 4 of these. Really impressed with the tint. Also grabbed some coin cell headlamps. Impressed also.

This?

I am getting error on your link zoulas

Try it again.

Don’t know what is going on with walmart links, I tried to post one and it wouldn’t work for me.

Go to walmart search Ozark Trail OT50

Hell yea, looks like I’m due for a Wally trip

This one has ribs. Perhaps more pleasurable? :laughing: 50 lumens too. Maybe the same cat in a different sweater? Cheaper by the dozen if it’s basically the same @.78 each. Plus ya get all the colors.

PS. Can’t get the WM link to work either on the OP flash.

PSS. Ribbed flash unfortunately not available for in-store pick-up. Someone would havta take one for the team. :open_mouth:

i didn’t see any of the Ribbed version in the store, they were the Grooved ones such as seen here:
Groovy

And i see on the websticle that there is an Alum Version:
Aluminimun

Some of the reviewers even posted beaver shots to see the tint

Looks as though they had 6 really nice colors .. yellow /army green /grey /black /dark red /orange

Ozark Trail - LED Mini Flashlight w/3 AAA Batteries - 50 Lumens - YOU PICK | eBay

but have replaced the much better colors with ugly pastel /girly colors ... Lavender /aqua/pink/neon green/baby blue /neon blue.

Has anyone found any of the nicer colors ?

. Someone here said nice tint but online someone's saying bad bluish beam .

"beaver shots"?

If I had to guess, that’s a picture taken with the light flat on the table so you can better see the tint. Just a guess.

Yeah not in stores. Online only. :cry:

Yeah, but do we really need to make up new terms that are so extremely sexual on a family forum?

I mean, BLF is not an adult website.
