Looking for a big bulky cheap light for the car

Good evening everybody.

I’m looking a big, cheap and bulky light that will be left in my car.

I don’t care how many lumens does it have, if it has a Q5 or superior led, It will be ok. If I’ll really need a lot of lumens, I’d go with my EDC lights (usually 300+ lumen output).

A maglite 6xD will be fine, but il will cost too much.

I found these light that fits my requirements, do you have any experience with these?

I’m a little concerned about the thickness of the alluminium, I’d prefere this kind of thickness

I’d go with the last one, even if has AA battery and it’s slimmer and lighter, to me it looks better construct.

Let me know if there are other lights that fits my requirements.

Thanks for your advices.

Budda from CPF Italy

Get a Solarforce L2P with extension tube. It will be thicker and stronger than most and have high quality. Total cost would be $35-40 with a good drop in. Not a better exists at that price.

I’m liking that 3d pallide, from the description it sounds like quite a club…… :heart_eyes:

An l2 would probably be fine. That is one of my favorite lights for the money. (l2 with a 18650 extender running a solarforce 3 mode xml drop in)

not li or li-ion. I forgot to say that.

I want a BIG and STURDY LIGHT. Solarforce L2P is a great light but it smaller than the light I want.
at least 2xC/D lenght

I’m thinking your more thinking of self defense than lumens from your choices……

I think johnnymac or _ the _ reviewed a real mace with an led built in called a defender or centurian or something but I can’t find it.

3D or 4D Mag .

I was gonna say it can't be beat .

But it can be used to beat and it will take a beating .

The best street legal club out there .

The problem is he is in Italy and maglites are insanely expensive there.

oh .

How about the Solarforce Gladiator ?

You could use it with 4xAA cells and a 6V max drop-in. That thing would take (or give) a serious beating…

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing and realized it before posting. But the twist is I was going to suggest looking at estate sales. Can’t beat a working 3D mag for $5. Might be a bit harder to find there, but hopefully there is still a good savings if one can be found that way.

PS - There’s also this one:

thank you guys. Yes, it will be mainly for defense use.
you guessed, the maglite incan 3xD costs 50€ (60:money_mouth_face:. Too much since I gen get big light for less then 24$.

If I get stop by the police and they see a big maglite I can say that’s for lighting in case of emergency.
If they see a light that will remind them the weapons used by gladiators… I think they won’t believe the emergency story.
that’s why I was looking for an “anonymous” light.

3D is my club of choice

The Small Sun ZY-C56 looks like it could put a hurtin’ on someone but still passes as a flashlight and nothing more. Aside from the emitter it actually looks like a pretty decent and easily upgraded light.

I bought one to mod it some time ago. The threads are rather bad, makes it hard to screw the tailcap on straight. Also it has a low quality switch, cheap flaky plastic reflector and a hollow pill :Sp

It is modable, and a XM-L throws great with the reflector, but it’s not the best host in the world I’m affraid :frowning:

Well, that’s disappointing to hear. In the customer images it looks really nice in the pics posted by one user. Can’t see switch quality in pics though. :stuck_out_tongue:
