Welcome to BLF! For me, I define budget value as something which can do the same as any âbrandedâ flashlight, while being significantly cheaper. I guess Iâm just more of a value guy, rather than budget :bigsmile:
Welcome to BLF. It's definitely best value, which is different for everyone. We have some members here that collect them all from cheapos up to uber-expensive. For me it's mid-30's down, but I have lights that cost +$80. I would love to get some lights that cost more, but 10 years of paying for my kids to finish college has changed my definition of disposable income.... :((
As others have mentioned, 'budget' can be a bit subjective. We don't belittle folk for buying a $6 light, nor scoff at those spending $100 or more - the value seems to be of greater import than the price paid.
And yes, itâs a value consideration and it varies. Most of the favs around here are non-namebrand lights, and in that range, we differ, but itâs kinda like being for generic brand vs namebrand prescription drugs.
With us, itâs like we want to keep food on the table AND annoy our neighbors by sending beams through their windows! lol
From one Missourian to another since we are the Show-Me-State - Iâm going to show you 3 lights for the money that in my opinion canât be beat. Iâll list them in the order of preference for me.
That light is my personal favorite new frog gigging light. I used it Thursday nite to get a mess of frogs. Itâs got a perfect beam and is very bright and throws well with some good spill. I even dropped it in the lake for about 30 sec or so and it came up shining unscathed. I love this light.
These are without question some of the best budget flashlights on the market that in my opinion as well as others canât be topped right now for the money.
