Also from Tampa Bay...

I’m also from Tampa Bay – I don’t know if it is the tropical weather or the darkness surrounding the recent convention in town that drove me here, but I’m happy to be among you.

After years of using disposable (< $10) 3xAAA multi-LED toys I’m ready for a “real” flashlight – with batteries 3xAA or 4xAA - I’m considering both the Cyclone C88 and the Jetbeam PA40. I have tons of AA Eneloops and I’d like to avoid adding another battery type. Ease of use / simplicity is more important to me than throw or lumens. If the C88 was a flood-to-throw model I’d already have it on order.

Advice is always welcome…. thanks.

Hi, LeapFrog. Welcome to the BLF. How about either this Spark or this Romisen RC-G2. Both are from Shiningbeam… good prices, great service. Located in the US, so fast to your door.

Welcome to the forum. Few have been able to resist the charms of lithium. Good luck.

Welcome to BLF! You’ll love being here! :slight_smile:

Welcome, LeapFrog.

I've caught many fish from the remains of the old Skyway bridge...good memories.

Welcome LeapFrog.

Welcome to the family, LeapFrog!

There are plenty of options for what you are looking for. What is your budget?

Welocme.

My wife’s parents live in Largo right next to Tampa.

Have a nice time here, LeapFrog!
