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.
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.
