[ Help ] How to choose a flashlight ??

I'm from Brazil. Bahia. I usually walk with my dogs. I live on a farm and need advice to buy a flashlight. I wanted a flashlight that illuminated the area well. I wanted to average range of 180 meters or more. I became interested in the models or HY 8606 HY 8455, What do you recommend?

Hello hulhio

Did some google and wow: 200w led HY8606 and 150w led HY8455

How much you want to spend on a flashlight and what batteries you plan to use? Also, how long do you want to use flashlight without charging

I think those are the "Police" brand lights they sell on eBay. Take a look at Manafont.com and dealextreme.com and see what you think of the lights you see there. For $35US or so I think you can get much better lights than the "Police" ones. (assuming the exchange rate for Real is still about 2:1)

180 metres is a long distance. try this http://kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=11285

That link doesn't work. I think it's needs the "www". This is probably what you want:

It's just under $50. Those lights are worth $10 max on ebay.

These prices above are expenvive, since U$$ 1.00 is about R$ 1.5 / 1.7. I´ve found on the same site a 8455 for R$ 69.9 and free shipping... I´ll use them for 1 hour 1/2 or less...Doesnt matter the batteries is AA, AAA or 18650 batteries...

Yes, these are "Police". My problem is that i´m from Brazil and i don´t have an international credit card... What do you recommend? Is the 2000x a good idea?

That´s a good one, but here it´s about R$ 120, since U$$ 1.00 is about R$ 1.5 / 1.7..

no paypal? maybe you should concider one. There are some goof offers (not just bargain flashlights) in ebay and other china vendors.



In flashlights, you can choose to put the light towards throw (distance) or spill (area). You can't do both at once. For 180m, you're going to need a thrower: http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/lumapower-mrv-lg104-cree-q5-5mode-led-flashlight-p-1744, but it'll only light up a few trees at that distance.



The link didn't work because there's a space at the end which browsers translate to "%20", which the webserver/app doesn't trim.

Budget $$$

What batteries ??

I've created a paypal account and i´m using it with my brazilian Visa Credit Card... Thanks... But do Ebay ships to Brazil?

I fixed the link.

Problem with ebay / dealextreme or another wholesale site is fixed with a paypal account, but the problem persists: what flashlight is good for me?

I linked a thrower above which is about as good as it's going to get if you need illumination to 200m on a budget.

Does Manafont sends to Brazil?

DX should allow sending stuff other than paypal registered addresses (dropship). Manafont allows it too

What flashlight is good for you ?

Batteries ? If your talking AA batteries , http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/jetbeam-pa40-xml-468-lumens-ipx8-led-flashlight-4xaa-p-7356

If you want 18650 , then any XM-L will do the job ... Pick one ...
