i know ive added items from two online stores but i know the trustfire batteries are good from manafont.

$ 35 + $10.89 + $ 13.99 = $ 59.88. In R$ it is 113.77.... For me only it is too expensive. I do not need an awesone or great lanter just to walk with dogs... But thanks....

no problem didnt know how bad the conversion rate is for you sorry

the problem isn not you or anyone else. the problem, if there is one, is that here in brazil the converting brazilian R$ to US$ dollar. The flashlight you linked is a good one, but for me is expensive and the acessories are good ones… Sorry if i “screamed” on last message…

i understand thats the only torch i know that will do 180 meters range and with the acessories with give you long run times with out producing to much heat.

there is 1000,s of other torches you could use but thats one i know off as i have it and use it for long walks but since due to the high price you might want to consider torches that use AA batteries as that will save you buying 18650 batteries and a charger to suit, not sure if you can high your 180 meter range with an AA or AAA battery torch.

ok. but what flashlight model you recommend?

i dont have any AA or AAA torches i only have torches that use 18650 batteries, and most will not give long run times unless they use two or 3 18650 batteries at once, so my knowlage is not realy any good to you as i think my first recmendation is the cheapest that ive personaly used

I´ve seen some at ebay....

What you think of these?

500Lumen CREE LED 3Mode Flashlight Torch +2*18650+ CHR

1000 Lumen CREE XM-L T6 LED 18650 Flashlight Torch ST6

580LM CREE Q5-C8 LED 5-Mode Flashlight Torch Light C8

How about this for Your first light : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PCS-Adjustable-Focus-Zoom-CREE-LED-200-Lumen-Mini-Torch-/150619779450?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Camping_LightsLanternsTorches&hash=item2311a3717a

It is a good price / quality light, I´ve had many of those.

Uses Q5 Cree LED, same as POLICE HY Light.

It has zoom, it uses AA batteries. It will not throw 180m but it throws OK for 1 x AA.

Very cheap yet very good for it´s price! 13,14R$

Almost no one thinks buying a light off ebay is a good idea ..the vast majority of them are junk ....Why? because they are copies of lights and they don't care about the reputation of their company because they can start a new account tomarrow . spend some time on blf reading reviews and then talk to a few members and ask their opinion..when you open a thread that asks what about this or that it just becomes very confusing . Go thru the reviews first and find a few you think look good and then ask ,i bet you'll buy a better light that way .I also bet if you just go off an buy something off ebay ,,it will probably be junk and you'll regret having wasted the money and effort .

thanks mate but it do not send to my Brazil...

thankz... i will do that or search the flashlight i want n see its reputation / opinion on blf

I like the 2nd light. The Skyray host is pretty cool and the XM-L puts out a ton of light. The seller has a good reputation and a lot of sales. Only problem is you won't get 180m of throw. XM-L's are really, really bright, but don't necessarily throw that far.

The 3rd light will probably throw better, but won't put out as much light. A lot of people have been getting C8 lights with XM-L's (like from Kaidomain). That's probably a better compromise between output and throw (XM-L in a C8).

I've never heard of the 1st light, so I can't recommend it. Also, these lights have a lot of variations. The bodies are often clones and the quality from an unfamiliar dealer is unknown. Just because it is a Skyray body, doesn't mean it will have the same tail clicky or fit and finish that some other Skyray's have. Ditto with the C8. A lot of different companies make C8's.

google is your best teacher

Hello hulhio :slight_smile: ,

I guess if you are looking for a flashlight for night walking, 180m range would be far more enough for you.

i’ve just posted FAQ

Ask your self, what type of light THAT YOU NEED…not that one the brightest, the powerful and watsover… You have to look down deep, thinks what, specifically kind of light that going really2 suit of what you need most… pretend it like you dying for it and you’ll have to choose once or mistake. To make things easy, jot down into bullet points… then, You’ll eventual found your’s unique flavour of the flashlight identities. Good luck!! :+1: :smiley:
