Cheap flashlight that does the job
 

Hey, I searched around for flashlight threads and all I saw was 60-300$ flashlights

Although I know you get what you pay for, I don'T want to spend money for a airsoft flashlight.

I saw someone talking about cheap flashlight awhile back that where not bad at all.

SO, can someone point me a not bad flashlight with pressure switch (and gun mount if possible) for under 40$ ?

Dealextreme C2 cr123 flashlight

And it's pressure switch

Those are what I use as a weapon's light

Buy 1 or 2 sets of rechargeable cr123's and a charger and you're in business!

I have this flashlight and highly recommend it to anyone. It is permanently attached to the rail mount but comes with a pressure switch.

It does not actually have IR, the IR setting is a strobe.

It is the most concentrated beam from a flashlight less then $300 I have personally seen and is around, 150-200 lumens, not sure exactly.

This one is great and very well made, worth way more than the 17$ they ask for. I own two of them, I have been gaming one of them for over two years now and it still works perfectly. It also seems to last forever with these batteries:

I have charged them only twice in two years, the flashlight will literally last for months on a single battery. I use this flash light a LOT, especially when going camping and during field work. It lasts through rain without any problem, it has been shot, bumped, dropped, and it still works perfectly. It fits in all flash light mounts I tried and the best part is, it's almost as strong as a car light.

That seems a great deal... can you tell me what size I need to buy for the Rail mount ?

Any rail mount that can fit a 1 inch diameter flashlight.

yes I know but I only find scope rings... I can't seem to find flashlight mount

I have one for $34.95 110 lumens tail push button LED comes with the CR123's and I have been using it for about two years now and sold many to other players and trades. Never a complaint.
Cheers

I have this one on my rifle. Every connection has an O-ring so it seals out moisture, and it's fucking BRIGHT. I don't think it's a true 300 lumens, and I wouldn't recommend storing it with batteries inserted, but it still works great, and can be used as both a weapon light, and a hand light.

hey thanks a lot everyone for the spoonfeeding i'm sure it will be useful for a lot of people that just like me don't want to spend too much on a flashlight :)

i just bought this one http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ultrafi...-x-18650-92022 its really powerful for the price i bought more expensive ones that arnt as powerful its the best bang for ur buck

i have been testing out my light, so bright, its almost like shining day light, only down side is the hot spot is small but if its dark or dim light it works great doesnt do too much during the day

I'm necroing this post to see if anyone has new suggestions. I bought two flashlights like Deadpool suggested, but the damn pressure switch is cheap as hell, passed through 3 of them in a year! :( So I have 2 nice flashlights, but I can't live without a pressure switch in a game! :)

Dont buy a piece of shit. Get a piece of real kit. It will last you forever and is designed to take abuse.

i got a $2.00 LED flashlight from the dollar store 2 years ago and still works fine (changed batteries to good ones)

and personally have this mounted on side of my p90, pretty freaking bright for a tiny flashlight, has o-ring seal and button on rear. No other modes through

So you didn't really save any money over a higher quality one then, did ya?

Actually, they would be fine if I was not "needing" a remote pressure switch. I finally bought a Fenix TK15 and it's remote. If the switch of this one last for real, effectively I didn't save any money. But when you read other people's comment about the same flashlight (Romisen) I seem to be among the first to be unsatisfied about it though, it was a "safe risk" in my opinion. And also, you need to try a CQB game or a night game with a flashlight to be ready to spend a lot of money on a flashlight. I would have never bought a 100$ flashlight right away without knowing if I enjoy using one or not. At least the 2 other flashlight will still be used somewhere else, without a remote! :)

I have a TK15 as well, they're awesome! I also have a PD20 and a TK35.

Found a nice canadian website for Fenix that does a price match with anyone, even ebay sellers! Got the flashlight and remote for 100$ shipped and received within a week, seemed a decent price.

what website is this... How can you post that without a link! lol

Yup that's the Canadian distributor/wholesaler. I got my 3 and a pack of CR123's for around $220 or so, but that was a test order when I was thinking about carrying them in my store.

huh, I asked them about price matching about 2 years ago and they said no. Good to know they do it now, no more getting my lights from the US! lol

To give you an idea of their effectiveness, I sent an email a Saturday night saying I want the price match and that if they do it to send me the paypal invoice, woke up un Sunday with an invoice in my mailbox! :)

I'm actually looking into reasonably priced flashlights for field games as well and found these

I'm curious what all your opinions on tactical grip flashlights are. I'm in the middle of buying myself a RIS for my M4 and it seems like it's a good way to kill 2 birds with one stone for anyone else who's also looking for a foregrip

Barska stuff will be nicer than the airsoft stuff but they will have an issue shipping to Canada.

Maglite xl 50....or for a few more buxs, the Xl200

You can probably buy a real Surefire 6PLED for around $70 new (I did), and buy a Kings Arms Surefire 6P pressure switch for $15.

It is only rated at 65 lumen max output, but its light is much brighter then most of the ACM ones I see on the field that have a advertised lumen output of 200-300.

Costco sells CREE LED flash lights 3 in a pack (each takes 3 x AAA) for a good price. For some reason I can't find it on their website, but if you go into the STORE itself, you'll find it.
