hey all,
I'm in the market for a new flashlight, and I'm wondering if any of you have special preferences for flashlights.

Thanks,

Maglite? They're pretty heavy duty.

When inside of a PC? 12V Porter Cable that came with my drill.

none, I do my best work in the dark

LOL

I have so many darn flashlights - the main one I use for computer work is the maglite mini. I also have the full size maglite, and even dome of those flashlight with the led on the end of a bendable piece to get in to hard to reach areas. Go with something BRIGHT for inside the computer work, as you would be amazed at how much difference it makes!

i use a 2AA mini maglite for small computer stuff. other than that, i use a 4D maglite.

Maglite LED 3-Cell D Black Aluminum Flashlight

Had it almost 2 years and works great still.

I use a 1AA LED light that I got with a Leatherman. It is bright and small.

For normal use, I like a heavy Maglight, though I did recently got a tripod flashlight from Stanley. It takes 9 AAs, but it is still great for when you need a flashlight, but can't hold it.

hmmm, good suggestions. I think I will go for the maglite 3 d cell led. should be good enough for all my needs.

Thanks again,
Tekgek

This just a flashlight in general or one for when you have your head in a PC? I forgot that I also have a Coleman Widebeam that works great when I'm messing around inside a PC.

Are those lights LED? Does anyone know the lumen rating for LED maglites?

LED flashlights from DealExtreme

I have some photos on flashlights to share with you.

I use fire just kidding. 7 LED Husky for me

I used Nebo 5557 Redline Tactical LED Flashlight,but I don't like it and did't have a good Appearance.

I still have several old school maglite's that I use for general stuff. I keep a small LED flashlight in the office for some tasks. If I need to be hands-free I have a couple of those LED lights that you can mount to your head. They look goofy, but they're bright and can be helpful when needing both hands.

ME anyone that works and is close to me. The one that I keep closes to me is this one HERE but I purchased mine from Snap on. It is also not red, it is arctic white

mini maglite led here. had it 5 years and it still works beautifully. also got a bendy led probe which is perfect to insert those small hdd led, power and reset cables

The Coleman MAX Bubba (the big one, not the regular max shorty)

Weather-resistant LED flashlight features a tough plastic body for durability. It has a Cree 7090 XP-E LED that never has to be replaced.

6-AA batteries said to last 72-hours. I'm using RayOVac rechargeables last me over 300-hours of use before the beam drops below 1/2-mile range.
167 lumens and is very cool to the touch!

This is the best $24 I had ever spent. Got tired with the 6V box flashlights and big batteries to last a long time. The Bubba has already paid for itself after the first use vs. buying more 6V batteries.

The only thing this doesn't have vs. the MAG I once had is the adjustable beam option. Other than that, if the power goes out, just place this on any flat surface, beam to the ceiling and BAM, the room is totally bright!
