Want a GREAT led RECHARGEABLE Flashlight

[JBen]

For the price it might be worth rolling the dice, no complaints with it, they are super bright. But the QA surrounding the on/off and multi mode button is common. While researching the batteries on them (worth using different ones) prior to buying I started seeing more and more users mentioning other.

Some great suggestions, thanks all.

Not sure I want to spend on some of the $300+ Fenix and EagTac models, etc... but certainly there are some great looking units out there in the $80-$200 range.

I don't have much experience in the 500+ lumens category, sorry. But, if you find something that works with AA or AAA batteries, I'd highly recommend Eneloop rechargeable NiMH batteries. Google their reviews. You can order them online from Costco without a membership and get free shipping. I've had great luck with them, and if you have a bunch charged up you never have to wait for something to recharge.

No interest in rechargeable AAs anymore. I've spent a fortune on them and have never found a charger, or batteries that function as I expect them to for the $$$ charged.

Go to Aliexpress.com. I got mine for $22.

My LED Lenser uses rechargeable AAA batteries, but in 2 years of limited use I have never had to charge them, was about $50.

It outperformed my 2 cell Mag lights with LED bulbs by a long margin, I did a 'test' of the two side by side across a lake and the LED Lenser illuminated so much more that the mag light on or off made no difference when the LED Lenser was on. I now use my mag lights for a fish bonker.

lol Poor out-moded MagLites. So overpriced for their performance these days.

You didn't mention a particular model.

I ordered this one, since I had a 40% off aliexpress coupon it's costing me something like $11 CAD, shipped.

It's a chinese rip-off of a $300 flashlight, so i'm interested to see how it stacks up. Only issue seems to be that sometimes the diode is thrown in sloppily / off-center.

Was out hunting with a friend last week, got dark so I turned on my crappy Eveready headlamp which barely lit up my feet, he turned on his and for a minute there I thought he brought his dirt bike with him, boy that thing is bright!

He has the BORUIT 3000 and bought if from Aliexpress for $20 shipped, I checked ebay, same price. Another hunting buddy of his had one and my friend just HAD to order one himself. I in turn just ordered one for myself and a couple more for family and friend. I honestly think that word of mouth is the only way these things get sold. My friend says that he now knows 4 guys that own them, everyone is happy with their purchase.
