That's pretty cool. I rarely loose power here, and I have my computer stuff on power back ups. I take the kids for evening rides in their stroller, usually go for around 5-6 miles, and some of the areas are really dark, so a good flashlight is handy.

Oh, I see that you actually need it.

What kind of flashlight works for you, a powerful one, or one that lasts for a really long time?
Then again, there are those hand-cranking things.

So I have this one, kinda old now, about one or two years, come with this little generator of their own. But good during blackouts when you can't find batteries, or if you don't have money to buy some.

Well, with LED lights they are powerful and last for a long time. Most of my powerful lights on full power will last 1-2 hours and that's with a rechargable battery. :) Some of my LED lights will run for 70 hours on low on a pair of CR123A lithium batteries, like you'd use in a camera, etc.

I have some of the hand cranking things. I thought they were cool, but now I think they are retarded. :) The new LED lights are way smaller and blow them out of the water as far as light output.

I'd estimate those crank up LED lights put out around 10-15 lumens, these new little LED lights can put out 130-200 lumens.

But other than that the only one I have in my room is just a very normal one that gives out weak light.

Yeah, I have some around, they are handy. They are good to keep in the car too. I actually carry a small flashlight on my belt daily. Sounds nerdy, but you'd be surprised how much you use a little flashlight when you have it on you. Normally you'd be like "Fuck, I can't see, it's too dark." and you wouldn't bother trying to find a flashlight, etc. Now it's like "It's dark in there" and I instantly whip out a flashlight and light shit up. I should just be a COP so I have an excuse to carry all my gear. :)

Here's my set. That gray one charges at an outlet which saves on batteres, then a regular one and a couple small ones. Also, while it's not technically a flashlight this lantern has gotten me through a lot of storms. I also have one of those ones you shake. I didn't include it because it sucks.

Nice. :) I have one of those shakeup ones too, got it as a gift. It does kinda suck. You have to shake it a lot according to the instructions and I usually get tired of shaking the thing. It's not very bright unless you shake the living shit out of it.

Talking about tactical flashlights I have been thinking buying one of these just for the sake of awesomeness. But I don't have that money yet, but having a tactical flashlight and the gear would be amazing.

You once said that LEDs can last for years and use a lot less power than regular bulbs. Wow, I'd never have guessed that they do that now. I have a whole bunch of little LED lights which serve no real purpose, but I know some of them shine better than my old flashlights. Hell, even that little flashlight on my brother's cell phone works better than that huge yellow monster I had that ran on 4 D batteries.

Isn't that dozens of times more efficient than even most incandescent bulbs?

I have some of the hand cranking things. I thought they were cool, but now I think they are retarded. :) The new LED lights are way smaller and blow them out of the water as far as light output.

They seem like a good thing to have when there isn't any electrical power around. Seems like worst-case scenario stuff.

I'd estimate those crank up LED lights put out around 10-15 lumens, these new little LED lights can put out 130-200 lumens.

Well, you probably won't get too much power out of the crank-ups because they can't generate enough power to get up to that level of brightness. One question though: how does brightness correlate with visibility?

I mean, in practical terms, how much does it really matter which one you get?

Do you have a link to the product description? I could let you know what I think. I might be able to find you something better.

The power isn't the issue, it's the LED's it's using. The LED's in those crank up lights are way out-dated. They are probably just basic 5mm LED's. If you replaced them with the latest and greatest LED's those crank up lights would be 10-20x brighter.

The newer LEDs are getting more efficient, which means if you feed them the same power as you do the older style LED's, they will be much brighter.

Again, not technically a flashlight but these can be your best friends when the power goes out. It runs on wax. In terms of candlepower I'm gonna say, one. And the warming glow smells like watermelon.

Why is there not a fleshlight in the first reply? Disappointment.

And the only flashlight I own is one that doesn't work but has a nifty container full of drill equipment that don't even fit in the flashlight. Ch'yeah.
