I was just wondering if anyone had any recomendations for a good flashlight. It has to be under $75. Also, when I'm looking for a flashlight should I be that conserned about the amount of lumens that a flashlight has?

 

Also i have heard that this is a good flashlight...Any opinions?

More lumens generally means brighter.


TAA has some flashlights if you're interested in a good one under $75

Also, for $75 I would get a LED flashlight that should be around 200 lumens. They have affordable and really nice flashlights at TAA. I would also highly recommend a remote pressure switch and make sure that it can be attached to a rail system.


I think there is a flashlight package at TAA that includes all of these things for around $50? I know they have packages there, but I'm not sure on the price.


Good luck!

Most taclights use CR123A batteries, you can find rechargable ones on the internet.  We carry those batteries at the shop.

Thanks, I had to get 2 CR123A batteries for my laser, but they where pretty expensive ($15 for two) which is the only reason I'm looking for rechargeable batteries.
