yeah a little while ago I did a video about converting my really old original
mag light with the old incandescent bulb to a 148 lumen LED light and you know it
it's okay it's a whole lot brighter than the incandescent so this was a hundred
percent improvement over the incandescent this is my old Mini Maglite
now I did a video on this but it never made it to air I actually intended that
video to go on the homestead nation and it never made it on there and I don't
have that video anymore but I converted this to LED as well with a new tail cap
that just turned on and off like that and so these are a real improvement over
the old original mag light incandescent what I didn't realize is that mag mag
light is now in the 21st century I was looking around on the internet actually
this one I got at Walmart this is the 3d third generation 624 lumen
I'm not going to aim it right at the camera LED flashlight it's an incredible
incredibly bright flashlight and just blew my mind okay this is the old
original here that I put an LED in which was a hundred percent improvement and
when I saw this the third generation I couldn't believe the improvement and I'm
really glad because these old Maglites man this has been around a long time
they're built like a tank when you buy a mag light you just about never
to get rid of it there's no reason to buy another one they last forever and if
in the event they do break there's parts available now since I bought this and I
paid 60 bucks plus tax at Walmart that's a lot of money for a fraud flashlight
and I told you kind of jokingly that I wasn't going to tell my wife I was going
to sneak it in the house because she found out I paid 60 bucks for a
flashlight she flip out but I was kidding
anyway she watches my video so there's no secrets so this this just blew my
mind at how bright this is in the meantime I come across the website
called bright guy calm I could have got this for about 10 bucks less than
Walmart these have a lifetime warranty I just I just read the instructions yeah
me I just read them lifetime warranty it is a limited warranty but they have
authorized repair centers so you know if these things ever break at least you can
get them repaired I've had one maglite I honestly can't
remember when I bought this original maglite I'm thinking it was late 80s
early 90s it's been in pretty much every truck I've had paints worn in a lot of
places I have kept it in a cup of those clamps for most of its life and when I
needed it I would just grab it out of the clamps otherwise it rolls around but
this thing has stood the test of time it's been with me on the road millions
and millions of miles as a truck driver and they're identical
you know same quality the new ones are built tough too okay so I've been on the
bread guy comm website and I found the A to D - I haven't taken out of the
package it but I like the size of this this is nice for you know I have a lot
of varmints here in my yard and I got a carry a rifle and sometimes I got to
dispatch some varmints that might get in my chicken house or hurt my dogs so this
is going to be the perfect size for that I'm going to leave this by the front
door in a little clamp setup I think you can get them on bright guy
as well but I happen to buy mine at Walmart so as soon as it gets dark
oh yeah I've just gone on a flashlight frenzy here this is the new mini mag and
it's a 272 lumens double A this is how many women's 524 lumens let me back you
up just a little bit here
524 lumens to decels now this lasts I believe about eight
hours six and a half seven hours on full power just two batteries now I have some
of those ultra fires and you know those voltar fires are fantastically bright
but the thing is the batteries don't last but maybe 20 minutes this 3d cell
will last 16 hours on bright and you wait do you see how break this thing is
when it gets dark well the backyard and I'll compare this and the 2d and the
double-a and I will just just for grins and haha I will compare it against the
old one with a replacement LED and the old mini mag with a replacement LED so
I'm going to cut in here and show you the bright guy calm website and I had no
idea you could buy all these flashlights in one place I wish I had known that
before I spent my money at Walmart it's American American owned business and oh
let me tell you about that too this is an American company said right
here manufactured in America using components from all over the country we
all know you just cannot buy a 100% made in America item anymore they don't exist
but if it's assembled in America if it's built by Americans if it's guaranteed by
Americans okay with that you just you can't even buy a car that's a 100
percent american-made you can't buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle it doesn't
have Chinese bearings in it so anyway let me cut away I'll show you the bright
guy calm website and in the next after that we'll be we'll be outside the
cold checking these flashlights out well this is the site
free shipping over 50 bucks and these are the prices on the 2d and the 3d and
they don't just have maglite man let me see here let me go where's home let's
just click on that these are all the different products here laser engraving
see I didn't see that a BC truck flashlight now that's what I'm talking
about
that is a bunch of different flashlights they're alright we're going to it's
almost dark here probably another 30 minutes we'll be outside see then hey I
found them there they are on the break day.com website on fixing over to room
these clamps your flashlight just clamps in these you put them about six seven
inches apart I have a pair by the front door that I keep the bigger flashlight
in and I'm fixing to put these clamps up by the back door so I can keep an eye on
my chickens and and look for my dogs when they won't come in when I holler so
yeah they've got everything you got to scroll through the accessories I didn't
call him I did a search but I called them clamps not brackets so I couldn't
find them through the search because I was calling them the wrong name so now
you know if you're looking for these brackets they break Icom has them and I
looked at to Walmart so far and I haven't seen these brackets and I'm glad
I found them here I'm fixing to order see outside
welcome back to BC trucks outdoor laboratory okay it's not my laboratory
it's we're standing under my woodshed it's a freezing cold out here all right
I forgot to tell you something about these new generation flashlights
they have three modes on them and these modes uh or yet there you go
you can change these modes by unscrewing the cap pressing the on button and
holding it and screwing the cap on and this light will flash one it will flash
once and if you want the the first mode I'm sorry I'm standing right in front of
the light here you let it go if it flashes twice and you want the second
mode you let it go and so on it goes up to four modes and what it has is three
choices on each mode the choice I have it on now is mode one and that is bright
with 1-click medium with a second click and what they call eco with the last
click with the last click on this 2d cell this thing will last about a
hundred and seventeen hours on the brightest setting it will last six and a
half hours this is the D cell the 2d on the I'm sorry that was the 3d this is
the 2d this is the 3d this 3d will last 16 hours on high you do not get that out
of incandescent xenon halogen this is the latest technology and and the the
the least amount of battery consumption with a most amount of light I'm just
absolutely sold on these all right I'm going to turn you around show you the
woods from where I'm standing hold on let me get you turned around and
aimed at the woods and I'm going to just hit this light here to make sure that
you are actually looking at woods okay Titan you up
still still there yeah okay I'm going to start with my old incandescent that I
converted to 140 lumen for cell for D cell you know the incandescent it would
no way it would reach that far this is a heck of an improvement over the
incandescent I was a you know prepared to accept that oh I was in the middle of
telling you how far that is from where we are to those line of trees is 253
feet okay this is the old incandescent converted to 140 lumen Tara Lux not bad
here is the 2d cell third gen 524 lumen I that just blows my frickin mind man
flashlight technology has come so far I'm afraid I'm turning into a flashlight
geek don't worry I'm in good company a selfie Shellback he I think he has to
sneak flashlights in the back door too that is just incredible this flashlight
on high setting will last six hours now let me show you the me bring it to its
spot now I'll show you the different modes there this is the brightest mode
that's medium I mean even medium is better than my 4d cell okay and here's
eco you're probably not going to see much with eco wait a minute
all right there's iko iko look I don't know if you can see it but even with eco
you can see the freakin woods man with eco on this setting this flashlight will
last 117 hours I'm sorry I'm so excited but I guess I'm old I just never
realized that flashlight technology had really progressed to this point okay
that's the small one that's the 2d cell
this is the 3d cell 624 lumens on high it will last 16 hours I mean you get a
sunburn standing in front of that there
they put on flood can you believe that man that's 250 feet away
here's my hand house I'm gonna wake them up check check check check
I'm really pumped okay let me bring it to spot and I'll show you the three
different modes that's high that's medium still got plenty of woods there
here I'm going to put it on flood still can see the woods just fine now I'm
going to put it on eco still still can see the woods just absolutely amazing to
me okay now
this is the light that I put the 40 I think it's a 40 lumen Terra Lux it's a
kit that comes with this little tail cap here and it comes with this insert and
it's yeah it's okay and I'm going to show you this compared
to the latest mini mag with a I think it's 272 lumens so I'm going to turn you
back around I'm going to point you to the henhouse because I don't believe
these will make it to the woods but we'll find out let's go to the hen house
first
alright this first one is the old one that I that I put the LED in myself not
terribly impressive it's a whole lot brighter than the original incandescent
okay and here's the new one this is the new one with 272 lumens
yeah I mean that's incredible for a little pocket-sized flashlight sound
like a Maglite salesman but I'm just so completely amazed that LED technology at
finally mag light has finally jumped on board mag light they are built like damn
tanks that's why I love them and you know I was a trucker for 33 years and I
had a flashlight a mag light flashlight bouncing around for over 20 of them
years yep I'm loving it so let's see if this let me see I got to put this on
spot and we'll a me at the woods and she'll see if this will get out to the
woods yeah that is 253 feet away with a double a 272 lumen flashlight
