I've got a bunch of really badass really cheap flashlight you guys look at
nice flashlights for you guys to look at today
the best thing about them is they're all really really cheap
if y'all watch many of my videos you probably already know my philosophy on
flashlights and that's you can never have too many flashlights. But I'm also
not the kind of guy that's going to go out and spend a hundred bucks on a
flashlight
especially if it's not a weapon light or something like that. Now all of these
flashlights here are Luxpro flashlights
if you do much shopping at lowe's home improvement you've probably seen these
before I personally can't hardly walk in there without picking one up there so
cheap and they're such good quality.
I just can't help myself. They make a wide variety of different types of
flashlights and different sizes, different power levels which is a really
good thing because we all know that no one flashlight can accomplish everything
and this spread that I have in front of you today is a good example of that
now i'll go ahead and show you a few features that are pretty standard across
all these. They are metal and they all have this nice black anodized coating as
you can see this one is starting to wear off a little bit but that's because this
particular one gets a lot of use
they all have this nice rubberized coating on the grip. It has a pretty cool
diamond pattern and this lets you get a really nice grip on the flashlight
most of them also have a lanyard just another form of retention so you're not
going to drop your flashlights
most of them except for the big boy over there have a clicky button on the tail
of it and all of them can tail stand, I know that's important for a lot of guys
Now let's go ahead and get into each individual flashlight
this is the big boy right here, I actually just got this one today and I
already love it
this one usually runs around 30 bucks. This is the LP490, the packaging on
this one said that is 650 lumens have tested this outside
alongside another flashlight that
is around 650 lumens and i'm going to say that this is definitely the 650
lumen one. A couple of features that this big boy has that the
other ones don't, Its got some really aggressive knurling on the sides. The big one
also has the on/off switch up here near the head unlike the other ones and I
like I said every flashlight has a different purpose this is going to be my
truck flashlight and there are a lot of reasons for that like I said it's 650
lumens
it also has a nice large smooth reflector which means it's going to
throw a beam a really long ways that makes this a really good searchlight
so if you're riding around in your vehicle at night and your searching out
the window for something
this is going to be the perfect flashlight for that. Maybe your dog ran
away an you're looking for him. For you hunters out there
I'm a big deer hunter so, you can actually spotlight with this bad boy and
I'm not advocating poaching or anything like that i'm just talking about
scouting. All you country boys know what spotlighting is. And this big boy is
going to make a really good beat stick to if you need to use it for that
now i'm gonna go ahead and show you the modes. The modes are going to be the
same across all these flashlights
they all have a high, low, and a strobe
now when you look at the next one, this one like said does have a lot of use
on it
this is a really good general purpose flashlight this is the LP600 you can
usually get this one for about twenty four books
this one is 320 lumens and that is plenty bright enough for most anything
you're going to need a flashlight for like i said this one has an orange peel
reflector which means that instead of a really tight beam this is going to have
a lot more flood to it. And this is a pretty good-sized flashlight about the
size of your hand, feels good in your hand
it's a good flashlight. The next one is the LP290
Now this one is a good work or pocket flashlight
this one right here was like 16 bucks, you can't be that. This one has a pretty good
lumen count this is 230 lumens.
230 lumens is very bright that's going to accomplish most everything you
want it to. This one also obviously has a clip on it which is a really nice
feature on a flashlight
I would prefer a clip on almost any flashlights
except for maybe the big guy but maybe even on that, you could clip it to your belt
or something that'd be pretty cool
now this one is almost exactly the same as far as the size obviously this one
doesn't have a pocket clip and this one has a little bit lower lumen count these
two right here actually came in a kit together
I got both of these in a pack together for like twenty two dollars. This larger
one here is the LP280
I don't even know if they make this one anymore I've had this for a while but
this one is like 180 lumens
I don't know if I could call this an EDC flashlight it's just a little bit too
big for what I like to keep it in my pocket but still a good choice.
Now this guy is definitely an EDC light, look how small this thing is that it's a
really good size for EDC for fitting in your pocket the only bad thing about it
is it doesn't have the pocket clip. I do think it may be possible to take the
clip off of this guy and put it on this one
maybe we'll try that but I actually carried this as an EDC light for a while
the reason I stopped is because it doesn't have a clip-on it. I like
to have a clip, especially on my EDC lights.
This little guy is 90 lumens and for an EDC light i think somewhere between 90
and a hundred and twenty lumens is almost perfect especially if you're like
me and you have all these other flashlights as backups in your truck or
in your toolbox or at your house. For smaller tasks or just getting around
this is a good flashlight for that. Anyway guys the message for today is
don't go out there and spend thousands of dollars on a bunch of flashlights
these are all really good quality flashlights i'm going to say they're
just as good as those more expensive flashlights and it's going to save you a
lot of money
you can probably get all five of these
flashlights for whatever the price of your favorite Surefire flashlight is.
A lot of times in life we have to choose between quality or quantity
this is not one of those times, with this you get quantity and quality
Take some advice from the pilot patriot I'll see you guys next time.
