[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 6217443, member: 32740"] Looks nice. I might try one on if I don't have to go too far out of my way to find one I have to agree with Adam Savage from that link, though. Smaller and brighter is the magic combination I want, but I also want/need to be able to replace batteries by stepping into any convenience store. That Coleman is about the best combination I've found and I keep it handy for work - I just don't carry it ON me which I would prefer. Battery life is better than the Streamlight would have (just an hour for the Streamlight?) and replacement batteries are lots cheaper than 3w lithiums would be. Still, I may give it try so thanks for the recommendation. In my desk drawer I also have a backup which is a Techlite Lumen Master - a Costco 3-for-$20 thing which is pretty good as well. 3 AAA's and also about 150 lumens I believe. Don't care for the shape of it though which is why it's in the drawer. Certainly cheap so I don't really trust its reliability either. I've had too many $40 flashlights fall out of my hand to their doom a mere 3' to the ground but the Coleman has at least survived a while. [/QUOTE]
