Why do you pay 5 times as much if you buy two?

I got one of those carabiner flashlights that i have clipped on my scope. It was a freebie from one of our helicopter transport services during EMS week. about 3 years ago. still works great and if i loose it. ill just fly my next PT and get another one!!!!!!!!!

If you have the money to lose....

go nuts, it looks cool, but yeah, you could get a perfectly good one that you won't miss if it disappears for about 5 bucks. and use rechargeable batteries, it will save you a ton of cash in the long run.

Feh.

I've bought five cars that I can recall for less than sixty dollars ('68 Dart --$50, '74 Vega --$50, '76 Cordoba --$25 '90 Corsica --$50, '92 LeSabre --$50); they'll be serving Sno-Cones in Hell before I drop that much on a friggin' penlight. I'd rather take my kids to Chuck E Cheeze's a couple times.

Drug rep ones work just fine for assessments --and when you lose 'em, you just grab another.

Get a free penlight from a drug rep and spend the $60 on something you will use.

I definitely always go for the free stuff with stuff like that! haha. it's the best way to go... although it could just be the cheap italian in me speaking.

 

[tydek07]

No! I buy mine in packs of 5 for $7.89 lol

It just would not be worth it, light is light. Also, at the rate I lose my penlights, it would be unearthly unforgiving to my checkbook.

 

[MRE]

Would not buy a penlight, but I would spend $60 for a multi level LED flashlight that I can use to check pupils or light up a house number at night.

 

[HotelCo]

I wouldn't pay $60 bucks for that... $10 is pushing it.

I haven't found a light with the quality and features that I am looking for, for $10 yet. Still looking though. The light I am talking about is a Fenix P3D, I carry it everywhere and use it several times a day. I also take it camping in the winter, in temperatures that alkaline batteries don't work at, so the lithiums are a necessity. I'm afraid if I mentioned the most I have paid for a flashlight, people here would try to get me committed.

KB10EV:

Are we talking about lights to check pupils? That light could make a dead man's pupils constrict...

But If we are talking about regular lights... then i use my trusty maglite.

On high, yes it could. On low it is like a bright penlite. If I don't even need that much light, it has a nice dim corona around the bright center that works nicely.

The other nice thing is that you don't get the artifacts in the beam like in a maglite, its just smooth white from the center all the way out to the edge.

 

[HotelCo]

It has different settings? Oh that's nice. Is it a good flashlight on high? Nice and bright?

 

[MRE]

Very bright on high, 160 lumens or so compared with maybe 25-50 for a maglite. The only things I don't like are the fairly useless strobe mode and SOS mode, so I just don't use them.
