More lights - Page 3
This
transparent red Energizer (bottom left) has got to be the biggest piece
of crap. It's ironic, the only other flashlights I own that I consider
to be really crappy, are Duracells. But who else but Eveready (or should
I say "Energizer") would make a flashlight that will kill
the batteries even when it's not in use. Today, Jan. 29, 2004, I decided
to see why the red light hasn't been flashing for quite a while - like
I really didn't know. The batteries (2 Energizer D's) which had an expiration
date of 2009, were dead. That little red LED, that blinked about 4 times
a minute, killed them. Unless you collect flashlights and you don't
really need this thing, you'd be an idiot to buy it. |
Eric gave me
the top 2 on the left. They are made by Fulton. The brown one is Bakelite.
The one in the middle is made by Delta. The red light is an Energizer
DoubleBarrel - a slightly improved version of my
other two. The top right is a Streamlight UltraStinger
- 75,000 candlepower of blinding illumination. Without being a lot bigger,
they don't get any brighter! Except for the blinking red LED, the bottom
left is just a clear plastic 2 "D" cell Energizer. Then comes
the rechargable, illuminated ice scraper. Now the bottom center is a
cool (literally) light. It's a 19 LED, 3 "C" cell Tektite
Expediion 1900. The bottom right is a multi-band radio with a built-in
light. It is powered by ni-cads which are charged by the hand-cranked
generator. It can also take double "A"s, but what's the point
then? |
