Title: Micro Flashlights With Excellent Lighting Coverage
Post by: RADIOMAN015 on September 24, 2012, 12:54:32 AM
Was in the local BX yesterday and bought Gerber Essentials Tempo Microlight for $7.45
Item #22-80107
Light Source:  LED
Output Color:  White
Overall length 3 inches
Weight 1.10 oz
Battery:  1 AAA

FL 1 Standard
Lumens:  6
Battery Life Constant Use:  14 hours
Beam Range:  13 meters

What was important to me was a small light with a common battery that could be purchased just about anywhere.

Yea, I was trying to talk on the CAP radio and post the same time and I've tried to correct it.  BTW the website for the product you mention doesn't seem to work other than the first page....

Great flashlight.  I prefer standard spare batteries.  ISRs, GPSs, my flashlights (MiniMag AA LED), Cameras, Scanners, Ham radios, FRS radios, Headlamp, etc. are all purchased in AA capability.  Just saying: it works for me.  I can't count all the times that my MiniMag has donated its "life" cells to fire up something else.  Just way too handy.
