Comment on why does every single flashlight have multiple settings that you have to scroll through?

  oh man, they’re still offering incandescent models alongside their LEDs. none of them are really inspiring hope though, even the smaller LED lights seem to have pretty pitiful lumen output compared to what I’m seeing out there

    Pick a battle. You requested no extra buttons or flashing or modes and now it’s not bright enough?

    It works for me. Has light and no extra flashing modes. Hasn’t really failed me either. I drop shit, a lot.

  I haven’t looked into maglite since proper LEDs priced them out of the market. I’ll take another look

    This one is similar. 2 c cell batteries and no buttons.

      I do appreciate you taking the time to look though.

      that’s what I was looking at. c-cell is kind of annoying, it’s the only one that I don’t have rechargeables laying around for, 18650 would be more convenient. but, mainly, the lumen output looks awfully low for a flashlight that size
