I just bought it for $16 at Walmart

Flashlight: Not as bright as advertised.
Radio: Decent reception. Decent Volume.
Siren: SUCKS
Compas: Worthless.
Overall: Satisfied. I needed a protable radio that doesnt use batteries.

Got mine yesterday as a matter of fact.

Look to be very nice. I bought the 3-pack. The light is VERY bright for it's size.

Overall

They did take a while to get here though.

Best bang for the buck yet - you get a pair for under $30.00 from Sam's and they're very bright - 80 Lumen LED's. I'm very happy with mine.

I just got a Jet I Pro. Single AA puts out something in the neighborhood of 200 lumens, although obviously not for very long. Pricey but very nicely made. Also have a Fenix L1D, very bright with a longer run time. Both have a strobe and SOS function.

Just ordered a few, hopefully they don't take too long. Thanks for the heads up on the shipping though. Will relax and hope for the best

Ok and this one I think is the best. It glows when charging so in the dark you can find it.

Have you tried any of these? I have a few like this that I keep plugged in but I don't really like any of them except for 3 (same model, different colors) I like the small ones but something tells me they aren't too bright or worth a damn. I see them at autoparts stores for a few bucks but I have so many flashlights that I get pissed when I buy a cheap one and it's just crap. I really want a nice small one like the above but with some decent output.

If you end up taking my gloves I'll send you one or two of mine

Surefire E2D with old KL1 LED head.
Petzl Tactikka

Carry one set of spare batteries for each.

Thanks for the offer! The other brand works pretty well. Was impressed.
Have 1 in the vw bug, and in the wifes cage too! Even gave the third to my inlaws. Yup I am that nice!
I think I am going to have to pass on the gloves at this point, too mnay other farkles taking priority now the rain has let up!

That is huge!!!!
Or about the same size as my pelican one!

I saw a really neat LED one at REI the other day, 3 standard settings, bright, low, strobe and it also had a boost button for short higher output! Multi funtion clip, but was kinda spendy for a headlamp.

the extra clip migth be cool to glue onto the helmet for night riding when you need to stop and get crap (stuff) out of the tank bag etc?
