You see, I have a thing for flashlights. I don’t know what it is, but I just like them. I can’t stand flashlights that suck. You know, the ones that have a super weak beam or break easily. That’s why my ears perked up when I read about the Light for Life Tactical flashlight. I so want one.
The flashlight has four leds that peak at 270 lumens. It has standard (90 lumens), peak (270 lumens), strobe, and standby modes. And this flashlight doesn’t run on batteries. It runs on ultracapacitors. And it’s recharge time is 90 seconds. Egads. And the ultracapacitors and other components are rated for 130 years of use. Well, that doesn’t suck. The bulb life is 50,000 hours and the ultracapacitors can do 500k cycles. And all this for a cost of $170. Yeah, it’s mainly for civic positions, but I really want one. What can I say, I’m a geek.
