Far out flashlight--364 meters
Everyone, I was tasked with finding an extremely bright flashlight to examine the interior of high voltage circuit breakers for dust particles. The solution was nearby at Lowes.
The new 3D cell LED Mag Lite. You have to watch carefully, and maybe visit several stores. The 364 meter light has what appears to be a yellow and black sticker on it very prominently stating 364 meters. Then there is the battery life. Only 79 hours. Only, that's incredible. 22,000 some candella. That one's a story in itself, read how that term is calculated on the Mag Lite website.
$31.97. Not a bad price. It was an immediate hit. I was told to go back and buy 6 more. Had to visit 3 stores to find that many. Then another for an associate, and another as a birthday gift for self. So far I have only found them in Black and Gunmetal. However Bass Pro Shops has it in the new universal camo pattern (digitized) for $35.00.
A word of caution. Don't look directly at the LED, it's best viewed from an angle.
