Flashlight Crime:

Jogger With Vest and Flashlight Killed

This may just be bad luck, but being illuminated with a vest and flashlight is no protection from a vehicle.  It is best to avoid crosswalks at night and even during the day there is a risk that someone is inattentive.


Flashlight Killer sentenced to 40 years

The laws of physics tells us that a metal flashlight filled with batteries is a dangerous weapon.  Many people have faced that club and lost.  Using one for murder is probably not new but also not very smart since the killer in this case even turned himself in.

Used Flashlights: Never Buy them at Flea Markets or Yard Sales

I have bought many over the years for the purpose of collecting and most don't work.  I never pay more than a dollar for a collection light that doesn't work so it's no big deal.   Unless you have batteries it is likely someone is selling you a non-working light.  In  general the damage is in the switch so fixing it is often not possible.

But if you're looking to buy a light at these used venues I'd suggest just going to Wal Mart and save yourself some headache by finding out you just bought a non-working light.

Don't bother.  Go retail NEW!

Cheap LED lights often have multiple LEDs

Multi Led Light Review

This is a good point.  I bought one of the multi LED lights at a flea market for $3 and it does work for now and puts out good light but it is cheap.  I learned my lesson and stopped experimenting with the garbage lights you find in these types of environment.  They are not worth putting batteries into them.

Tool Kit Light - Gimmick

I bought this at a yard sale for two dollars.  The tools are worth it but as a light and total package I'd have to say it is cheap and as shown the clasp is broken so won't close.  Stay away from these type of packages and focus on a quality light and right now tools are so cheap that it is better to just buy multiples so you can keep one set in the car, one in the garage, and another in the basement.
