Browning Submersible - pocket clip light









This was a twenty dollar light when I bought it probably close to twenty years ago.  It is waterproof and has been very useful when in the field.  It won't come on by accident since you have to turn the top to light it.  The clip is strong and will hold it firmly on a pocket.  The image size you see here is close to the real size.  It uses 2 AAA batteries.  I stick with rechargeable batteries to prevent damage to this gem.  This is a pre-LED light.  It is either incandescent or a high intensity bulb.


Here is a light that I might consider a substitute for the one above rather than going for the now $30 and $40 lights that fit most of the submersible category.  This one only uses one AAA battery thus reducing weight and with an LED making it last longer than the Browning.  I like the carabiner on it along with the safety color.  This has a blinking mode as well so it can be a marking and rescue device or even for an additional safety light if broken down on the side of the road.
