Title: Flashlight for motocamping
Post by: frankenduck on January 12, 2012, 01:09:17 PM
I like the AA LED Maglite with a velcro adjustable Nite-Ize headband:

Use it as a headlamp for setting up camp:

You can take the lens off and flip it over to work as a table lamp:

For more subtle light I just put a paper bag over it:

Also hang it from the top of my tent with the lens off to light up my tent:

Very nice.

I have a few lights. I have a bunch of the el-cheapo led flashlights, usually have a couple in every vehicle I own. Redundancy is good, especially with made in  china stuff. Why change the battery when you can change the light?

When camping, I usually bring a good petzl headlamp, and a good LED light that has a focus lens. I do a lot of backpacking, so I have a pretty good setup there.

Fenix E21 is a great light for the money.That is what I just picked up.
Maratac makes a nice light if you can find one.
They make a single cell that is made out of stainless steel.
I have never heard anything bad about it except that they are hard to find here in the US.

I think they are from Canada eh.
