And yes, this is the halloween edition. They just had that on their site when I wanted to buy the flashlight, so I thought why not. I think it looks pretty funny. It was technically delivered on halloween as well, but I wasn’t at home at the time. That’s why I only have it since last saturday. Anyway, it’s a pretty nice flashlight, really bright for the size:
It just feels so nice to use and gives you the impression that you have something high quality in your hand.
Also thanks to y’all for making posts in this sub. Looking aroung this community let me to get this flashlight. It’s nice to have a community with people who find flashlights interesting and make good recommendations.
You can get the FC11 (clone) for about $10 (about 10€) with a battery - I have a few just as backup lights around the house.
I did buy the better batteries for ones in my 72-hr bag (I live in an area that gets sudden, severe weather emergencies).
It’s been great to have a light that can run continuously for days (lowest output is a few lumen, great for power outages)
Just 10$? That sounds almost too good to be true. Are they of the same quality?
What do you mean with better batteries? Just ones that are of higher quality than the supplied one?
A light like this does seem useful for power outages and the likes. I don’t have a backup bag or anything, but now that you’re talking about it, I probably should. Maybe not for 72h, but something smaller can’t hurt. I guess I’ll start looking for some other equipment that could be of use.
And yes, the lowest setting is really good. According to the manual, it can last for almost 21 days. And it’s definitely useable at that brightness, too.
