    Cree is the brand Costco sells. I buy them in a 3 pack (with batteries). They're 19.99 when they're not on sale. 15.00 for three on sale. Costco was selling the 150 lumen model but is now selling the 200 lumen ones. (so I let the batteries die down a bit because 150-200 lumens is waaay too bright for just walking in or out)

    This one. Flashlight.jpg I love this thing.(500 Lumens) It is built really well. All Metal. I had it at the GTG this year and a lot of guys liked it. I own a Streamlight Pro Tac HL (600 Lumens) too.

    I do a lot of night hunting for predators and varmints.

    The one light that is indispensible is my Black Diamond headlamp.

    I have Elusive Wildlife Technologies lights for my gun and bow, never leave home without them.

    I have a sack full of other lights to choose from on a hunt: Surefires, Maglights, some no-name lights
