hold on

But anything that’s supposed to be even close to modern day is gonna have to figure out a really good explanation for why they can’t light up everything really soon

They can make the flashlights bullseye style where they are pointed. Or just unavailable. I think The walking g dead addressed it will

good flashlights are expensive and kids dont carry them

Wrong

And wrong

But maybe that’s just because of my dad

probly is

I suppose they could stick with a dollar store LED flashlight

most parents are not going to hand that beefy flashlight to their kid even if it is built like a tank

You know, the ones with the shitty tailcap pushes that have 9 individual elements

Yea prolly is. The floodlight ones that dont drain batteries quick are expensive

Beefy?

As are the batteries

Nah

Can run off of AAs

Hang on, lemme run to my car and grab the flashlight dad threw in it

The good ones run off those odd maglight batteries

Since my personal flashlight was like $40

now tbf, my bikelight is bright as hell but i did pay for it, like i said it was expensive. very compact tho and doubles as flashlight

That arnt cheap

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki you mean 18650s?

my favorite battery

I dont know their real nomenclature. Just know them as maglight

My flashlight will run off of 18650s or 3 AAAs

kek

quite a range there

Yea if it has the adaptor. But the AAAs dont last as long

And the ones my dad grabbed for cheap from China run off of cr123s or a AA

Eh, close enough

ahhhhhhhh why

Still will last me like 40 hours on low

And low is plenty bright

And if I need to see more turn it up to med or high

Makes a difference for a survival scenario like TWD

Yeah but AAA are more likely to be found in a store

AAAs in your fancy flashlight last what, 5 minutes?

i rather have a handcrank generator

Besides, most higher end flashlights have built in USB chargers

In a survival setting batteries would become a quick shortage
