    Default WTB: 3C Scout Lights (or similar)

    I'm looking to pick up a couple of 3C sized backup lights. Looking for Scout lights or similar (light monkey, salvo). LED would be great. Twist on/off. Not looking for anything with buttons or cheap Chinese knockoffs. Not looking to spend a lot on these.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I have a couple Scout type lights, but they may only be 2 cell. I will look tonight/

    I have at least 2 Halcyon 3 battery lights that I don't use. They are at my house in Panama City Beach and I am in Ft Lauderdale so they are about 10 hours away. I might be able to get a buddy to bring them to me in a few days though. If you don't find some soon let me know.

    I've used a "cheap chinese knock off" for over 3 years now and it has yet to cause me any issues. Also it only costs ~35 dollars brand new.

    Thanks but I am looking for lights that last longer on one set of batteries. I think I have come up with somewhat of a solution. I am going to order in a set of the cheap Chinese knockoffs and put them through their paces. Been messaging with lord1234 and will give the ones they have a try. We will see how they hold up in very cold temperatures and getting pounded on.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Well that didn't take long to realize cheap Chinese knockoffs are still garbage. Tried ordering the lights and just got an email that there is a quality control issue with the batch they have and they are refunding my money.

    So I am back looking for used 3c scouts or similar.

    Thanks,
    Mike
