Which types of vendors sell multi-mode (adjustable-brightness) flashlights? Both online and offline vendors. Both sellers of new flashlights and used ones.

I know that outdoors stores sell them, but I'm looking for other options; I want to find a vendor closer to home than the nearest outdoors store.

  • @theJollySin: Good point; thank you. I have added links to some related questions. You may also want to see the choose-a-light checklist then post your own personalized question. As for this question—"What kinds of stores sell multi-mode (adjustable-brightness) flashlights?"—if I may ask, did you upvote or downvote it? :) – unforgettableidSupportsMonica Feb 06 '13 at 19:36
  • On DIY, we would refer to this as a "shop for me question", which is OT. Not sure if the same rules apply here. – BMitch Feb 06 '13 at 23:56
  • @BMitch: Fair point. Still, my question is broader than a usual "shop for me" question. Shopping-related questions are normally closed as "too localized". They are "unlikely to help any future visitors": but my question is very broad. Or "only relevant to a small geographic area": but mine covers at least the US and Canada. Plus, unlike the vast majority of shopping questions, mine is self-answered. Did you upvote me? :) – unforgettableidSupportsMonica Feb 07 '13 at 06:02
  • Here's the original SO blog post. Trying to define how broad of a scope it needed to be before a shopping question was considered on topic was only going to result in a lot of debate and confused people asking questions, so we made is as black and white as possible. For DIY, we decided "what tool should I get for Y" and "what qualities should I look for when purchasing X" are on topic, but "where can I buy X" and "is there an X with qualities Z" are off topic. – BMitch Feb 07 '13 at 12:14
  • As BMike said, this really is a shopping question, even though it's somewhat more generalized than the average one. It could also be considered a list question, which is also discouraged across the SE network. Therefore, I'm going to close it now. If you disagree with this response, you can bring it up on [meta]. – Kevin Feb 07 '13 at 15:50
