BD on Mar 20, 2010 - 4:38 PM This model Brinkman flashlight (black metal body w/ red rubber grip) has been in my flashlight inventory for about 10 to 12 years. I has a coveted place in my emergency kit in my vehicle, and besides the occasional battery and bulbs changes, has never failed me in a crisis. The rubber grip is a great addition, especially in cold and/or wet conditions. With the addition of a traffic cone, it's great for directing vehicles/ or at the scene of an accident. I have a 3-cell like this one for duty use, too.

Marlin on Jan 30, 2007 - 8:44 PM I wrote you several weeks ago regarding a flashlight. You in return email asked for a model number. I'm pretty sure mine is a 3 D cell light, and looks very similar to the one pictured here. The lens grip looks the same; the manufacturer insignia is the same; the end cap appears the same. However, mine has a knurled handle which is either steel or aluminum, not rubber. The switch appears the same. I do not know if you can help ID my light further or not. I see no numbers of any kind on the light. Where should I look if numbers are to be present? At any rate, the switch is inoperative. I'm assuming it can be replaced, along with the bulb. Is this light under a lifetime warranty? If so, are the shipping costs of replacement included in the warranty? Can you advise further?
