Flashlight Outlet — Attraction in Valparaiso

Heard good things about this store from a gun forum I belong to. The headlamp I have had for roughly 3 yrs from my previous employer was start to not hold it's charge for as long. The swivel that holds the light in whatever angle desired was wearing to the point it would start to flop around. Working for another railroad it was time to buy something newer.

After telling Dave what I did and what I was looking for he pointed me to the Nitecore HC60. He explained all the features and the approximate battery life of all the settings. He highly recommended it as many of the mill rats have bought in the past. He answered all my questions and never tried to upsell me on the more expensive models like a car salesman. I did inquire about the more powerful and expensive models but he kept pointing me back to the HC60.

I did also buy a spare battery in the event I couldn't get a full charge during the night. He also did a great job in helping me select a spare that would fit my needs.

All told the headlamp and spare cost just over $79. After getting home I went outside after 10pm and compared both lights and the HC is just as bright as my old one and lighter too.

I would highly recommend anyone looking for a quality ligjt to stop in and see. Don't let the name Flashlight outlet fool you they do sell quality and more expensive brands and will even take care of you if you end up with issues down the road with your purchase.

I plan on returning to buy again and bring a Surefire I've had since my first deployment in for a new bulb.

Edit 2023:Bought a Nitecore light and after 2 weeks later had issues recharging. Took it in and they took care of me. Again nothing but positive things to say about...

It's been a while since I've been here, but occasionally I think about it like a fond memory. I don't live close at all, but I got lucky driving by a couple times during work and I had to stop in. They have everything a flashlight guy like myself could ever want and much more. Their prices are very fair as well.

Also I'd like to mention that the owner is a great guy and very helpful. He's not pushy and not shy to tell you if something is good, bad, higher or lower quality. One time my wife and I stopped in there close to closing time. After we entered the store, it started to downpour outside for quite a while and after the stores closing hours. The owner let us stay inside and we chatted for a while until the rain let up and we could continue on.

Ive even told some of my friends that we should all take a field trip out there one day. Hopefully I get back there sooner than later, but nonetheless I highly recommend this place...

.The company I work for gets their products from Flashlight Outlet, as do I when buying for myself. If I ever have an issue (most of the time as a result of drooping my flashlight from a ladder or into water), they take care of me. They usally make minor ajustments or repairs for me even when items would be considered "out of warrantee" or "accodental damage" from somewhere like a cellphone retailer. They sell quality products at reasonable prices and always back their products with excellent customer service. These guys are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful I still use a flashlight daily at work and have since I bought it 5 years ago. I paid 28 dollars. I also bought a head lamp to solve the dropping and dunking problem. It is currently on year 3. I...
