flashlights

[Sleeper]

I'm looking for a decent flashlight. After looking at a friends surefire g2 with 60 lumens.

I don't care if it can be gun mounted .
Id prefer an aluminum body. I figured some of the Leo's would chime in.200 bucks and under please.

If I was to just pick one I'd choose the surefire 6px pro.

Those new surefires like the 6px don't have removable heads. They are epoxied together to keep you from dropping in normal surefire drop ins.

That's good to know, but what if you choose not to mod it. Or does that eliminate any bulb replacement without sending it back to the manufacturer?

I'm still rocking my old school 2d maglight.

I not too long ago got a Fenix TK35. The thing is damn bright at 820 lumens and has 4 brightness settings and a strobe setting. Comes with a really nice holster too. http://www.fenixlight.com/viewproduct.asp?id=138

I also like my Innova X03 too. Pretty damn bright and very solid construction for a very low price. http://www.inovalight.com/x/features_x03.php

You're talking about the LED lights, right? No bulb replacement.

Check out Midway, just picked up a Surefire G3 on the cheap and I love it. Damn bright and lots of options (LED, click on button, weapon mount, etc)

How are these lights with available light. The one I have is old.school bulb Nd.it lights up.a good area.


Do the leds light up a good area or are they centered more on what you point it at. The surefire I messed with lit up the hall way awesome. I didn't take it outside.

I also know that my typing and shit sucks, but the only net I have is on my phone.

The G3 is awesome, the "focused" part is roughly 3' across at 5' away and is damn bright even in a well lit room. I have the halogen so cant comment on LEDs yet

For a hundred bucks, that a bad Son-of-a-bitch.

One of the main reasons I want this is for being in the sticks and its pitch black out here. Can't see shit if there is no moon.

Lots of critters out here that my wife is scared of.

Ive seen the tk35 on a shopping Chanel and passed it off.

I am a light junkie and buy from these 2 places on a regular basis. If your not really into lights I would recommend a 6p with a drop in aftermarket light engine.

My everyday carry light is a modded 6p. A hot rodded M6 in my bag (1300 lumens) rounds out my daily light needs.

You haven't done a damn thing with lights until city code enforcement is threatening to report you to the FAA and the FBI.

I've got the following and my Fenix lights are my favorites and by far the best flashlights I've owned. IMO you won't find a more versatile light than a Fenix light and to be honest, unless I brake one, I don't think I'll need to own another tactical flashlight.

Pentagon Light X2
Surefire G2
Streamlight ProTac2
Streamlight PolyTac
Fenix TA21
Fenix TK21 U2

Those are some pretty impressive mods for Surefires.
