Good Flashlight Recommendations?

MAGLITE D-CELL.

A bit heavy, a great BRIGHT white light than can go from broad to tightly focused.

It is common police use, aluminum and will work as a club in a pinch.

It is always a great club- no need to wait for a pinch.

I have a now no longer produce Olight M20 Warrior. I picked it because of its controls and lumens. It will throw out to 500+ yards on high and three other settings. Uses C123 batteries that last a long time. I wanted one with a button on the back to turn on and off and has a switch on the side to cycle between lumen settings. It has a belt clip I never use. It also has glass breaking bezel on the front. They make something similar now but I am not familiar with it but around $100 plus. Fits in the palm well. It’s my go to flashlight.

Nebo just sent us one of these 5 (High, medium, low, green and red) stage, re chargable headlamps as a sample, It seems really qualityI'm hoping to adopt it

The top Olight in the Warrior line is now Warrior X3. The M20 is a good light, but time and technology move on. The X3 takes tactical lights to the next level.

I ended up getting the Fenix LD22 V2.0. Yes, the rechargeable battery comes with the package. The USB c plugs right into the battery. Cool. It has 5 brightness levels and is brighter than my Surefire ever was, but it was a very old model.

It comes with a plastic case to hold (properly) 4 AA batteries. So if you were going on a trip where you couldn't recharge it- easy backup.

Only around $60 and change. I used points on Amazon.

Good choice. Dual fuel is the way to go and Fenix makes a very good light.

The battery charges fast. Plugged it in before I went to the gym and it was charged by the time I got back.

A couple of new ones. The first was a gift from one of my shooting students and the second one I just find really interesting and am looking forward to using it.

First... The Streamlight Wedge.




I have been carrying this for a little over a week and it has proven to be an excellent little light. Streamlight is one of the best in the business and they did it right with this one.


The second one I just ordered. It should be here around the first of the week. It is the Nitecore EDC27. It is a 3000 Lumen flashlight and probably the most technologically advanced light I have ever seen. I am looking forward to testing it in the field as soon as it arrives.

New Tac Light... Nitecore SRT7i.

All I can really say about is "Amazing light". 580 meter throw... that's 634 yards. The "smart ring" stepless intensity adjuster is a great feature.

The technology has come a long, long way since my original Surefire 6P.
