Can't beat surefire warranty and customer service.

Skullring · 25 April 2011, 11:13 AM

My latest flashlight is a Fenix HL20 headlamp. I am happy with it.

It has 3 levels of brightness and a flashing SOS mode.
4 lumens (56 hours); 48 lumens (5.5 hours); 105 lumens (1.8 hours).
It is made of aircraft aluminum and the battery case is plastic. It runs on one AA battery. Fenix also makes tactical lights that I will probably try too.

CashGap · 25 April 2011, 11:14 AM

I use the ASP CR123 light on the end of a tactical baton. Very handy.

Dr.Brian · 25 April 2011, 11:17 AM

Check out these 2 bad boys from Fenix. Awesome power, easy to use, multiple settings, and they use AAs and D cells.
800 lumens!!!
http://www.fenixlight.com/viewproduct.asp?id=141
255 lumens.
http://www.fenixlight.com/viewnproduct.asp?id=84
And the one I'm ordering...
http://www.fenixlight.com/viewnproduct.asp?id=86

These modern LEDs make the old maglights look like a candle.

sond86 · 25 April 2011, 11:24 AM

I use streamlight Strion LED HP
It's rated for nearly 400meters shine distance, up to 7.5 hours between charges, plus I got mine from a wholesaler for $84

Makes many other lights look like penlights

Surefire E1e executive.

Lion · 25 April 2011, 08:36 PM

I also have a small Fenix which has about 45 lumens...they are very nice to have and handy as well. I had a problem with the bulb assembly and the battery making contact and a mechanic friend said that seems to be a problem with LED flashlights. Tip...he used brake cleaner on a rag to clean the contacts and now it works create!!!

I've installed LED passing lamps and headlight on my Harley Ultra Classic, and the difference is astounding. Side by side, the incandescent passing lamp looks like a candle compared to the LED lamp.

2th Dr · 26 April 2011, 02:38 AM

I have Surefires. Love them, and the batteries seem to last a long time too!

The d cell is a real monster. In a pinch, I would rather have a c cell. See what fits your hand best. I have one in the car (4), and one at home (6).

Deployed (flick of the wrist) it looks like this. Much handier to carry and use than the 4D Maglite it replaced.

onryo · 26 April 2011, 04:39 AM

I live my Surefires. They have always done me well even in rain, muck, etc. You can't go wrong with them.

nauticajoe · 26 April 2011, 06:21 AM

Surefire...hands down!

I have one in the finger-activated safe next to my Sig .45. It'll blind a perp!

calvinlgoh · 26 April 2011, 06:38 AM

Sipik

I bought a sipik (cheap chinese brand) from meritline and was extremely happy with it. So much so that Ive sinced purchased another 10 to keep around the house, cars, and for some friends who were very impressed.

Focus can be adjusted from an intense spot that has quite a long throw, to a very wide "flood".

At $10/piece, I strongly suggest anyone who was a good torch to give these a shot.

AstroBoy · 26 April 2011, 07:08 AM

INOVA is what I used.

Surefire M3LT. Not cheap, but quality rarely is.

George Burdell · 27 April 2011, 02:37 AM

Surefire is the best. I've beat the heck out of mine, still runs like a top.

I'm a fan of the E1B Backup.

If you want to take a chance with a non-Surefire brand, here's one claiming 450 lumens in a handheld package. It's probably no Surefire, but I'd love to know if it works as claimed and can take abuse. Anybody want to be a test subject?
