Flashlight Thread

[Ooh-Rah]

Surprised we don't have a dedicated flashlight thread. We do now.

Just picked up a new Fenix at REI. This is pretty nifty for a sub $60 light. Small enough for dress pants pocket and 300 lumen when full strength.
The magnetic chargers is pretty cool too...takes a regular AA if power source not available to recharge.

Fenix RC05 SE Rechargeable Flashlight Black

I have a couple of older model SureFires, and a couple smaller flashlights that are easier to carry in a pants pocket. I think flashlights are a somewhat underappreciated part of home defense kits and bug out bags.

oh.... so many flashlights... SF 6PX, SF E2E, Extreme Beam, Streamlight, bunches of off brand pocket sized, and a really cool self charging light.

I have a big ass Maglite in Gen 2 ACU pattern that throws a pretty good concentrated beam a fair distance. I can't put it in my pants...but I could conk somebody over the head with it.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

I can't put it in my pants

There's a joke in here somewhere....just can't make it work.

Well, if I'm going to send you a fastball down the middle, I'm glad you hit that sucker out of the park!

Sidekick Ultra-Compact Variable-Output LED Flashlight

I love mine.

Ask Maria, she will tell you. I am a nut for flashlights. And knives, and guns but I digress. Love my O-light M1X striker for my EDC. About the side of the Fenix mentioned, 1000 lumens, sears the retinas great. Comes with strobe and low, you can disable that. Strike bezel to smoke fuckers in the face if necessary. Carry in my back pocket, no worries. I have a few Surefires but, IMHO, they are over priced when Streamlight makes great lights, have a few of those also. My CCW gun, I use a Steamlight TLR1. Work I use the Surefire combat light, that one with the rubber ring in the middle.

Maybe in the fleshlight thread.

I just settled on a $50 Coast HP8R, rechargeable and 1000 lumens in high power.

We'll see how this works out.

 

[TLDR20]

I have this $1000 plus dollar flashlight on my iPhone.

 

[BlackSmokeRisinG]

Yeah, I heard they connect whole phones with internet to flashlights now but I figure I'll try this one out and if I like it I'll splurge.

 

[BlackSmokeRisinG]

Front of my house at night with the Coast. Rechargeable with a USB, claims 4.5 hour battery life, and the garage down the street is at least 100m. So far ao good.

I might tuen it on to see how long it really lasts and if the power goes down etc.

Edit: One thing though, supposed to have a 250m range with beam focused, I had it all the way out but I don't see it happening. I'll have to wait for a blackout to test that LOL.
