Any flashlight fanatics?

[shipwreck]

I've had couple of lights for many, many years... Then in mid 2009, I bought one $50 Inova - to try it to be a carry flashlight... Then, in the Spring of this year, I did some research for a rifle light - and I discovered Candle Power Forum.... Now I have like 22 or 23 lights....

Here is a pic from a couple of months ago:

And here are some closeups of my Eagletac and Solarforce collection

Any other flashlight nuts?

Thanks!

The one I carry everyday is the Eagletac P20C2 Mk II - It's got 300 actual out the front lumens for 1.7 hours, and 60 lumens for 13 hours on med. It has other settings (sos, strobe, moonlight, etc), but they stay hidden. You don't have to do all sorts of clicks and such to make this light work. It's easy to use, and you only get into the extra features if ya want to. Otherwise, you can just use it as a 300 and 60 lumen light just by turning the head 1 way or another.

I previously carried an Inova, and this light is smaller - so, for me, it's small enough for everyday carry. It's really amazing how much light this little light can put out. $68 too - so not that high priced...

Here is what I typically carry everyday concealed (I wear cargo pants)

I too share this this addition, and have several of those Brinkmans (#14) as they are inexpensive but sturdy and bright. I also have Mag Lites of various sizes and batteries, plus bunches of other ones to include a nice iTp SC1 Eluma I picked up at a gun show that has a max output of 190 lumens! It's small (3.5" x 1"), steel, lightweight (54g without a battery), has an adjustable beam as well as a strobe function, and is rugged as hell! I use mine all the time, and have yet to kill the original CR123 battery in it.

​

Amazon has 'em for $39.95!

Cheers! M2

I have looked at some of itp's lights - I like 2 cell 123 lights, otherwise I'd look at some of the small Fenix, 4 Sevens and other similar lights.

As for the brinkmans - for some reason, some guy was looking for older model Brinkmans. I just sold $14 and #16 yesterday. I never use them anyway.

ive got the 16. that thing eats batteries pretty quickly. whats nice is my P60L from my G2L fits in it perfectly.

Yes, #16 is a xenon bulb - It lasts about an hours - but starts dimming somewhat quickly as the battery runs down - but that was ysterday's tech.

That light is actually pretty good - a cheaper alternative to the Scorpion light.

Funny - I just discovered the Stream light flash light and was all gaga over the 140lumen power. It's fun to go out on the green belt at night and light up the other end. I liked it so much I grabbed a second one and have 2 packages of spare batteries. I might have to look in to some extra power though - 300 lumen would be useful for signalling the planes flying over Oklahoma.

ya. its def. a cheap alternative. Its a pretty rugged light. With a P60 dropin you could have a decent light for pretty cheap.

Will a drop in fit? I never tried, but I've already sent it out to the guy. Never thought of trying that....

 

[majormadmax]

Oh, I also have a SureFire 6P with a 140-lumen bulb in it mounted on the end of my Mossberg Persuader...

 

[Clockwork]

...that's a lot of damn flashlights. I have a Surefire Defender LED flashlight, that does the trick for me.

ive tried several P60 sized dropins and they all worked fine.

This is probably my most unusual.....

ORACLE 24X-9 Xenon Flashlight- BLACK

I REALLY want an Olight SR90 - a 2200 lumen LED light. It's $450, but if ya look hard enough, you can find one for $399

Have a Surefire 6PD LED for myself and the lady. Recently upgraded a Maglite D-cell (x 5) flashlight with a Malkoff drop in for some serious lumens on the cheap battery end.

With the CR123 batteries being so expensive and harder to come by, my next flashlight will use AA's, likely the Surefire E2L AA or a Novatac Classic AA

 

[vietboy1st]

i own surefire helmet light white and blue. surefire m961 and looking to purchase another helmet light for my cover and mount it on there. and i would love to try out the hand held surefire light for 3000 - 5000 lumen as strong as hell firefighter which mounted on the 50cal or mini gun on the blackhawk.. i need to do research on the light... i saw it in the catalog they sent me..

I just ended up with a couple of Fenix flashlights and found them to be quite handy.
