    *new* Fenix HP25

    Depends on the LEO, down here on the border, they work good for checking trains (hands free for climbing), tracking, climbing 8 ft. "deer fences" (hands free again), etc. The only issue is, if the SHTF and you get in a gunfight, the headlamp makes a GREAT target so in most cases, it's not...

    My new toy..

    I just picked up a Surefire U2 Ultra two days ago for duty use. I wondered how it compared to the Fenix flashlights that I belt carry. Price wise (vs. Lumens), the surefire cannot compare in my opinion. Fit and finish definitely goes to Surefire. I carry a Streamlight Stinger LED, Fenix L2D and...

    Police officer with questions

    I'm a US Border Patrol Agent. Lighting is a matter of survival for us. When we track, it can go on for hours. Running out of light is not an option. I carry a Streamlight Stinger LED as primary and have two Fenix L2D Primium Cree lights on my belt. The L2D's are small, very light, bright as heck...

    Post your home-made lanyard photos! (Part 2)

    thought I'd jump in here. Here's a camera lanyard I did: a PFD zipper pull for when I go kayak fishing. TX state law requires a whistle on board when kayaking. The whistle is the closure here and the extra swivel is to attach clippers (to clip fishing line): Here's one I just did. I found a...

    What lights have failed on you?

    Most lights that have died on me have done so after a little abuse. The only ones that come to mind that have died for no reason where two that I just sold on here as fixers; a 2 c cell Husky LED light from Home Depot and an Electrolumens XM-3. I had high hopes for the XM-3 but it only lasted...

    Got a new light today..

    By the way, I'd like to throw out a plug for Senor David at the fenix store. Extremely fast shipping! If you read this David, thanks for the CPF discount! I'll be showing this off at work. I'll bet he gets some more BP business soon :)

    Did not know that either. I'm using lowly Energizer 1.5 alk's I'll pull the rechageables out of my flash and see if it makes a difference.

    Got a new light today..

    Thats good to know. I guess if it gets too hot, I guess I'll just shut it down. I think the 100Lm setting should be fine for tracking anyway. Thanks.

    Got a new light today..

    Yes, we do, nice little pea shooters. I'm a firearms instructor for them as well. You'd be surprised how many instructors are into the light thing too. maybe its in the genes :)

    Got a new light today..

    Got home today and got a new addition to the family. I needed a good back up light to go on my duty belt.I decided on the Fenix L2D RB100 Premium. I've been outside comparing lights for the last hour and I'm pleasantly pleased. I like the build, the brightness on high and turbo and the size is...
