    Tactical flood?

    Thanks - I was just looking at the various options with 16650 and the 3V rechargables. Appreciate the input, sounds like I'm on the right track.

    Tactical flood?

    Ok, thanks - I may try that for a side-project. I ended up just buying a G2Z - looking for the best rechargable 123's to put in there. Any thoughts?

    Tactical flood?

    Good idea and a nice one. Is this the body you're using? https://malkoffdevices.com/collections/parts-and-miscellaneous-items/products/keeppower-21700-protected-battery - it fits the Wildcat (CR123) head? With a single 21700 you'd have 1/4 the voltage of the 4xCR123s in the MD4 tube I have now I...

    Tactical flood?

    I'm looking for a tactical flood light, a "thump in the night" flashlight. Practically speaking, the Surefire G2Z MV is the perfect light. I'd prefer it in 18650, but that's about the only downside, otherwise its exactly what I want. Are there any others that I should consider? I'd like: *...

    Long runtime on turbo mode?

    Seems like we're in a similar search. As I said before, the Streamlight HL5X seems pretty good so far and does not seem to have a stepdown that I can see (yet). 3500 lumens high, 1000 lumens low. It puts out a TON of light and has a lot of mass and doesn't heat up very quickly...if you're...

    Long runtime on turbo mode?

    Ya, I probably shouldn't have used the word "Turbo" in my first post, I just meant "high output" for a sustained period. My thought being that if a light could do, say 4000 lumens on turbo, then its "high" mode (sustained) should be 2000 or so for like 30 min. So essentially I'm looking for long...

    Long runtime on turbo mode?

    So far I've accumulated a Thrunite TN20 NW and a Streamlight HL 5X. Both are ~3000-3500 lumen lights on high power and I'll be doing some testing to see where the stepdowns occur. In a real basic test side by side, the Streamlight (powered by 2x18650) is WAY brighter than the TN20, but the...

    Long runtime on turbo mode?

    Thanks all for the ideas. Keep em coming! Yes, I suppose "turbo" is a misnomer, just trying to convey high output for long(er) duration.

    Long runtime on turbo mode?

    So far I've ordered a Streamlight HL-5X and a Thrunite TN20 NW to test with and see how they do, hoping that their midrange output settings will allow ~1500 lumens or so for a longer haul. Waiting for the Malkoff Wildcat V6 to be available and will add that in as well. I imagine that will be...

    Long runtime on turbo mode?

    Yes, I've been talking to Vinh as the SLN looks to be a good option here as well. I'm listening and learning here guys, appreciate the conversation.

    Long runtime on turbo mode?

    Some good suggestions - the Streamlight looks like a good option, as does the Malkoffs but they seem like unobtainium. Thanks guys!

    Long runtime on turbo mode?

    Maybe TK35UE can do this. Seems in "High" mode it can do ~2000 lumens for the long term (30 min) before starting to drop a little...researching this one now.

    Long runtime on turbo mode?

    Right, yet no retailers seem to have the 700FD. From what I can tell though the 700's reduce output down to ~900 lumens pretty quickly, so not sure it fits the picture I'm trying to find. BLF Q8 maybe? Those seem unavailable too.
