    Olight M20-R5

    Spending more time with mine. Like the standard ring a little more. Still want to keep it on medium so that I have eye ball melting bright in reserve. Still no accidental mode changes or activations. Been dropped a couple of times, still no chance to use the strobe, still no problems...

    I am leaving for vacation later this month, and have a new R5 Olight M30. I would be willing to ship it if you want to add it to your library...As long as the turn around is 12 days or so, I shouldn't have need for it for about that long. This is a primary duty light. pat

    Another "what police duty light thread" with a twist.

    Got the light, $95.00. Thoughts here: http://http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?p=3387304#post3387304 Still learning. Next will be a Mlkoff drop in for my 6P on my soon to be SBR'd AR15. Then a C2 w/drop in will be the order of the day.... darn it, I have enough...

    Olight M20-R5

    Just got mine... Light is not ideal for me, but not getting returned. For the price it, it is good. I am much more afraid of getting light (strobe) when I don't want it, than I am about hitting it in a hurry. I do not rely on light to protect me. If I am going to use this light to protect...

    Olight M20-R5

    Another plus in the side switch, now that I think about it, is that even though I believe that if I need more light I will have time to switch it, the side switch will be faster and easier to use one handed than the two hand turn the head type adjustment. So, while I believe that I will have...

    To LEO's, how much light do you really need?

    Guess I gotta be the dissenting voice. I think it is easier, in my environment to get too many lumens than not enough. Mostly Urban, with some street lighting in some places, and not in others like many of your jurisdictions. I have found Surefire 6Rs to be adequate at 50 Lumens (just barely)...

    Olight M20-R5

    I think I prefer the side switch. I am much more concerned with accidental switching than I am needing a quick switch. The output on medium (where I intend to keep it) is enough to handle any close, reactionary issue. If I need full power I will likely have time to switch it. If I need the...

    Another "what police duty light thread" with a twist.

    Any conversion with a dedicated upper receiver should work just fine, so both Colt and S&W should be great, as they are whole guns. Surprisingly, they are both in the same price range as well. Get what is available, and enjoy it. The Ciener Conversions (just a bolt carrier group and...

    Another "what police duty light thread" with a twist.

    Jetbeam was a close contender. Fenix was out because near as I can tell the strike bezels are non-removeable. Actually, I made a couple of phone calls and found out that the Olight Super Duper Navy Seal (sorry, I hate "special operations marketing") was due to be released this month and...

    Another "what police duty light thread" with a twist.

    Good morning. I just spent a tough two days on this forum. I am a police officer in the largest metropolitan area in my state. I have primary jurisdiction in an area that contains buildings, open fields, city streets, etc, and I do a good bit of police work. I have been on 3rd shift...

    Tactical Use of Light

    Gotta agree with Mercop here. Dark places are the best places to conduct stops. By using my dome light to write my paper, I an a stationary position, yes, but if something starts to break and I am doing my cite by my trunk, I am staring at the violator's vehicle past my own strobe lights...
