    Self defense light for daughter traveling abroad

    I would like to add to my reasoning for the models I mention, since I didn't actually say why those particular lights are my suggestions; High is the first mode with all of them. First press of the tailcap, and you've got as many lumens as are offered. VTAC's EB style models, IIRC, only have a...

    Self defense light for daughter traveling abroad

    Surefire is one of the few light manufacturers I trust with my life. G2X Tactical, P2X Fury, EB1/EB2, Y300, the VTAC models, etc. Even the Sidekick with the modes reversed to high first would suffice (though I can't promise that new models still will do that). Pricey, but mine are all...

    Light for taking out the dog (rechargeable, floody)

    I had written off the MagLite rechargeable as I was thinking they only had the larger ones, but looking at the site, the MagTac looks like it checks a lot of boxes. Thanks!

    Light for taking out the dog (rechargeable, floody)

    So I have a 3.5 month old Border Collie puppy. Until now, I've been using my Surefire Sidekick to take him out as it's got the best beam and form factor for the job (out of the lights in my stable, that is). 300 lumens, all flood, no batteries wasted on frequent nightly use, and lightweight. I...

    SureFire EB2 Backup - Review, photos, beamshots and discussion

    Disappointing, but I'm glad I found this... You saved me a bunch of money on gambling with an EB1-T cap on an EB2-C body/head.

    Which surefire flashlight

    For the price of the Fury, I'd just get two G2X's, and stick one on the AR15 full-time. Does you no good to have a weaponlight that's not on the weapon. There are other combos I use/would entertain, but without knowing what you want from an EDC and a rifle light, splitting the P2X into two...

    special gun light

    OP, what are you using the rifle for? There's a difference between a light for hunting and a light for defense.

    EDC Defence Light? Brightest/Smallest Possible !

    Brightest isn't really all that important in my experience. A 65 lumen 6P works just as well at taking away night vision/hiding your movements as a 1000 lumen light, both being reasonably focused beams. If it were me (and it was), an older 200 lumen Surefire EB1 would do well. Small, light...

    Do you guys actually notice that it's PWM? I don't.

    Surefire X300 Ultra B Model - any issues with the cross bolt?

    I've got three now, no problems on my end. I tighten by hand, and then a quarter turn with a dime or case rim per Surefire's instructions, and I don't feel any undue pressure when tightening, and they haven't loosened with recoil either. I was iffy as well, but I've had no issues. ETA - full...

    Green tinted LED's being marketed as superior

    But they aren't wrong. HDS says the same thing in one of their FAQ's about efficiency. This page backs them up. So if I'm most sensitive to green light, and in turn perceive it as being brighter, I'll happily take that on a light where I really don't care much about color accuracy.

    Green tinted LED's being marketed as superior

    Can you actually point to Surefire advertising green as superior? I've not seen it. And in any case, the context of a "tactical" light is important. When you're looking for a bad guy, the speed to process the totality of the scene is more critical than the ultimate accuracy of the color you're...

    Flashlight For Camping

    Well, if CR123's aren't an option, then I'm going to say a Maglite M300L? I have the 3-D version, though they also make a 2-D, and it's been one of my favorite outdoor use lights. Runs $55 or so in the states. The 3D has an advertised 117 hour runtime on the eco mode (if I remember right, it...

    Why is the SureFire 6P so good?

    The twisty is the biggest selling point to me. It's one of the only ones I've used that's actually easy to do with one hand. They got the knurling and whatever machining process they use perfect, because it's slicker than glass. Surefire is reportedly announcing new stuff at the NRA meeting on...
