flashlights

[basballny2]

hey guys im looking to buy a flashlight thats going to be bright enough to light up a car but also need it to have a beam to see distances. looking for LED around 200 lumes. anyone have any expirience with flashlights? im looking at the surefire defender right now but its on backorder.

i picked up a couple tactical lights by "coast", ...they are LED, w/ focusing optics, ...light up good, w/ momentary switch, and for good price... to me the surefires, streamlights, etc. are way overpriced..

I have a Streamlight Stinger LED.... Have had it for 3 years of EVERYDAY, EXTREME condition use... No problems at all. Extremely Bright, 3 power settings, and strobe/disorient mode....


as for the overpriced.... You get what you pay for.

my buddy has the streamlight stinger and likes it, i was looking at the surefire defender......anyone have any experience with fenix lights? they look like surefires but are a little cheaper

We sell Olights here at the store. I love them, from all the lights I see and have played with IMHO they are top quality.

I personally walk around with their T-20 which uses 270 lumens, has 3 levels of light plus the strobe. Battery life is amazing

[basballny2]

how much would one of those cost me? got some pics?

You can sometimes find really good and rugged LED flash lights in the sporting goods sections of retailers..
I have one (with the name worn off lol) that uses 3-AAA batteries and 3-LED's.. Thing is very bright and the clip on it can smush a finger lol..
There are some very nice ones out there made of anodized aluminum..
As well as some cheap ones of the same make up..

lol I have a "Mini MAG" (POS) uses a single AAA on my key chain lol..
My wife has a single LED also a single AAA on hers like the mini mag, but it is 100x brighter than the mini..

I've got a little Fenix PD30 that I've been using for the last year and couldn't be happier.

the NRA Store has some cool tac lights , not bad on price either

I recommend the Insight HX150. It's not quite as bright as the OP is looking for, but has a strobe feature that is much more disorienting to a foe than constant brighter light, and it makes a very effective to signal in an emergency.
