Recommend powerfull flashlight - Page 2

Junkyard Dawwg · May 31st, 2008, 05:22 PM

I've done a little bit of research on these Borreallis lights and they seem to be the genuine article. Comparisons with the Surefire always show the Boreallis as superior lighting power. I don't know how they will hold up with time but they sure look good. Don't know if I want to spend $240.00 for a flashlight and then another $40.00 for a charger..., I'm thinking about it though...

+1 surefire
I bought a G2 and then the 120 lumen upgrade bulb...very nice, and very durable.

Take a look at the Fenix T1 and TK10. LED. 225 lumens for a hour and a half or 60 lumens for 10 hours. Not including "moon time".

Their L2D CE would make a nice flashlight that uses regular AA's.

I have the T1 and L2D CE, BTW.

That TK10 looks like a very good light, especially for the price. Looks like I'll be ordering one soon!

Might I suggest you look at this one?

E2D LED Defender® - E2DL-BK available from SureFire

Already having a SureFire E2E and E2D flashlight, their latest new light, the E2D LED was more than I could resist so I just ordered one!

Strike Bezel, 120 lumins LED and a small lightweight light. What more could you ask for? (I know, a lower price!)

Still, one awesome little SD Flashlight.

UPDATE:

I did get one of these E2D LED's and WOW! It's very bright and it's my new EDC light. It's a little longer than the standard E2D but still very compact. I like it. If it only had a strobe feature it'd be perfect!

I have two SureFires...the E2e (60 lumens/1.25 hrs), and a L4 LumaMax (100 lumens/2.5 hrs)...the latter is BRIGHT!
Either would work for you...

Stay armed...stay bright...stay safe!

For what it sounds like your asking Blackhawk Gladius does the trick. My SureFires Dim after a while making them comparable to a Mag light. Even though its an LED for what I"m using it for its very bright and for what I'm using it for provide enough light to blind somebody. You also get the stobe effect if you need to try and disorient.

I recently bought a "TASK FORCE" 3W LED light at Lowe's for work. It runs on two C cells and is rated 150 lumens. I've used it at home to spot deer behind my house. The beam is focused and the unit is quite lightweight. It comes with a belt holder, too.

For $30 it sure brightens up whatever I lay the beam on. I also bought one for my dad for Father's Day. Do not look into the beam with remaining eye.
