Surefire lights?
Surefire lights?
I know you guys on here like surefire lights and i'm looking at getting one or two. I would like a small one that i could keep in my pocket as work, and maybe one not as small to keep in my truck. What do you guys have/ recommend getting?
i have a surefire e2 i keep in the pocket and a C2 i keep in my truck. i have been impressed by the Pelican line of lights.. a Pelican M6 LED that is close to any 2 battery Surefire will out last it in battery life and is as bright. cost less also. http://www.pelican.com/lights_detail.php?recordID=2330
I like the E2 series of Surefires. Not too spendy and powerful for their size.
Depending on what you need it for at work though, they can be overpowering up close, and honestly the battery life isn't all that great. At work, I use a Stylus Pro like the one above. It's great at close in work, and the batteries last a good while (and are ordinary AAAs, not CR123s like the E-Series Surefires use).

I have one of the Task Force 3W they sell at Lowe's, based on a recommendation from a friend whose into flashlights. Apparently, there's a couple version of it, with different LEDs, each with their own lighting characteristics. He dug through, looked at the LED, and finally found one.
Either way, they're 30 bucks (though usually on sale for 20-25) and have a lifetime warranty. And it's bright
I also have a $20 Brinkman xenon light they used to sell at Walmart. That thing is bright as hell, but I haven't seen them in stock in a while. Also, it ate through CR123A batteries rather quickly.
