I have been looking around for a decently bright flash light. I got a “1000 lumen” Ebay jobber, while its bright… Its not 1000 lumen.
I’m looking to spend around 100 for something that I can use for the wheeler and mount to a gun.
Anyone got anything good?
if you ever get to buffalo go and check out VRI tactical they are near the airport on harlem… they have a website guy knows his lights
i love my surefire
It’s the #1 sextoy for men, apparently.
beat me to it
I believe you are doing it wrong.
Also, It is the official sponsor of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast along with Alpha Brain, New Mood, and Shroomtech from OnnIt Labs…buckle up, Bitches.
seriously. Those guys are serious about flashlights and flashlight mods (yes). I have an account. Lol.
I was thinking about doing so. All my searches bring me to there.
VRI is right near the airport? I thought they where like an hour away?
Never mind, I’m an hour from everything.
Take a look at streamlight http://www.streamlight.com/ They make all sorts of tactical and high end lights. If you find something that you like I can get it for you at about 10% over factory cost (10% over cost is what I pay) which will be a significant savings. Under Water Kinetics is another company that I deal with and I can get them at the same price point http://www.uwkinetics.com/market/outdoor
I have had 2 stream light Stinger led flash lights(both lost thanks to my employees) the kits come complete with chargers and two nicad batteries. The lights are very bright and the strobe feature is always great for annoying people.
I have 3 streamlight stingers. Nice light.
The Streamlight ProTac HL looks like what I’m looking for.
I will try and get a price tomorrow… maybe I can get a sample and make it free. I took the sales rep for that company all over buffalo today, hopefully he liked the fancy lunch and will hook me up. If anyone else wants to buy a high end light like this let me know and I will try to work the price way down.
I can put you in touch with a lot of guys that do.
I would like a stream light stinger led in horrific lime green. I just need the light and one battery.
Pay a bit more and get a Surefire…“you get what you pay for”.
E2D Led is a great light. As you acknowledged…a lumen is not a lumen.
I looked up the Streamlight Protac-hl and I can get these for $65.00 Unfortunately there is also tax on that so it would be 70.69 out the door, not a significant savings over ebay. If I were to buy a bit of a qty of them I am sure I could do better.
nitro - I asked about the lime green and he said there are a lot of different stinger models. take a look on their website and see if you can steer me in the right direction http://www.streamlight.com/searchresults.aspx?query=stinger
I do have 2 or 3 of these at home I would let go for $15 each: http://www.streamlight.com/product/product.aspx?pid=133 These are great little utility lights.
I have this http://compare.ebay.com/like/350576500624?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y it’s incredibly bright, carry it on the boat as a backup in case my lights go out while night fishing(running one battery while the engines are off) and I was looking at this http://www.amazon.com/Coast-Lenser-HP8437-Focusing-Flashlight/dp/B002C8R6P0 1300 real lumens.
Screw portability, reliability, durability, and burn time. Get one of those ‘85W’ HID torches from China.

This one’s even on ‘sales’, so you know its legit.
Probably not 8,500 lumes, but it might be 5-6K OTF. That’s quite a few.
