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?

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/](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](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 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.

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](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](http://www.streamlight.com/product/product.aspx?pid=133) These are great little utility lights.

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.
