Do yourself a favor, get a Surefire and call it good. They are phenomenal torches.

After looking around at one of the Flashlight review sites I found a source for CR123A Lithium batteries for $1.00 each. http://www.batteryjunction.com/
![]() Here is a review they seem to be very comparable to the others tested. http://www.flashlightreviews.com/rev...anium_123a.htm |

These two are a bit heavy, not ones to just carry around with me. For perspective here is my watch with them. Nice sunset in the background too.

If you don't know about, or haven't tried a Fenix, you're missing a great light, particularly for the $$$. I prefer a Fenix over a Surefire any day.

None of that "clubbin" for me thank you very much. Out to dinner laughing with friends...sign me right up. No flashlights necessary. I have an early curfew.

Hi guys.
This month I got something new. Well, it's not totally new, because it can be used in your old flashlights. It's a LED upgrading drop-in module for P60 size flashlights like Surefire 6P/ C2 and so on. I got two models of them, NEOFAB D1000/ NEOFAB D1500 The point is: Each model is brighter than Malkoff M60, while the second model D1500 has a 1.5 amp current (M60/61 has 1.0amp), and a much higher efficiency than M60. (86~90% v.s. 80~85%) I think you need to have a look on it. |

I have a few high end flashlights. I have a Surefire ED2 I usually carry daily. I have a Fenix TK10, which is 220 lumens and can be cranked down to 60 lumens, plenty bright still in order to conserve battery life.
My Surefire ED2 is 80 Lumens and very bright, and rather small. My Fenix is every bit as solid as my Surefire. I beat on the Fenix a lot and it runs like new. I have a Streamlight TLR2 which I use as a weapons mounted light. You cant go wrong with a good flashlight. They are lifesavers when you need light for any reason. I have friends in Iraq who have had to enter and clear building looking for the enemy. They all use Surefire lights for the most part and their lives literally depend upon their equipment. Many of them bought them out of pocket, which is the best endorsement I could ever give or receive. Hope this helps. |
