Fleshlights are for perverts. GTFO.



ETA: JK
Depending on what you want it for.
You won't go wrong with Surefire or Streamlight. IF you like to use regular batteries vs 123 etc.
Weight etc. All comes into play.
I have had a Surefire 6Z for years and love it.

Be sure to get the one that takes the expensive, throwaway batteries that last a couple of hours.

I guess he thinks my stupid post will get you locked. If so, I will edit it. Didn't think it would violate GD rules. \

ETA: LA Police gear had some deals a while back.

They also made the g2x, 200 lumens, 2.5 hour runtime, 2 batteries, 55 dollars, I got one and it kicks ass.

This is a brick & mortar store near me.  They get a lot of merchandise from salvage / insurance deals.  They have a bunch of Surefire and Fenix lights at blowout prices.

Have had the Quark AA tactical for about a year, it's great.

I'm a big fan of 18650 batteries due to the high mAh ratings and no discharge like NiMH. A single 18650 with a Cree MC-E or SSC-P7 light offering Low, medium, and high modes would be my choice.



[ETA] This is the one I have: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13060. Mode overkill, but it starts on medium which is just about perfect, and goes to high on the next click.

Surefire E2D LED Defender.

Makes a nice backup weapon if needed.

I've always be a mag light guy and have picked up so many of them over the years when one breaks I can just use parts from another.

JetBeam, 4Sevens Quark, and Olight are good lights for the money.

only small flashlight i have is a nitecore d10.  it runs off a single AA battery, which it gobbles up quickly.  i like being able to recharge batteries for the flashlight or being able to find batteries at damn near any store.

I've got the single AA version of this light.  Awesome little pocket flashlight with many output options.

Are you not familiar with the tactical versions? They have momentary forward clickies.


I would recommend the quark or fenix lines as well as the Ra clicky if you really want to spend $150 on a great light.

How about a quark 123 tactical that will run for 15 days straight on moon light mode and several days on low. It puts out 200 lumens on a single battery on high for right around an hour.
