I was using the pricey Duracells in my Surefire, when those died I decided to be a bargain shopper & get the Surefires from their site.
I soon noticed that the brightness wasn't as kick ass as before when lighting the inside of vehicles. I was beginning to think my light was getting sucky. Well just last night I really needed some batteries and ended up using Duracells again. Let's just say that there's a difference. Noticably brighter with Duracells.

Yes, but are the Duracells worth the almost 4X price tag?
G&R Tactical and Brightflashlights in the E/E have damn good prices as well. I try to support those who support the site as much as I can instead of going directly through Surefire. FWIW

I didn't state it was. That's his decission, for me well yes. I'm pullin crack, & paraphernalia outta cars like crazy. While on mids, I'll take what I can get. Ya pay $100+ for a light, I want it to be 'magical' for Chrisssakes....
...And well, in my profession, YES! And as so with "Policeman's". We're both cops (I'm assuming he's LE), so yes it does matter. BIG TIME! But we as LEOs have what we call "tax write-offs". The batteries, and every round, mile we drive, ANY piece of equipment used for our job IS to some extent a write-off. If fact when my car enters my city, every mile after is documented.
Botom line; nice price on the surefires, but ya get what ya pay for.
