magagne Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I already got an Inova X5, but I give it to my brother for his work, disaster investigator. I think to buy a surefire flash light, this one give a 100lumens, or a 15lumens output: http://surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/di.../1141/sesent/00 this brand is expensive, but quality industrial stuff....anybody has one of these ? I'm looking for one can reach 100 lumens, industrial look, with aluminum body. Maglite is out of my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POTR Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Nice torch... I've got an old 6P, a Z2, a G2Z and a new L7. All of them do their jobs admirably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have the L2...its great light. I also have a modified L1, E2D, U2 and L4 by Surefire. I also have a couple Fenix lights lying around...to include their new T1 light. Bright and cheap. I also have a nice Titanium "Nautilus" custom made by Muyshondt and a custom light called the "Gotham" by Leef. Take a look at Lighthound for info on that one. Head on over to candlepowerforums....you'll find lots of info there. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkno Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Not really sure what on earth you need the 100 lumen output for??? As for a working light Surefire ranks among the top. I use the G2, 5 of them acctually, which has a polymer body rather than an alumn one. It puts out 65 lumens and believe me if you are looking for light to work with 65 is more than enough, if you are using it for tactical reasons 65 lumens is more than enough to temporarily blind someone if you hit them in the face with it. Not only will it temporarily blind them it will also leave a residual effect of seeing black dots and halos for a few min afterwards. I also like the G2 because it is polymer so for hard use it won't get dents or scratches either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmg Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 You can't go wrong with any Surefire. I keep a G2 in each car for emergencies, inexpensive for a Surefire and durable. Their own brand of C123 batteries have 10 year shelf life too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drhydro Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Longbow seems very good too... thanks for this hint too, and the hint to keep away from candlepowerforums Oh yeah- stay away from http://candlepowerforums.com/ - it's just as dangerous as the rep forums to yer wallet! I've bought several times from dealxtreme- been very satisfied. They're a bit slow to ship, but reliable- and they'll answer questions, too. They are mentioned quite often in the candlepower forums.
