Re: Help me identify this light seen on CSI: NY

wtf they arent using LED flashlights? lame. cool show tho

From what I remember when I took a forensic chemistry class (Crime Scene Investigation type class), they use the incans because they photograph better.

Not everyone, flashaholics included, think that LEDs are the end-all-be-all in light technology. In fact, some really dislike them for whatever reason. Incads do have some advantages.

same goes for film or video. Incans look better on film or video.

I am watching Street Kings on tv right now and saw two Pelican 3850 Big D on a shelf in the police gun locker.

Hey everyone,

It looks like it could be a SF to me, but I really can't tell. I'm a big CSI: NY fan (living in NY and all).

In the computer animated film "Flushed Away", during one of the first scenes, we see the rat "Roddy" using something very similar to a Photon Freedom Micro.

I`ve spotted some SF`s in the movie "The Mist". There was an E2D in the pharmacy scene, as well as a 6P (?) in a later scene.

Watching The Exterminators on the A&E channel.

Billy used an Energizer Hard Case Pro hand-held spotlight to search for possums that were living behind the bathroom wall of a client's home.

He used nachos and cheese as bait to trap them.

Last night on "Lost" they were using a Streamlight with the Recoil LED configuration.
That was a Streamlight? ..as the light looked more like a Pelican recoil series as some come in black and it has the flat sided round shape. I believe it may be a SabreLite 2020 Recoil LED.

regarding the CSI's using incans from a few posts ago.....

That seems realistic since a CSI wouldn't have to pay for batteries. I'd use incans a lot more if I got free batteries and bulbs !!

I just watched "Punisher: War Zone". I think that I saw the Punisher give a Surefire G3L to the daughter of a Fed Officer that he had killed by mistake. The officer was undercover with a mob gang. Check it out if you get the chance. Maybe someone else can confirm this if they have a HD tv. It is a bloody movie, but very good.

surefire g3l confirmed... noticed it in his hand when he gave it to the girl and pointed it out to the wife... my wife goes "only you babe.. only you".

the movie was very bloody gorey albeit over-the-top and unbelievable sometimes... makes thomas jane's version look pg. i wonder if he had a light on his gun?

Has anybody seen the commercials for the new show "Night" on the discovery Channel? It is on wed at 10 I think? Looks like theyll be using LOTS of flashlights and night vision etc.

Thanks for the Heads-Up !


But, perhaps you mean Animal Planet, and not Discovery Channel ?


According to my DirecTV listing, this doesn't start until next Wednesday,
April 8th.


Sounds cool. Hafta' check it out !

:thumbsup:
