    Take your lights to work! Pics of working lights.

    hey Maine-iacs, I lived in ME for 10 years, and with the darkness of winter, good lights are essential. I'm in FLA now, and still need lights in my hurricane kit in case of power outage. keep it real, ayuh.

    My "custom" Green LED ZL H501

    i've been interested in adding a green LED of some sort to my collection (Inova X5, Surefire Aviator green, etc...) however, I am thinking I'd buy and have regrets about "why did I buy a green light?" I kinda like the green light, it looks like "Area 51-ish" , or "X Files-ish", alien looking...

    Deployment Gift Suggestions

    surefire E2 defender LED . someone mentioned AA batteries being preferable to CR123's but I think there are lots of other 123 lights being used in that theater. other good choices are Surefire E1B- useful dual beam and great size. novatac 120 is a good choice- great size, durability, and...

    My first flashlight!

    great choice. :twothumbs I love mine and I've had lots of other lights. starting with this one will save you lots of time and money if you'd started with another light and found it wasn't "just right" and tried to upgrade. the low beam is good/useful high beam is powerful with good throw...

    Power outage gave me a chance to use my LED lights.

    well, my recent power outage taught me a few lessons. my novatac 120 was very handy- tailstand low setting waterproof (we could even take a shower with light). my Maglite LED (D cell) was very useful, long run time on D cells. however, big and clunky, no tailstand. my Surefire E2 Defender...

    Light Humour - You Know You Are A Flashaholic When ...

    i was just watching an emergency room show and saw a gentleman who "accidentally fell" on a flashlight and it was lodged in his , um, backside. i'm pretty sure that's not a flashaholic, however, if you're watching this and all you can think to ask yourself "what kind of runtime?" and "I wonder...

    New runtime on the L4?

    per Surefire info, if the serial# begins with an "A" its the 100 lumen model (Lux). the "B" serial #'s are the newer 120 lumen model. I have both versions and wouldn't get rid of my older model, since I like the warm-ish tint quality. count me as a fan.!

    New runtime on the L4?

    the brightness- its like comparing apples and oranges. the E2DL has a bigger hotspot and waay better throw, the L4 alot of spill. the tint on both my e2dl and l4 are a nice white. i got the l4 with a short clip. I didn't know they came with a long clip. one tidbit- if you get an L4, make...

    What am I missing with Surefire?

    if you ask anyone on the forum, many many will tell you that if they could go back in time, they would have steered clear of lower priced chinese stuff and bought it right the first time. for me: I would have bought and E2DL, an L4, as well as a Novatac 120., instead of buying all kinds of other...
