    Light Recommendation Wanted

    Thanks for recommendations. I ended up going with Fenix PD32 based on LED and battery type. It is a lot like another light I dropped in the bay a couple of years ago.

    Surefire 9P way too hot and short lived

    I'd say less than 50$ I think a battery life of 2 hrs and 100 lumens would be ideal. I wonder, is there a (lumens + time) rating, and extra weight given to lumens? Something like 2(lumens) + (minutes). For example, (a) 2(100 lumens) + (120 minutes) = 320 lumen-minutes. (b) 2(80 lumens) + (240...

    Surefire 9P way too hot and short lived

    Not a complaint thread just sharing a story. Needed a flashlight a while ago after loosing my old Surefire 2-cell (think it was 80 lumens) and decided to get the 9P and upgrade the lamp to a 200 lumen model. (This must be the most common mod right?) One day the power went out and I was...

    Need flashlight w/ substantial runtime for work
