Awesome. I am making my list and checking it twice. I am looking quite extensively at the lights that have been suggested and I am liking what I see.
It is nice to have a compact and powerful light for identifying people or vehicles approaching our position or that are around the area when we are not near or in our vehicles. It is also great to have a compact light when doing vehicle and building serches. It is also nice to have a good all purpose light for doing regular everyday things. Yes the mini mags are fine for alot of regular stuff but just dont have the convience of one handed operation and are not quite powerful enough.
Bumping up the price we need to spend for an adequate light is possable and looks like it is going to be a requirement. I am seeing alot of lights that look like they will indeed fit our needs.
I do think I may be getting sucked in by this Flashaholics thing. Now I want to get a couple of each and pass them around to the guys and see what they think about them or better yet just check them all out myself. Unfortunately I do not have the funds for that and my wife would probably get very upset at me for purchasing 10 different flashlights. Yes even though I am thousands of miles away she still keeps track.
Thanks again for all the suggestions and information. I am very interested in the differences in lights out there. I am also learning quite a bit about them.
