I just saw an episode of "Outrageous Acts Of Science", from 2014 and one of the videos they talked about, was a guy that cooked a turkey with six flashlights. They had to be modified Mags, but they didn't give any details about the lights themselves, so that's a guess judging by their appearance and the fact they cooked something with them.

Its the old version of the wicked laser torch.

In Barbershop 2 the policeman checking the rear of Nappy Kutz had what appeared to be a 6 D mag.

But tonight while watching 'Act of Valor', when dude rose out of the water after the sniper had off'd the guy on the dock (and the other guy caught him) I noticed an edc size light clamped to his rifle. I figured it probably wasn't a Coast. Then I notice everybody on the team had a flashlight clamped to their rifle.
Mechanix Impact tactical gloves and Seal Team approved lights...
I guess I'm now not only a glove-o-holic, but now a flash-o-holic.

pesky double post...

good place to add pix I guess.









Ideas of what kind anybody?

Either way this lead me to purchase the Sure Fire G2X Pro in black and a tan one for the wife.

Missed that one in San Andreas.

It's always nice seeing pics.

Who wants to just read about someone seeing a flashlight in a movie.

Love this thread.

If you are talking about the scene where Nicholas cage is chasing the alien into a field towards the end of the movie, i think that was a Streamlight super Tac, but I'm not a100% sure. I remember watching that movie and asking myself the same question.

I just watched Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials in cinema. Does anyone know what flashlights they used?

Curious as well. Looks like cheap stuff but I'd like to know either way.

What light was used in "Supernatural"?

What light was used in "Supernatural"?

Both brothers routinely used SureFire M4 models. (One of the best Incandescent lights ever made.)

I just watched the Martian and saw Matt use a huge flashlight that was sitting in a dock next to the blown off door of the HAB, does anyone have any idea what that was, it had multiple leds and i thought it was a coast but i could be wrong.

Beat me to it.

It looked like a Coast HP21 to me.

Related: His knife wasn't a Spyderco, despite having the thumbhole. I was a little disappointed when I read that on another forum.

I knew somebody would've seen the movie and said, "hmm, I'm pretty sure that's a coast". Thanks for the info. It seemed to be illuminating a large areas without any hot spot or much of a throw. Is that how those flashlights are, or can one turn the had from flood to focus like their other products?

 

[RyeBread]

I don't have one, so I can't give you the best answer. A video review seemed to show the same beam pattern as the movie, though.

So...does this mean that I'm the only history buff that was intrigued by the flashlights in Apollo 13?
