Hi all,
I'm a sheriff's deputy and I'm looking for a backup light for my duty light. This light will be on my duty belt most of the time unless I lose my duty light or it malfunctions. That being the case I need it to be light, every ounce helps on my lower back. I need high output and I must have it in black.
Here's what I have peaced together so far using flashlight review site and others.
Pelicn m6: 5.8 9oz, overall output 57, $39.99, 60min run time, black.
Sure fire 6p: 5.3 oz, 60 min run time, black, unsure of output, about $50.00.
Streamlight NF-2: 3.5 oz, overall output 59, $43.00, black.
So there you have it, the only question I have is how does the 6p stand up to the NF-2 and m6 in overall output and how does the batteries do in each of the above types?
The types of batteries are something I know nothing about, your overall general opinion of these lights would be appreciated.
I'm kind of leaning towards the NF-2 because of it's light weight and high output.
Oh one other thing, I heard a rumor that the rechargeable maglight charger will also charge an ultrastinger, is that true? My dept uses the regargeable maglites and the charger is hardwired into the cruiser. Any other lights that will be charged on this charger? Tigerlight maybe? (god I'd love that).
