List of Flashlight Brands adopted or used by gov agencies or large private groups?
I would like to separate the various brands on here into two groups; The ones that have a reputation good enough to be adopted by either a gov agency or large private organization.......And those that miss out.
Who wants to start the list.....Name the brand and the "group" that adopted it.

Hey great topic, there is always a lot of talk on here about lights and their use in the military etc, with that in mind can we also add brand and model. I can only add one confirmed to the list
Maglite Magcharger - Queensland Police Service (actually probably all Australian Police however can't confirm that).

Koehler Brightstar is used by the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security, I'm the one that has filled over a dozen orders at 200 pieces a go.
FBI uses GoLights on their "scene investigation" trucks (the non-driving lights that mount on the roof, sides and rear of the trucks).

Victoria Police Force (Australia)
Mag 3D
Mag charger
The Police station I work at has also bought a handfull of small crappy duracell lights that 2 x AA batteries I think. They are meant to be for members to take out when on foot patrols through pubs etc.
This thread may also be of use. All about what lights different LEO's on this forum use and who pays for them: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...d.php?t=148264
Re: List of Flashlight Brands adopted or used by gov agencies or large private groups
Hmm. Well, the lights I posted are purchased by a large law enforcement agency that does a lot of work at night in many different environments.
Our guys carry lots of their own private purchase lights, too. Saw one of our SWAT guys packing a Surefire M-4. I imagine that was private purchase.

Well, didn't think this deserved its own thread, so I'll post it here....
BrightStar 3C Responder model is used by New York City MTA Subway workers. Although the clip is usually not. A big, black, rubberized loop that's attached to the belt is used to hold the light bezel up.

Down here in Broward county,Fla utility workers are issued the cheapest pos plastic 2D lights that money could possibly buy.A few years ago we were issued ROV 2D industrials which were decent hosts for a drop-in.Nowadays even that's considered too good for us.

Re: List of Flashlight Brands adopted or used by gov agencies or large private groups
Hopefully its not as simple as that......I am sure that there are usually some specs that the light must meet.....
Re: List of Flashlight Brands adopted or used by gov agencies or large private groups
In Singapore our Police Coast Guard carries Surefires in their boats and Surefires were personal issued to our narcotics officers also. We used to have Maglites, portable search lights and even a man pack zenon light that looks like a portable flame thrower(weighs something like 15kgs with the battery pack and light gun).
