If you were given $500USD, and it had to be used for flashlights, or flashlight related accessories (new bulbs, batteries, holsters, etc...), what would you spend it on?

Most likely on one of McGizmo's latest creations.

I'm beyond the "brightness" thing. I go more for quality in the light and the beam it produces.

Something from surefire+malkoff
Something from nitecore with a piston
Something from mcgizmo

I'm not sure what specifically, but that's my general idea.

Hmm. I'm not interested in any of the multi hundred dollar blinglights.

I'd probably get a high CRI clicky Ra, another charger, some more batteries.

My light collection suits my needs fairly well at the moment, so I'd focus on backup lights (same models) to some of the ones that I already own. I hate it when a product that I already have and like is discontinued and thus it isn't replaceable any longer.

Normally, I would have said a McGizmo, but this time it would have to be a Mac's Tri-EDC and lots and lots of batteries. :twothumbs



When do I get the 500 bucks? :poke:

I'd say a Ra 170n, and a Ra High CRI. Finish off with both the 123 and 17670 battery compartments for each, and spend the rest on a quality charger, multi-meter, and rechargeable cells.

M6 - $250 (MP)
PhD - $195
3 X 17670 - $38 (LH)

total - $483

I guess I'd buy some primaries with the remaining $17.

Guess I'd use it for a Ra, and a fully decked out Ti LF2XT with a warm emitter. If there's anything left over add some RCR123's, 10440's, and chargers.
