Flashlights in TV shows and movies (Part 4)

[Norm]

Satanta I've moved your post here where I'm sure it will elicit more responses, there is no need for a separate thread. - Norm

Perhaps.

[Satanta]

Thanks Norm and that looks like the one.

BTW, I admin a BBS so you'll never get a "Why was XYZ done to my thread/post?!?!?!?!?! ~WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!~" from me.

+1

Looks too short to be a SureFire M3LT.

+1 on the Streamlight Super tac.

I do not think the other tubular object is a Coast or a SF M3LT either, I don't think it's a flashlight at all.

I think it looks like a spotting monocular of the sports type - I can't get an exact match, but it has aspects of the Alpen 119 or the Humvee 10x20. To the OC, did they actually pic it up and turn it on, or was it just laying there as a bit of set dressing?

ASP Tungsten or ASP Triad baton light?

Nice try, similar looking but the light in question was a multi LED UV examination light of some kind.

Still can't find it but I really like the design.

Must be freely available in the UK to impoverished BBC props buyers so that narrows it down somewhat. And if that's the case it may have been knocking about a props store for years.

Maybe it's a standard UK LEO type light - forensics etc.

Since I began reading the posts in CPF, I've been seeing flashlights everywhere! lol Recently, I began watching a new show on ABC called Combat Hospital. In the latest episode called Wrong Place at the Right Time, Doctor Rebecca Gordon was checking a wounded patient's eyes. The show can be watched on ABC's website. The scene where she is holding/using the light happens at 14 minutes 45 seconds into the show. Can someone ID the light? It has an orange tailcap switch.

I also spotted another light on a show on A&E called Storage Wars. Dave Hester is one of the main guys one the show that buys storage units. He's usually seen using a light that looks similar to a Streamlight Protac style flashlight. Does anyone know what light this is? Unfortunately, I don't know what the name of the episode is, but he seems to have it in quite a few episodes.

Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know a place to buy an personal light source like the one in tomb raider legend?

Well, you know you're a flashaholic when you are flipping through the channels one evening and you find yourself compelled to stop because you suddenly spy some flashlight beams and discover several "babes with flashlights". It turned out to be the big "alien encounter scene" from the 1997 film "Spice World" starring the musical group the Spice Girls. The film was so lame I could only bear to watch for a few minutes but couldn't help but notice they all seem to go for red Maglites, apparently 6 cell Ds and 2 AAs. A little product placement maybe?

[Napalm]

Hmmm... looks like the stars of the day could use starting their own lines of flashlights.... which one would you buy, Kim Kardashian or Tiger Woods? Or maybe a bad ass 50 Cent one?

Nap.

Has anyone seen the flashlight on the cover of the video game Battlefield Bad Company 2? I think it's a SF M952 Millenium. I couldn't find any high res photos online so I snapped a new of my own.

[BIG45-70]

I just watched the second episode of the new season of Storage Wars and Dave "The Mogul" has a black 2 cell Icon light. Though it was pretty cool.

Hey nice find! I kinda blew that show off at first then one day I figured I would sit down and catch an episode and it really suprised me, good show.

[Norm]

Dave on Storage Wars is using an ICON light. Merged - Norm

[redsox985]

I'm going to have to put on Storage Wars now! Can anyone confirm the light on the Battlefield Bad Company 2 cover?

[Size15's]

Can anyone confirm the light on the Battlefield Bad Company 2 cover?

Certainly looks like an M95 with XM TailCap and a BeamFilter. I can't make out the mount to confirm M951 or M952 though.

Certainly looks like an M95 with XM TailCap and a BeamFilter. I can't make out the mount to confirm M951 or M952 though.

Neither can I, but I was looking at the ring before the tailcap and you can see how the dips in it are quite deep, whereas the M951 has only shallow cuts into that ring.

Well I've been on a Stargate Atlantis marathon with the wifey out of town and saw something that interested me. The episode for me, is on Netflix so cannot get a screenshot and no matter the terms used I got nothing on Google so it's the flashaholics turn...

In season 5 ep 7 titled "Whispers" the SG team goes to a planet to look for some alien bug half-breeds and blah, blah, blah. These things emit a 'fog' which affects the lights on their P-90's as well as their radios so in the dark, foggy night they light up these extremely bright stick similar to calumens [[sp]]. I notice two of them snap and shake but these things give off a very bright white light. The handles at the bottom are sharp enough to stab into a log to act as an area light-like a tent stake with a light tube on it and a metal/plastic cap on the other end..

[Toohotruk]

I don't know if it's been mentioned earlier in this thread (threads), but I was watching an old rerun of the Dave Chappelle show last night, and they had a bit with him and Wayne Brady that was hilarious, and at one point they get pulled over by a cop, and the light he was shining in Dave's eyes, had to be a 3D Maglite...the unfocused beam with the huge hole in the middle sealed the deal as to what light it was.

I remember that episode it was kind of creepy for a Stargate episode, I use to have that season on DVD but lent it out to a friend and I think he is having trouble finding it. I wouldn't mind seeing a freeze frame or clip of the part when they set the lights up.

50 Cent model, when turned on hits the operator in the face with a quick strobe, 9 times.

Sho' nuff. Even a screenshot but no answer. Bummer. One would think flashaholics would tear the net apart to find that 'one' light no one could identify just to be the 'one' t do it but I guess the really are no heroes any more.

Did anyone record Shark Week on Monday night on Discovery Channel? There was a brief seen where a Australian female was tagging sharks at night and I believe I seen here using a 4sevens light, it looked like a Quark 1XAA.

I'm not sure which episode is was but it was in one of the two new one's, either called "Rogue Sharks" or "Summer Of The Shark", I think it could have been the latter because they focus a lot on Australia in the Summer of The Shark episode but I'm not certain.

Couldn't sleep last night, surfing TV in the wee hours, ran across a commercial for a baseball cap hat with built-in LED lights - 5 LEDs (5mm) pointing out from the brim of the cap, with (apparently) a fairly flat click switch under the brim on one side. Forget the brand name. It was a full 1 or 2 minute commercial. I've seen those kinds of caps mentioned occasionally on CPF (with varying amounts of LEDS) but I'd never seen a TV commercial for one. One aspect was a bit funny - they modified the images so it looked like there was a powerful beam projecting from the cap (i.e. you could see the beam itself - yeah, sure).

LOL yes I seen them do that in a infomercial for a set of reading glasses with LEDS on each side of the frames. They made the beam affect look like a M6, like yeh I would want to read in the dark with that. ouch

In "Death Tunnel" they were using 6Ps! It was your typical low budget bimbo slasher flick and the only thing that was scary was the acting! It is sad that I was captivated by a pretty face and a good flashlight...

Then a couple more from the other guys

This is from the second episode of Hawaii Five-0... anyone know this light?

That's a Surefire C2 Centurion, but I'm not sure about that engraving, seems like a Custom Job.
