Compact, very bright thrower
Have you looked at the Olight Warrior X Turbo? It's quite compact and will light it up almost a kilometer away. It will step down to 150lm, perfect for walking.- hanst

Looking for modern Nitecore EA11 replacement
I actually have the SRT3's bigger sister the SRT5 in my travel bag, great light! The SRT5 is unfortunately discontinued, and I had something a bit more current in mind. And.. as a well known consequence of visiting CPF, in a bout of flashoholia, having been way too reasonable for a few years, I...- hanst

Looking for modern Nitecore EA11 replacement
The XT1C looks very much like what I am looking for indeed. I ended up ordering one, as well as a Fenix E28R since I couldn't decide between both. Thanks for your recommendation! :twothumbs- hanst

Looking for modern Nitecore EA11 replacement
My trusty old EA11, pocket companion of many years, gave up the ghost. It had in turn replaced a SF E1B Backup. So, I'm looking for something with a similar form factor i.e. not much longer than 90mm, rechargeable, and with a similarly powerful turbo mode. A red light like on the EA11 would be...- hanst

Strobe Light
What do you want to do with it? I have both the TK75 and the Klarus XT11 XM-L2. As kj2 mentions the strobe on the XT11 is very useable and initial tests show it to be quite effective at disorienting an opponent. The TK75's strobe mode is accessed via several switch clicks, so not too well...- hanst

Maglite 6C/D , / 7C/D , how many people still love these lights????
I still keep my Mag 5C in the car wedged next to the seat. The real flashlight is now a TK35, but the Mag has a great tactical form factor. I actually did take a 40h class years ago on tactical use of those lights, and I haven't found anything in the modern offerings that comes close for...- hanst

Police Study of tactical use of Strobe
Great thread... FWIW I was working in a closed psych ward with violent/dangerous patients in the late 80's and early 90's. Usually during the night shift we would be only 2 techs for 15 patients, and it sometimes got pretty rough. I started using a Surefire 6P as a tactical tool, sometimes...- hanst
