    Surefire G2 for Home Defense

    My comment was also that if someone was meaning you and your family harm, then by all means protect yourself, but you forgot to include that. It is your property and your choice. I would rather lose some property, than to go through the stress and money of defending myself in court or jail as...

    Surefire G2 for Home Defense

    It's amazing how quick and willing people are to shoot intruders. Sure if your life is at stake and they have a gun or their intentions are to hurt you, then by all means protect your life. If someone is there to steal your TV or your property, is your life, criminal or civil law suits really...

    Does your Surefire L2 makes a high pitched buzz when turned on "low"?

    If someone is close enough to hear the high pitched whine, chances are, they can most likely see the beam. You almost have to hold the flashlight next to your ear to hear it or be in a silent chamber. edit: I just listened to mine and I can not hear it when the flashlight is at arms length...

    *UPDATE* Delica 4 vs. Mini-Griptilian 556: a Comparison Review (pics + E4 vs. BM551)

    Nice reviews Carrot. I have a Mini Grip and I love it! I really like the Axis lock for the reasons of one handed opening and closing. I have not handled the Delica or Endura. I had the BM 705 and just sold it. I was debating on whether or not to get the 707 sequel, but I decided to get the...

    What's the deal with the Arc AAA P?

    Which Fenix puts out half as much light as the Arc? My E0 puts out the same amount as my Arc AAAP and the other Fenixs put out more than the Arc AAAP.

    Why is a A2 so popular?

    David, You keep comparing LED light to incandescent or however you spell it. I know you prefer your LED lights, as most people do, but some people prefer incandesescent to LED for the better color rendition. I am not saying the A2 is the best light ever, but it fills a niche, just as your U2...

    What's the deal with the Arc AAA P?

    A P1 doesn't have the run time and has a nice bright beam, which is great for a lot of situations, but not all. Sometimes, an Arc beam is more useful. The P1 is a little more chunky than the Arc and doesn't EDC as well with my keys in my opinion.

    If you would have searched for A2 Clone, you would have found it, but who knew :) At least you searched. A2 Clone Thread

    Why is a A2 so popular?

    As others have said, the regulated incandesant bulb and the option to just use LEDs are the main selling points. Some people don't appreciate incandesant bulbs and prefer the brighter LED lights like the L2,L4 and U2. I like both lights and appreciate the A2. The A2's LEDs, while not as...

    Fenix Hard Anodized finish durability

    I think the hard anodizing on Fenix, Arc and Surefire holds up the same, but there are some factors to keep in mind. Keys will scratch off any anodizing eventually, especially on the corners and edges. The anodizing seems to hold up better on round surfaces rather than sharp edges. The Arc...

    Bulb life of A2

    I believe we just had this thread a few weeks ago :) I remember people saying that the battery lasted through at least 40-50 battery swaps. edit: Oops, we had a thread on the life of the bulb, not the fragility

    I BELIEVE - another Surefire A2 Aviator convert

    It is funny, a lot of people think the LED is still too bright for reading a map. Different strokes for different folks. I understand both sides who want a dim LED for reading and the people who want a bright low LED for walking around the house. The L2 has a nice bright low LED.

    Fenix E0, anyone else disappointed

    As small as the E0 is, I do not have to worry about having a light. If I have my keys (which is all the time), I have my light. I realize some people don't always have their keys in their pocket. I am indoors most of the time, so I just need a little more light to see in an assembly and the...

    Why does everyone want throw?

    Silverfox, you mentioned the water before, and that is something I hadn't thought of for throw. It makes a lot of sense. Although I have not been on the water at night, I have seen movies where you really need a lot of throw and those spot lights come in handy!
