    I need a low-output light on my duty vest

    In the event you haven't bought something already, what you need is the Quiqlite, ideally the QuickliteX as it is rechargeable. Small, discrete and gets the job done. In fact it is designed for exactly what you describe.

    Can the PROTAC HL 5-X FLASHLIGHT handle the likes of ORBTRONIC 3400 mAh Batteries ?

    Your Orbtronics will likely work. As said above, this light requires button top batteries. I ran unprotected Samsung 30Q button tops in mine. IMO, nearly the perfect flashlight, I did however send mine back because of two issues. Mine had a flickering issue if it was bumped, I suspected this to...

    First flashlight

    3rd on the Fenix E12. Simple, bright enough, popular and ultra reliable.

    It definitely exposes my profession.

    Elzetta- The industry's best kept secret.

    IMO, healthy spill that lights up close to the person holding it is invaluable for sitautional awareness. This is great for tactial purposes as it alows for peripheral vision to pick up on threats. Further if a light is mounted to a rifle, it will likely be at least 1-2 feet forward of the...

    POLICE: How many lights do you carry on-duty?

    Since this Necro thread has been brought back to life I figure I may as well comment. I am a city cop and have always carried 2 lights on my person at all times, which kind they are varied. I have always been a flashaholic but not with serious lights, Costco specials and maglite was my go to...

    New to Malkoff - M61 MD2 + M61HOT MD2

    Wow, thanks for taking the time to take all of those photos, it is very much appreciated. Truly above and beyond! I am quite surprised at just how similar the M61HOT and the Elzettas are for beam pattern and brightness. I do like the slightly more neutral tint I am seeing on the photos of the...

    Apocalypse Single AA Flashlight

    While not quite up to Malkoff build quality, I am surprised no one has yet suggested the Streamlight Protac 1L-1AA. It would tick nearly every one of the OP's boxes as far as I can tell, runs off of AA or Cr123. If the budget is $100, this will leave enough room to get something like an Olight...

    New to Malkoff - M61 MD2 + M61HOT MD2

    Thanks for all the responses folks. I am definitely looking forward to the Malkoff M61N, it has made it in to Canada and is sitting in customs waiting for review/tax assessment. The Bones seems straight forward, but IMO look wise is meh and I am a big fan of the high/low ring. IMO the Bravo is...

    New to Malkoff - M61 MD2 + M61HOT MD2

    That was one of the threads I read, I did a search through the forum and read through all the Elzetta tagged threads, even the "Elzetta - The Industry's Best Kept Secret" thread. Seems like there was a lot more chatter on this brand a few years ago and it has dropped off a lot recently, the...

    New to Malkoff - M61 MD2 + M61HOT MD2

    Bit of an update here, I am a big fan of these Malkoff lights. I have been carrying the MD2HOT on my belt as it seems to be quite good for the job. The regular MD2 has become my favourite all around light for EDC and regular use as it gets the job done well for that, BUT it doesn't quite have...

    Recommendation for inner city cop.

    Not sure if you have made your choice yet, however I was in your shoes not long ago looking for a good light as I was never impressed with the performance of my issued kit. While I have made quite a few light purchases, I feel like the best light for the job was the Malkoff M61 MD2HOT. Very...

    New to Malkoff - M61 MD2 + M61HOT MD2

    I have been sold on unprotected cells. You guys have more or less confirmed what I was reading. Protected vs unprotected cells does seem like such a divided issue among the forums for sure. Being a police officer, my flashlight is the second most used piece of gear I carry, next only to my...
