    Streamlight Protac Hl USB first look

    Wow...Streamlight has made a badass light. It's a beast. Overbuilt to say the least. LED: XML2 Power: Streamlight 74175, same cell used in the Strion. Can also take an 18650 or two 123's. Note: the 18650 is not chargeable in the light. Glass window! Programmable (Streamlight tentap). Recharged...

    Streamlight Stinger LiIon battery now available.

    Streamlight has just released a 2200MAH li-ion battery stick that fits in the Stinger series of lights. Interestingly, it uses the normal or fast charge charging cradles. I'm guessing they are using an 18650, but in a physical shell to fit the Stingers. Overall, pretty cool update. It's part...

    Leatherman LGX200 is a Fenix rebrand...

    Ran into this light as a bundle pack at Costco, with a Leatherman Blast multi-tool (good tool, BTW). Item# 831076 The LGX-200 appears to be a re-badged Fenix (or from the same factory?), as the electronic appear the same, the parts are interchangeable, etc. Cool factor, though, is that it's...

    Streamlight SuperTac has arrived

    What a weird light. Streamlight took the body of the TL series and connected it to a turbo head (that incorporates a massive heatsink). GOOD: --Streamlight quality vs. price. --FANTASTIC switch. Easy for momentary, but needs a good pushing for constant on. Probably the best clickie I've felt...

    NEW Inova T3...quick overview.

    I picked up a newest version Inova T3. GOOD: --Amazing output. At least double as compared the second generation T3 (3 cell, reflector K2). Output, for comparison, flood is equal to a Fenix T1, with a nice hotspot that transitions into a tight middle, though not as focused as a T1 or TIR based...

    LAPD's new flashlight

    Chief Bratton has decided that the LAPD needs a propretary designed light, so they turned to Pelican, designated model 7060. I haven't seen pics, yet, but it is an LED with a momentary tail cap switch AND a body on-off clickie switch and Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Looks like it's a nylon...
