    Advice Please!!!

    All great input and I am very lucky. The Shiningbeam.com folks are working with me for a great deal on a return... I will use them for more purchases. As far as other options, I would like to take advantage of the 50 bucks worth of AW 14500s and the charger that I got. What other great...

    Re: Advice Please!!! (Follow Up on ITP C7) Apparently, I am a moron and two 14500's paired up to the C7 head (using the C8 body) will smoke the head in about 10 minutes (at least that is how long it took me).

    Advice Please!!!

    I really appreciate all the assistance. I like the Maratac 9290, but the Surefire Strions seem to be a fleet favorite.... The ITP light is nice looking as well... Decisions, decisions, decisions... Thanks, and keep the recommendations coming. I will post my decision by the end of the week...

    Advice Please!!!

    I am in the US Navy, and I work in the marine engineering area. Specifically, in propulsion plants on US Navy ships. I need a rugged and bright beam light for use in this environment. I have owned mag lights with LED kits installed, a Pelican M9 7050. I really liked the Pelican light for its...
