flashlight gift suggestion

[kessler]

Well, the gift is for me. My wife wants to get me a flashlight this holiday season but wants suggestions. I just got a stinger and it's awesome. A nice pocketable one might be good (123 form factor), but I'm open to anything.

If you had none of the lights you currently have (assume you have a stinger), and someone was going to buy you a light, which one or two would you suggest they consider? It shouldn't be more that about $100.

Not more than $100 and nice and pocketable? I'd suggest a E2e. Else a Eternalight would be nice too...

How about an Inova T-Series light? T1 single 123 batt, T2 two 123 batt, T3 two 123 batt and a large reflector. All are regulated and made in the USA.

mmm, t1,t2,t3 which of these is your favorite?

 

[kessler]

e2e, that's a sweat light

I would too recommend the E series light and Pelican M6 since they are good lights with decent spec, pocketable(PM6 is a little heavy, but still do-able), and have many good potential to be modded and/or play 'SF lego' with.

On the other hand, I'd say get something that you would use on a regular basis so she would appreciate you using it...or something that you have longed for which you normally would not get for yourself.

Enjoy!

this is a very, very good point, but it won't be a problem. If it is pocketable, it will be there ... until I freakin loose it (e.g. my 5th anniversary Benchmade pocket knife /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif )!

The E2e is fantastic, not just in itself, but because of the awesome array of options available to it.

There are three 'series' of Surefires you can buy into - the Executive series (E2e), C-series, and the Millenium series. Many users on CPF favor the E-series. For some reason however, I myself like the C-series lights. Personal preference really /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif probably because my normal working dress allows me to carry C-series lights unobtrusively. I do own some of each though - roughly fifty fifty.

Check the B/S/T forums for a Fire`Fly or a Black Bird! Bright and small!!!

If you're into building stuff yourself and haven't done it before, maybe your wife can get you some parts for a couple of sammies?

 

[kessler]

what's a sammy?

 

[Mags]

its like a sandwich. You know, like the MadMax drop in. I have one and its GREAT. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif

Sorry, kessler. Here'ya go! They're also fun to build yourself if your good at soldering smallish parts.
