They're the smaller company that's being sued by Surefire.

PentagonLights makes lower-cost, but quality weapon-lights that compete well against Surefire's offerings. (But their hand-held lights can't really compete with Surefire).

 

[Illum]

let me guess, Surefire sued pentagon lights for stealing o-ring designs:thinking:

First off, this is a huge thread, I started to read through it all but couldn't. Anyone remember the espidode of CHiPs where Ponch and John searched the freighter at the dock. One of them had what seemed like a four or five cell D light, cranking out about one lumen..................

Nope.... Lock-out tailcap and something about misleading advertising.

All very recent. Google Search is acting up. Otherwise, I'd give you the link.

Just finished watching an old episode of Mission: Impossible on cable. (AmericanLife TV). An old, chrome 2D cell with a red plastic bezel and red sliding switch was used by one of Jim's associates in a couple of scenes. Greg Morris used something about the size of a large fire extinguisher to produce a very bright, concentrated light.

Weirdest episode of the old series. Called, "The Visitors." The team convinces a corrupt newspaper moguel to confess, on the air, that he and several politicians running for office are working for a criminal syndicate. They do this by convincing him that they are aliens from outer space, and that they hold the secret to eternal Life.

The ending is both surprising and heartbreaking.

Gee, never saw that one !


And i would certainly remember it, if i had. 🙂


Mission Impossible was probably my FAVORITE television program.



Was it one of the "newer" ones, with Leonard Nimoy ?



Edited to add:
This episode first aired November 27, 1971.
It was the 6th year of the series.

Certainly sounds interesting. And touching.
Thank you, Monocrom, for sharing it with us.

Nope! It was one of the classics. 🙂

I grew up watching Mission: Impossible.

Re: Las Vegas CSI

I believe they use a lot of SF M4's.

Re: Las Vegas CSI

OMG, after watching Las Vegas CSI last nite, the last thing I was thinking about was what kind of flashlights were being used. What a season's ending!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Las Vegas CSI

there is a thread on flashlights in movies/tv

but its very long and unwieldy...

http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/prrfnbr/414/sesent/00

they use those alot (dang that crimelab must be rich)

funny thing is, they use them at distances of one meter and stare at where the hotspot is...:thinking:

[AMD64Blondie]

If anyone has seen Shooter (starring Mark Wahlberg,and Michael Peña)..
I think I can ID the light that Michael Peña uses at about 55 minutes in. It's a black Surefire G2 incan.(based on the beam color,and the tail clickie switch,as well as the lines on the tailcap.)

In Supernatural Season 2 episode "No Exit" whilst searching wall cavities Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) is seen using what appears to be a Surefire M4 Devastator... sweet light! :twothumbs

Sorry for the slightly blurred/out of focus image, details you're unable to glean from the picture are...

• Tail switch
• Drab olive colour
• Odd knobby section just after the 2.5" turbo head

Episodes tend to contain Streamlight or Surefire brand lights. But never both brands in the same episode.
