I saw that too, had to rewind the DVR a couple times...Not 100% sure, but it definitely looked like it. The old guy was holding something that looks like a Stringer and I have no idea what the plastic surgeon had.

Yeah I went back and looked at it. It had the same shape and had the cooling fins. So I am pretty positive it was a 7060. I will put up some pictures later.

Right some pics....
Oh! ..... Definitely G&P R500 Scorpion. Not an Ultrafire WF-500.
Look at the head, then the grooved section above it.... and now the section above the grooves. See the dot? WF-500 doesn't have a section with dots near the head. Scorpion does!
Positive I.D.

Yep, good work Monocrom. I was unsure at first due to there being two styles of body. One has a short recessed part with the name in it. The other style has a longer recessed part where the name goes.
I found a few posts on here about it too. Looks cool.
Thanks for the info to elgarak

Re: Crime Scene Investigation
Has already answered a few times; but here we go again, just because the search function is less than ideal 😉:
CSI (LV): Surefire M4, M6, Streamlight Scorpion, Inova X5 (2 or 3 times, once at least a UV version). SL Stingers at the beginning.
CSI: Miami: SL Scorpion, Surefire L4. M4 and M6 occasionally.
CSI: NY: SL Scorpion, but lately Surefire A2 (red LEDs) a LOT. There was one scene on a melting crime scene, where they pulled out half a dozen of them.
Just the most used lights; they use others occasionally.
Most UV lights they use are mostly specialized lab lamps.
They getting more and more Surefire only, it seems.

The movie Cast Away happened to be on TNT tonight and I ended up watching it. One of the flight crew who was killed in the plane crashed washed up on the beach with what looked like a Streamlight Stinger in a holster on his belt. Tom Hank's character retrieved it and used it until he fell to sleep with the light on and killed the batteries. To bad he didn't have a long running LED. 🙂

Lights of "I AM LEGEND"
I don't know why, but I'm super-excited about this movie. I've always loved those post-apocalyptic, loner-versus-the-hoardes type flicks, but the commercial for this movie really grabbed my attention when I first saw it on TV.
From what I've read online, this movie is a screen adaptation of a 1954 novel by the same name. According to Wikipedia it is the third film version; the first was The Last Man on Earth (1964) and Omega Man (1971).
The movie is basically about a man-made virus that could have possibly wiped out humanity. Robert Neville is/was a military doctor that worked on the virus project and has injected himself with an experimental vaccine. Apparently, the vaccine works, and we see the movie from his eyes: The possibility of any other survivors is uncertain. And before the virus kills you, it turns you into some sort of night-dwelling predator.
In the trailer on Apple's Web site, there is a scene where Robert Neville (main character, played by Will Smith) is sleeping in an empty bath tub, curled up with his dog and an AR-15. The AR has a PentagonLight attached to it. I was totally expecting to see a Surefire Scout Light on there, but it was unmistakably a PentagonLight.
Anyway, the reason why he's in the tub is to ostensibly hide from the night-dwelling predators that the virus has created. According to Omega Man, the predators form a faction of their own and basically make it their life mission to kill Neville. I suspect this new film adaptation will be very close to Omega Man (which looked like a decently watchable flick if you can get over the 70s camp).
Which begs the question: As CPFers, what kinda lights would you want if you were a loaner up against a horde of killers that are afraid of light?

Re: Lights of "I AM LEGEND"
Of the lights I own, Fenix P3D Q5 or my ssc ARC LS's or maybe my MAG 2C convert to 3 CR123A's sleeper.
Of lights I wish I had, it's got to be the Megaray MR 175 - with lots of spares!!! SF M6 or 10 x Dominator on standby.
I used to love the old Charlton Heston version - One scene has him holding a machine gun with a silver 3 or 4 D flashlight strapped to it while out looking for vampires - I'll bet he could have used a fenix or two!!
Be lucky...

Probably some kind of AA based light. I figure if I am going from store to store for supplies I would likely come across AA's more frequently then other kinds of batteries.

Re: Lights of "I AM LEGEND"
I wish I could site my sources, but from what I've read about the "big blackouts," AA and D cells were the first to sell out (C cells were last).

A black M6 (I`m guessing painted), makes an appearance in "When A Stranger Calls".

Re: Lights of "I AM LEGEND"
Sounds like a "must-see" movie.
'Specially for those with an interest in flashlights. :wave:
With the Hollywood writers On Strike, bet we CPF'ers could easily come up with a Sequel. 🙂
Heck, we could even make it a NeverEndingStory !
"I Am Legend, The Return of Darkness" :candle:

AA Eneloop charger + Portable Solar Panel kit = virtually unlimited light.

I'm glad I saw this thread. The last man on earth starring Vincent Price was ok. The Omega Man starring Charlton Heston is one of my all time favorite films, with Anthony Zerbe playing a great villan. I can't wait to see this one.
