Flashlights in TV shows and movies (Part 4)

Judging by the crenulation and side switch it looks like a Fenix TK20R V1 but a lot of lights from Chinese brands would have both a side and tail switch.

Definitely not a TN12Pro or PD36R: in the second photo the head appears to be larger than the body so it's not a one-inch flashlight.

More Mag action in The Last of Us, this week.

I watched an early episode of the nature series, The Desert Speaks. It originally aired in May 2006 and is all about desert tortoises. At one point, peering into a dark rocky cavity, a researcher held in her hand a beautiful yellow Surefire G2 with a nice warm incan beam. Yes, there was a tortoise at the back of the chamber.

Watching the British forensic crime drama series "Silent Witness" (now up to season 25), police and pathologist/investigators frequently use UV flashlights to detect blood and presumably other clues. I am no expert on identifying specific flashlight types, and the shots are not all that good (close-ups), but would be interested to know what types they most likely use (assuming they're real), which would stand up to professional usage.

While watching the tv show Friday night lights there was a scene where character Tim Riggins was talking to a girl while working on a truck and it briefly showed him holding an incan minimag in 2009.
They were actually pretty good inspection lights due to the ability of the small spot to peer into crevices well.

Last night while channel surfing stopped at S.E.A.L.Team, Marine had a flashlight in hand inspecting iron diving bell equipment. A tiny hand held, couldn't tell at first what is mfgr., and then bam! Camera closeup to MAGLITE written across the head. TV soldier no doubt carrying a new Mag-tac crown bezel!
Tony must know a few Hollywood folks for the free advertisement.
