I recently joined this forum to reseach a Reliable, Durable, and bright duty light. I had only been considering the Ultrastinger, Magcharer, and the likes because of their versitility as a last ditch impact weapon, but I don't want to limit my options. I have never used or seen an LED in action but been looking into them as well, considering the Inova t4. My knowlege of lights is very limited, and I getting mixed up with the Lumens vs. candlepower, since lights are listed with one or the other. I Need a light that's good, somthing I can rely on, and somthing that can take a beating. It does not need to be big. It was one of my original parameters, but I realize how many time I leave my police car without somthing atached to my belt, and large lights just get in the way of moving. Anyway, If, I already have a stinger, but it's got some serious miles on it and looking to upgrade. Will An LED do the job, or should I stick with the traditional duty lights. If a t4 is no improvement over the stinger, well than i'll stick with what i know. Any sugestions will be appreciated. I know No amount of money is to much for my saftey, but in all reality, if I don't have the capital, I won't get the light. Anywhere in the 115 range should be fine.
