Reccomend me a light?

[jeffreyliu838]

I'm looking for a light that is suitable for general use, but can also be mounted onto a gun (mainly for cause it looks cool, TBH). I'm going to be using this light for chores and maybe keeping one in the car. I go dumpster diving (it's good fun) occasionally, and this would also be used for that. It doesn't have to have some kind of fancy mounting system. Scope rings would be fine. I'd like to keep it around 50 bucks, but as long as it's under 100, it's fine. Size is not an issue. Nor is battery type. It has to have a tac twisty tailcap though. Bright is always good. I'll edit in anything I think of later. Thanks.

Hi....

Am I losing it, or didn't we already discuss a good light for you. I thought you settled on a Fenix T1. I'm a bit confused. I could swear we did this already. :thinking:

Buy a Fenix

Oh, I thought I said I went with the P3D? Typographical error, sorry.

Anyways, that, I don't think at least, can't be mounted onto a rifle. And it's not tacticool enough for me. I recently sold some of my stuff, so I can afford another one =)

A tactical light for Universal, or Picatinny rails (if your gun has them) gives a more seamless, sleeker look than a mounted light. Otherwise, I would go with a 6P and a Dereelight assembly. Great output and throw with a relatively warm tint. It is interesting that CPFers have not yet compared the Dereelight vs. Malkoff Q5 modules. It is always BOG vs. Wolf-Eyes vs. Malkoff. After comparing Dereelight vs. Wolf-Eyes vs. BOG Q5 assemblies, I found that I favored the Dereelight over the others by a faily large margin...

What's the difference between the G2 and the 6P? The G2 is a lot cheaper, and if they're the same, excluding the body material, I think I'll go with the G2.

Aluminum-bodied lights like the 6P are better at heat dissipation than polymer-bodied lights. But that usually only becomes an issue if you use your light in constant-on mode on a regular basis.
