Flashlight Enthusiast
I managed to track one down, w/out the pepper spray contraption attached to the butt end. Very few times, have I said..."holy sh**!!!" when I first turned on a light, but this particular device made me say it...twice!!!
For those not familiar, the Tigerlight was originally designed around a flashlight, but with a O.C. cannister attached to the butt end. Very recently, Tigerlight came out with a non-O.C. version, which I have.
Brief details: It's about the size of a 2-D maglite, but is slightly wider. Weighs about a pound, and is contructed of aluminum. The switch is unique, in the it's a button (like a mag) but is positioned on the body of the light, approximately 1" from the butt end.
The lens assembly is almost identical to the Streamlight set-up, and even features the 2 pin/wire set-up seen on Streamlight Sl series lights. The NiMH pack appears to be constructed with 6 AA size cells, in a triangular fashion. They sit at the rear of the light, and are buffered by a thick rubbed spacer/grommet.
Initial testing showed the battery pack at 7.8 volts with no load, though this number doesn't equate to the number of cells in the pack...I'm looking into that.
The lamp pulls 1.85 amps at 7.19 volts, yielding a 13 watt bulb.
Lamp output is listed at 50,000 CP, but compared to my U.S., the tigerlight is brighter, and I would estimate the CP at 70,000 or so (subjective, of course) and the lumens at 300 or so, as it's brighter than all the SF's I own, including my M-4 w/MN60 (225Lu) LA.
The beam consists of a very hot spot with concentric coronas, but has some slight shading, but no significant dark spots.
Overall, a very well designed and well made light, with the few negatives being its shape, there are no carrying options (othern than via pocket) and the switch may need some familiarization.
