HERES WHAT I WANT!:
Okay orignally i wanted a Surefire 6p with a KL5 (5 watt LED) upgrade. I wanted to go LED cause it claimed an hour of 100 lumen light ( http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/prrfnbr/1168/sesent/00 ), and then 3 hours of "usefull" light. However, when I was researching I found that a lot of companies advertised only 65 lumens for an hour then 3 hours of "useful" light... WHATS THE DEAL? I sent them an e-mail, but nothing so far...
Then I found a company called Wolf Eyes. They offer the 9TX Raider, which is really neat and has a non LED bulb but provides a claimed 200 lumens of power from the main lamp, and 5 lumens from the rear bulb (it has two lights in one, check it out http://www.tactical-flashlights-store.com/9-Series/9TX-Raider.html )... But I really want the LED for the main light (not incandescent) cause I might drop it or something and i dont want a bulb to burn out cause of that...
SOOOOOO my questions:
has ANYONE used the KL5 upgrade for Surefire 6p?
if so, is it really 100 lumens for a whole hour?
Has anyone used the Wolf Eyes 9TX raider?
If so, does it really give off 200 lumens?
If so, how easy does the bulb burn out (how many times could i bash someones head in before the bulb doesn't work?)
OH YEAH ONE MORE THING!!!
I know a lot of these lights are only powered off of CR123A batteries, which are expensive. I dont want to upgrade to rechargable cause then I lose my low profile, so does anyone know about this CR123A battery recharger? ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9731002134&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 )
I figure if i could buy this and 4 or 6 of CR123A batteries I can kinda get a rechargable rotation going on while I use my light every other day or so. But its made in Hong Kong, and I know their reputation does not impress me with quality. Do you guys know of any others that are high quality?
And also I heard that surefire 6p isnt water proof? whats up with that? tacticle flashlights that aren't water proof?!?!?! is this true?!?!?
I know i wrote a lot so ill stop here... thanks in advance
