looking for a extreme flashlight

Slowrider · Dec 20, 2006

hello guys

im from switzerland, my english is not perfect :sssh:

i hope you understand me :thinking:

my flashligt hystory:
maglite 3 C-CELL--> bad
streamlight scorpion--> not bad for this small size
streamlight ultra stinger --> not bad, but i want much more :grin2:

i lookin for a extreme flashlight.

must have:
high light output
extreme bright
extreme long range
size like a maglite 4 d-cell
price is not important

must not have:
rechargebal
long running time

you think the surefire m6 guardian is the right one for me?
have you some other ideas with links please?

in my opinion get a surefire m3t you have an m3t then add an extender and you have 230 lumens for an hour or 350 lumens for 20 minuts or if you can afford it get a surefire m6 it is supper bright and a lot smaller than a d cell mag.

hope this helps, David Miller

An M6 will have more output with the high output bulb than an ultra stringer, but probably won't throw as well, so I think that's out if you want throw.

If you want that kind of output from a 4D sized flashlight, it sounds like you might be looking at some Magmods.

One thing I would suggest you look at before doing Magmods is some of the more reasonably priced HID lights out there, like the one that Amondotech sells.

M6 doesn't fall into this category, in my opinion.

For long range, you want a Thor 15 million candlepower (US$50-$100), or more likely something like an Acro X990 (US$320). Even a cheap Vector rechargeable spotlight has pretty darn good throw.

Edited: take a look around www.flashlightreviews.com

cheers

Slow, welcome to CPF!

The M6 doesn't have a super long runtime either (actually, very few high powered incans have long runtime) How long of a runtime do you need, by the way?. How about something like an M3 with a turbo head?

slow riiide ...take it easy....

welcome Slowrider.

You might want to take a look at Elektrolumens' offerings in the Manufacturer section.

I'd suggest an HID light or else a modded maglite like Mag85 or USL. I'm not sure if you meant you wanted a light that is not rechargeable or if it doesn't matter if it's rechargeable or not.

Maybe something here would be to your liking since price does not matter.

The AE powerlight comes to mind.

Or the Microfire K2000 here https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/123549&page=1&pp=30

yup, HID, AE PL24 or X990 will foot the bill nicely.

dixemon · Dec 20, 2006

I second the AE powerlight or Microfire.

light_emitting_dude · Dec 20, 2006

I'm getting one of these next year! (I third the AE powerlight)

I guess the Microfire Warrior could be the right thing, from CH easy to puirchase here:http://www.powerleds.de/shop/index.php/cat/c49_HID-Leuchtmittel.html

A very reliable shop in Germany.
It only may be better for you, if it would be sent to an adress in the EU-neighbourhood

.

I recieved mine a few weeks ago, and it is a little pocket sun!

its difficult for me to understand all the professional words.
i unknow how the right description for changing from a small point to big point?

the Microfire K2000 looks alo great.
its small with a high output.

glockboy · Dec 21, 2006

Go for Tigerlight, and it a recharge, and long runtime.

cheapo · Dec 21, 2006
