How do these rate? I've seen them on Shooting Gallery TV. Obviously very pricey!!!

These three sites have reviews of one or more Blackhawk! lights:

The only one I have experience with is the Gladius (with a Surefire FM34 Beamshaper installed), and it's my favorite flashlight. Botach.com has an "Insight H2X Typhoon" which is identical to the Gladius (same manufacturer, different branding, perfectly legal) for about $120. If you're thinking about buying from Botach, Google search on CPF for them and read the numerous Jeer threads. Just be careful.

So in a nutshell, some of them rate very highly and are worth every penny, and others are just way overpriced.

The Gladius is a VERY good light. I don't personally have one(yet:naughty: ) but many people rave about theirs here on CPF...

I have the Falcata 6V. I am a surefire man but have to say the quality of the falcata is as good or better than any of my surefires. Also has the nicest clickie tailcap I have used. My main critisism of the Falcata is it is not compatable with other lamps and rechargables batteries. That is what I like about Surefire and now wolf-eyes. Heaps of choices with lamps from lumens factory, G&P etc, Sf, WE etc.

The Falcata would be heaps better if things like Cree drop ins, diffent out put lamps etc were available.

Love my Gladius........ continuously variable from full power down to 1 lumen (with memory) and totally waterproof.
Really bright and well made too.
