LED Tails please

Can someone point me in the direction of torches with LED (either constant on or strobe) tailcaps. I'd like one for urban walks. Thanks

I would suggest putting a dedicated blinked onto the back of your clothing

pila flashlights have choice of colors in their tailcaps, but I have a bad feeling that the caps won't work with LED p-60 drop-ins.

Greenled has one FS in the marketplace (not affiliated with him)

Lighthound.com has the G&P strobe tailcaps. I have one and enjoy it, but don't use it much.....nice option though!

Unfortunately this is true, the tailcaps will only work in combination with a incan main bulb.

IQ Switch blinks when off.

Would you like the flashlight to have a strobe mode(usually controlled by the driver which is not in the tailcap) or would you like for the tailcap to have blinking LEDs.

That's a *tiny* indicator LED, not meant for illumination tasks.

IMO, Pila lights offer the only sensible option as far as combining a low output LED tailcap with an incan lamp in the same light.

(Yes, I do have a Pila GL4 for sale at the MP)

I want a strobe or just medium brightness LED in the tailcap so cars coming up from behind can see me walking. Saw the idea originally with Pila lights and was just wondering if anyone else has put them out.

There's this aftermarket tailcap for Maglite's

Hope that helps

This is interesting, I actually use a Pila for the same exact purpose. I attach the Codex module to my GL3 Cree, put it in strobe, and the drivers will have a chance to notice me. Other than this, you can carry two lights: your main light, and a second to light the ground behind you in a sweeping motion. I realize this isn't a tailcap solution, just putting out a few ideas.

Pila and Wolf Eyes of course

It takes only a second to flip the light so it's shining behind you. 100 lumens never fails to get a drivers attention, no matter which direction they're headed

This one has an always on tailcap
