Hi all,
Been a long time away from the CPF forums. 3 or more years ago you guys recommended the Gladius as my duty light. It has since performed flawlessly, I would attribute my continued health (and existence) to this choice.
The only negatives being an untrustworthy holster, where I reduced to carrying this in a lanyard.
I have come into a bit of money and am interested in bettering my advantage. Are there MUCH better LED lights out there now, worth upgrading to (OEM, not custome builds)?
I am looking at a variable light source similar to the GLADIUS (easily set), robust (water and shock), A good throw (equal or better than G). And about the same size (can extend another 2" MAX - it should not be so little that it screws up my gross motor movements), eye-searing max light. can use rechargeable lights like AW's. More than 20hrs light use IF poss.
Use:
Search - rooms, vehicles, land (upto 100-150 yards), document checks (dimming feature),viable and robust fistload (Conflict Management Model be damned ).
Budget: $180 (whatever it takes to get me home in one piece)
Can you guys help?
Regards
