What is your "ideal" flashlight?

What is your \"ideal\" flashlight?

It seems that most people (myself included) would like something with specs similar to this:

- Bright as the sun. Literally.

- "Staged" so that you can get it as dim as a firefly for tacticality.

- Never needs batteries.

- Waterproof to 15,000 ft.

- Same size as an Arc AAA, maybe the size of a CMG-Ultra or X5T, maybe smaller than an AAA for some people.

- Rugged enough to withstand a direct hit from a nuclear warhead.

That about covers it. Did I miss anything??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Seriously, what would your "ideal" light be? (Other than what I spec'ed out above? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif )

Re: What is your

You just about got it nailed!:thumbsup

Cost less than $50! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Re: What is your

Nuclear powered.

Re: What is your

I was wondering....what is the definition of "tacticality"?

Re: What is your

hmm.. probly about the same as you just described.. only i'd definitely like it bigger than an arc aaa.. more like the size of the brinkmann rebel long life.. maybe expandable/retractable?

I meant it as a joke...a play on the word "Tactical."

Re: What is your

My ideal flashlight is usually the last one i bought, and this month, its a Surefire M2 with KL3. 4Hrs+ per set of batteries = guilt-free fun.

Re: What is your

- The size of an E2E-H$, but with type VI anodizing.

- Lifetime LED, digitally controlled.

- Clickie tailcap (Z100).

- Selectable brightness levels by rotation of tailcap to desired level indicator. (25 lumens, 50 lumens, 100 lumens, 150 lumens, 200 lumens, 250 lumens and 500 lumens)

- Adjustable focus.

- Available in assorted colors, including 'Passion Grape' (TM).

- Retail for all this should be around $75, with the infinitely adjustable brightness model arriving sometime next year!

Re: What is your

Heh, a little change here and there:

- Bright as a supernova...

- "Staged" so that you can get it as dim as starlight...

- Never needs batteries...

- Waterproof to the bottom of the Mariana Trench...

- Same size as an Arc AAA, maybe the size of a CMG-Ultra or X5T, maybe smaller than an AAA for some people. The size of a Photon would be nice...

- Rugged enough to withstand a pull into a black hole and a direct firing into the center of a hypernova...

- Chemically/biologically inert and indestructible...

But more sanely (I think /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif ) something about the size of a M6 that can dim down to almost nothing, but is based on a quick strike HID that can maybe produce 10,000 lumens and focus to a Maxabeam's beam, and a few hours runtime, would be nice...

Re: What is your

The size of an SF E2, with a dimmer switch that allows you to go from "barely there" light, up to the output of a McCulloch x990. Bright, white light with a three-hour runtime on highest setting. All for $25.00.
