Are they\'re really using SF M4

Just looked CSI on TV a few minutes ago and besides
the streamlight scorpion they used SF M4 for night
outdoor use and used them in a cave.

Do the "real" police really use that kind of bright light
for searching forensic footsteps? I think a streamlight
scorpion is bright enough for a non tactical use?

Maybe I am wrong and I apreciate to learn new things
about flashlights

BTW SF M4 seems to be very popular in Movies and TV
series. CSI, Alias, Star Trek ....
Cheers

hi ralf,
i think you saw this episode in which a "flashlight-error" occurs.

Haa! I saw that, too, and was wondering about the strange beam the M4's were creating - these huge black holes and no hotspot made me wonder. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif Thanks, Makar, for solving this riddle. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yes I noticed this "flashlight error" ...
I mean I am looking CSI mainly because
of the flashlights =

More Hollywood BS.

Searching a crime scene is difficult enough without having to wave a flashlight around.

Some director just decided it looks cool.

I thought I saw them using M3T's on CSI one episode. Does an M4 have a grip ring, too?

No, the M4 does not have a CombatGrip.

Ah,

then I definitely saw an episode of CSI where they used M3T's. Nice looking lights. I love the look of that light. I almost ordered one the next day (also because you, Al, recommended the M3/M3T), but stopped myself, as I haven't even paid for the Christmas plane tickets yet. And then there's the SHOT show. And the Arc LS4.

Anyway, thanks for the info, Size15s.
