WHO MAKES THE BEST PRODUCTION FLASHLIGHT

Regardless,if it's LED or incan, who makes the best overall
light, measured by performance, reliabilty, price, (value for tge $$) in your opinion. VDG

I like SureFire, they can be expensive but they're damn good lights.

"best" depends on your application...

Wow, that's a good question that has many answers, especially when you say price is a consoderation as well. I'm afraid I can't narrow it down to just one, but like it or not, in my opinion Maglite gives great quality for a reasonable price, with reasonable output for a light of it's price/availability/durability. As much as people groan about Maglite, it is a great OVERALL production flashlight.
Maybe the question could be answered with this statement: Performance, reliability, and price....pick any two, and you could say many lights would fit the bill.

Think of it like a test, you are going to decide "your" application,and more importantly what would work in "your" chosen app, and also in many other's you could run into. I didn't want to word it like the usual "if you could only have one light" this is the best light for you, and how you use, or possably use a light in a situation ie, "any" application. VDG

Well, for my uses, I really like the Streamlight TwinTask 2L. The LED setting is fine as is. If the incan had a bit more throw and a bit more total output with a shorter runtime, I'd be even happier. And if the head was a tad more narrow while still offering more throw, that'd be great. Streamlight offers a good lineup of solid lights with good value. They'd probably get my vote for overall best production light maker.

IMO steramlight bet bang for the $$$$$$ I love the Surefire's but I dont think they are worth twice as much

PM6-LED for both $$$ & built.

Proabably Docry if you divide quality ranking by price ranking and go for the lowest number.... but other then that Pelican.

I think that is why CPF has *best* awards for lights etc, because MOST flashaholics cannot do everything with just ONE light nor two lights.... and most likely possibly 3 or more lights.

Without a doubt,"STREAMLIGHT". Offer a great line up and built rock solid....

Best quality, Surefire by far.


Best bang for the buck, Pelican M6 LED.

Surefire IMO, but they are definitely expensive lights.

Surefire for the best finish, beam quality, dependability, and on top of that, proudly made in the USA.

Re: Who Makes the Best Production Flashlight

Gosh there are so many. Depends on how you define "best" for me. Best finish? Value? Availability? Customer Support?

Re: Who Makes the Best Production Flashlight

Maglite, the Magcharger. Also made in the USA. Surefire makes much nicer lights, but more expensive.

Mr.Bulk make the best limited production flashlight. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleye11.gif

Re: Who Makes the Best Production Flashlight

Best production EDC - TnC Custom has filled the void left in my line up created by Arc's demise.

Best production everything else - Surefire, pricey, but worth every penny.

Re: Who Makes the Best Production Flashlight

Surefire is without doubt the best!
But for the average user and factoring in price I would say Streamlight takes it.
