Surefire M6 & Mag double as same light on TV

Last week on "Without A Trace" the main actor (not sure of his name) was looking for a lost boy in an alley. His back is facing the camera as me pulls out a light. The beam is very broad on the wall in front of him and you clearly see him focus it down to a tight spot. This happens very quick and the beam looked a bit better than that of a Mag but it was clearly a light that could go from flood to spot very quickly. In the very next scene as he walks down the alley he is holding a Surefire M6! Which any true flashaholic knows will not focus. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Good eye..

nothing like the guy on a deserted island that has the 400 dollar light to make me jealous humm maybe he would like to trade for an led light since m6s arent so great on batts

Mossyoak,

Two different shows, "Lost without a Trace" about kidnaps and similar situations, and "Lost", about the not so deserted island and a plane crash.

What kind of lights do they use on CSI?

I am becoming a flashaholic, I'm noticing the damn flashlights on the show when I should be paying attention to the dialog!

Mainly the SF M4.

Yeah, I also lose some of the story when I start analyzing the flashlights. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Actually, "Lost" is the series on the island after the plane crash. "Without A Trace" - sans the word 'lost' - is the other series.

I saw the grey SF M4 but what is the smaller black bodied light they use? It looks to be a 2 CR123 cell format...

That would be a Streamlight Scorpion.

Yep, thats it! How does that thing compare to a Brinkmann Maxfire LX or a SF G2?

Favorably. More throw and generally more output than either.
