The Flashlight Nerd Thread

Yeah, I know, I know... I said above I am cured- that is a lie. I spent a good hour or so on my flashlight sites after reading this thread and now I have a few lights I want to buy. This one isn't too pricy and I don't have any USB chargeable lights: http://www.batteryjunction.com/olig...ator_homepage&utm_campaign=responsiveTemplate

 

I've got 3 different Olight
2 Different Nitecore
1 Surefire

Olight M1X Striker is my EDC

 

I haven't bought a new light in almost a year. The withdrawal symptoms are deep.

 

ok, help point me in the right direction folks! I'm wanting something rechargeable, LED, super bright that can fit in the center console or glove box. Not really wanting a compact light, would rather have lumens vs compact size. Thanks!

 

Nitecore MH25. You can even recharge it while you drive.

 

Carry one of these everywhere I go!!! Just picked up 2 today so when it gets lost or stole I'm not without....

 

really wanting something bright though, any experience with the Nitecore TM28?

 

Holy shit, sounds like you want REALLY bright!!

 

exactly! super bright and somewhat compact

 

In that case, I would direct you to the SkyRay King.

It's kind of a copy of that light, but a fraction of the cost.

I have two of them, and they are very nice.

 

Are they decent quality?

 

Surprisingly good.

 

when i first got into lights, it was crazy! had a very long wishlist, but it was never filled. only have a couple for now and will look to slowly add.

- nitecore srt6
- nitecore mt2a
- nitecore hc50
- eagletac d25c clicky ti
- zebralight h602w

 

Update: I am still impressed with this light. Been thru 2 power outages and it just keeps going. I've recharged it twice. So the battery should last 500 years.

 

Ok guys, trying to buy my first solid light (best I've had this far is just the led maglite). I want a small tactical light and I've narrowed it down to the Fenix PD35 Tac or the Klarus XT11GT. Anyone tried/compared both of these lights themselves that can provide a side by side comparison of your thoughts?

 

I've never heard of Klarus so I looked it up and read some reviews. You should too. I know, that's no help but it's all I've got.

 

Yeah online reviews are what got me interested in it to begin with but looking for someone with some real head to head comparison and not a website with links to purchase said flashlights, ha.

 

Buy both from Amazon, and send the loser back in 30 days?

 

I have a few lights; jetbeam, fenix, klarus and nitecore

 

Ohhhh FLASHLIGHT... Not... Never mind.

Carry on.
