God tier tactical flashlights/brands. No custom pocket jewelry. I love me Hanko as much as the next but I'm not gonna use that shit in a SD scenario unless it's my last option. I'll take a momentary Elzetta or Surefire before my custom lights.
Surefire, Elzetta, TLR, Wilcox That about all I would use.

Yes, it's part of the autistic EDC cult. These are the kind of people who get tritium inserts put into their knife handles. Or they carry, I shit you not, EDC tops. Because they can't think of anything better to do when they get bored but pull out some machined, $80 pussy repellent.

>>30096879

>>30096881
For some reason I got the impression that surefire went after HDS for the rotary switching. Do they still make them?
for 26 bucks these things are sexy as fuck
>>30096918
Yes HDS still makes both rotary and clicky only styles. I don't think any surefire have the same kind of rotary mechanism
>>30096946
I don't remember 100% but I think Surefire tried to sue over a patent on rotary mode switching in general. They have a rotating heads for the vampire series and the white/IR weaponslights.

Not the other guy but you can piece together something comparable to a surefire for only 50-75% of the cost. I personally don't have the time and energy to be autistic about lights so I would prefer to just buy premade lights.

If you go just a smidge bigger you can get a Fenix PD32 that can take a 18650. 900 lumens and it is pretty small. Has a snap on pocket clip versus threaded on one to boot.

>>30097139
Not him, but i wouldn't use the word 'building' for putting together a P60 based light. Just order the parts you want, spend 30 seconds screwing them together, and you have a light customised to whatever your preferences are. This way your not limited to the very few factory models with a true tactical switch. You may or may not save money, it would depend on whatever factory model you are comparing it to.

No. A 1000 lumen light that size would probably be a hobbyist type thing, with an IMR high discharge battery and a very short run time. The 280 lumen listing would be the most accurate, as that is what trusfire claims.
>>30098051
Did some searching and found this. It's only a half inch longer, but it puts out another 118 lumens (418 total). Strike bezel, water proof, drop proof. With positive reviews and a price point at $40, I think you would have been better off buying this.

Do you think you would be able to tell the difference between 300 and 400 lumens? The E1D can probably throw further, burn retinas better, with a longer battery life and simpler UI.
>>30096777
does anyone have an opinion on olight?
>>30098519
Eh. Fair enough if you really do buy all American.
>>30098555
Not sure about their tactical options, all i can tell you is that the M23 tailcap switch is difficult to momentarily activate without latching on.
I would probably look to other brands for a tactical flashlight, but for other purposes, i highly recommend olight, particularly the baton series and the M3XS-UT spotlight.
>>30098575
I don't 100% always buy all American, but I try to when possible.
I have over 10 lights from Surefire; from old X200s and X300s to the newer X300U-A and X300U-B, XC1s, keychain lights, etc.
In terms of flash light companies, I've yet to find a better company with a better product.
>>30098540
>Do you think you would be able to tell the difference between 300 and 400 lumens?
Nah, it's more logarithmic i think. ~600 lumens is where you would see a real difference. But, if you want to actually use a flashlight for self defense, you might as well get something a little bigger that runs on 18650s. You'll have a lot more throw, battery life, and retina burning power :^) I just think these "compact" lights fall in between real compact size and self defense capabilities. Whatever works for you though.

surefires and streamlights are the only ones i trust on a firearm or on duty.
LED 6D maglight is 100% reliable but to big to edc. They make perfect vehicle lights and to beat people in the face with.
other flashlights i use are LED minimags and Fenix PD35s. The minimags because they're a nice balance of brightness, reliability, cost, and they take AA batteries and have a good battery life. I put those in various kit and bags because AA batts are available everywhere. The PD35s are 1000 lumens and are my general EDCs as the surefires all live on belts or guns.
I try to run everything off of AA, 18650, or CR123s.

I bought a Nebo Slyde for like 20 bucks the other day, and lost it when my friend and I went out fishing and flipped out boat. I had an old surefire back when I was flying, that had two levels of red light and a very bright white light. Its around somewhere but I think the white light is burned out. You guys got a recommendation for a good red option flashlight that isnt too expensive? What do you guys think about the Nebo Slyde? I might buy another (no red option though)

And you use that smartphone light for stuff like finding your keys.
You use the light for searching, target identification, disorienting a target, and shooting. And also blinding your friends like an asshole.
>>30096933
I have three of those flashlights, and they're damn good. They work really well, especially for how cheap they are. I picked up the first one because I saw it at Costco for $20 and thought 'there's no way it's actually a thousand lumens'. I'm not sure if it is, but it sure does work well.
When I need something smaller, I use my mini maglite. It's cheap, it works decently, uses AA batteries, and I can slide it in my jean pocket next to my wallet with no hassle.

>>30107779
http://www.customcarryconcepts.com/Basic-FlashlLight-Carrier_p_26.html
Best I can think of.
You're basically asking for something that's going to carry like an OWB double-stack mag pouch, so if you've got a problem concealing that, you're going to have a problem concealing the light.
tfw 9000 lumen 100 watt custom hand sun
>>30107901
>CCC basic light carrier
I just wore one of those out. Split right along the top edge of the belt loop. Apparently that's a common problem with kydex belt loops. It lasted at least a year and did its job well until it fell the fuck off my belt so I wouldn't be opposed to just getting a new one periodically if it came to that.
My main problem with most flashlight holsters that I've seen is that they aren't designed to cant the light inward for concealment, they're either neutral- or outward-canted so the light is easy to draw. While this makes sense in a vacuum (why would you need to conceal a flashlight) it creates problems when you have other things on your belt line that you do need to conceal (i.e., a gun).
I'll probably just call the CCC guy and see if I can work out a custom order to meet my specific needs.

Surefire has a good reputation for a reason.
I'll take a lot of crap for saying this but I really like the CRKT Tactical Applications Flashlight ( F1010 ).
Projected lens reflectors provide maximum output and brightness of blinding light. Caution is advised when using the lights; do not flash directly into the eyes for extended periods.
The industrial grade rubberized, tail cap button is pushed to control the multiple light modes.
Tactical Applications Flashlight Modes –
>>High Mode Functions (Bezel Out) 320 lumens - Approx. 150 minutes of run time.
>1. Momentarily On–Slightly depress the on-off button with your thumb or index finger to temporarily activate the light. Release and the light turns off.
>2. Fully On–Depress the on-off button until it clicks to fully activate the light. Click to turn off.
>3. Strobe On–Quickly depress the on-off button twice to activate the strobe. Fully click the final press to lock into a constant blinding strobe mode. Click to turn off.
>>Low Mode Functions (Bezel In)
>1st click displays a low 3 lms light with 286 hrs. of run time.
>2nd click turns the light off.
>3rd click displays a mid 10 lms light with 40 hrs of run time.
>4th click turns the light off.
>5th click displays a max 75 lms light with 8.5 hrs. run time.
>6th click turns the light off.
>7th click displays (S.O.S.) with 75 lms and 26 hrs. run time.
>8th click turns the light off.
>After the flashlight has been off for 2 seconds, it resets to the original settings.
I know there are better on the market but I don't think there are any better within the under $150.00 ( I bought mine for $60 ) price-range.

On the last thread about lights on k someone recommended the streamlight stylus.
My brother got me one of the USB rechargeable kits for my birthday.
I am amazed at the throw this 60 lumen light has.
It can light up objects 30 yards away in the dark and is a perfect task light for my job which is plumbing.
The person who recommended them said it had a lot to do with the reflector.
>>30108647
Forgot to mention "inb4 it has no strike bez-" James Williams has said he designed it without one because it is better to constantly keep the light in a foe's eyes and strike with a knife, kubaton, pen, etc. than it is to risk losing the blinding light that is helping to protect you. First vid related; second and third are just a bonus.

I really like the profile of that light but damn that strobe switchology is bad. And the strobe is slow as fuck. I know a lot of people could care less about that stuff but I really like the flashlights with one button that has momentary on (partial press) and constant on (full click), and a separate button that only does strobe. My Nitecore P10 has been pretty good so far, I know some people like the Klarus XT2C as well.
>>30108576
Nice shit. I was debating on getting one, after I seen it on a friend ar, it look to big for my taste.
>>30108734
I promise you that the description of the light is just lacking. You can activate all of the features using partial presses. I agree the strobe could be faster but I've also seen lights with much slower strobes and feel they found a nice middle-ground.
My biggest complaint about the light would have to be that it gets warm ( maybe it is just because I carry it in the front pocket of my work bibs ) in the hand. My second biggest complaint would be the uncommon variety of battery used in the light.
>>30108781
>the uncommon variety of battery used in the light.
You mean there are flashlights that don't run on CR123s?
>>30103738
cry harder, poverty patrol
>>30108745
It is too big, you will need a special 1 inch light mount that sticks out farhter for the large bezel. Or you can mount the front of the bezel at the end of your handguard if the muzzle isn't near the same place
>>30108734
I think the strobe is just slowed down for the sake of the video. IRL it seems much, much faster.
>>30108804
The smaller ( and less powerful ) personal defense model ( F1000 ) runs off a AA. I've also had other lights run off AA or AAA.
>>30108871
Yes, the strobe in the video is slowed compared to how the F1010 strobes IRL. Maybe they did that to avoid giving somebody a seizure.
>>30108654
Yeah, you need like 1 lumen or less to read a map, especially if your eyes are already dark adapted.
>>30109401
Nah mate, at least fucking 50 to ensure you are getting all the details.
>>30109454
No, you need 500. This way if the enemy are laying in ambush for you, you can blind them as well.
Since this is a light thread I thought it would be the best place to ask. Does surefire or someone else make a tape switch for the surefire G2X?
>>30109536
Yeah sure mate.
I'm sure ruining your eyes is worth it to ensure your flashlight isn't too bright, just in case you get invaded.
>>30108251
Late reply, but I think the biggest problem you're going to run into with your proposed setup is that the Surefire's bezel is significantly wider than the body of the light. I suppose it wouldn't be as much of a problem if the light were carried bezel-up.
I have a tough time concealing anything OWB unless I wear a button-down shirt, and find myself carrying a spare mag less and less often because of that. The best I've got is a Raven mag pouch, and while it works most of the time, it's also pretty fucking huge. I can tote around a G17 in a well-fitting t-shirt, but I can barely carry a spare mag.
IWB mag carry hasn't worked for me, but for flashlights that aren't pocket carried, I've gravitated towards wearing them clipped IWB. I carry my gun AIWB so there's a bit of a space up front for the light to hide. YMMV, but in my case that works out a lot better than trying to hide the thing OWB.
And yeah, I'm not a fan of kydex belt clips/loops on anything anymore. I've had several give out on me. I like Raven's injection molded stuff or a soft loop, and I'm midway through the wait time on my first custom leather holster right now.

>clipped IWB
What, like hooking a pocket clip onto the inside of your belt/pants or something? I don't follow.
>>30109843
Yep, exactly that. Clip it to the waistband of my pants (belt's too thick for most of my clips) and go. Usually I'll keep it at about 11 o'clock, light angled along the pelvic crease for comfort.
It works out just fine with lights that don't have a deep carry clip. There's usually at least an inch or so of the body to grab.
Caveat: if you're a frequent light user it's probably going to look fucking weird to pull a flashlight out of your crotch. I use my phone light for day-to-day stuff so I'm not concerned about appearances.

I just searched "edc top" on youtube because I had to see this for myself. The video I clicked had almost 50k views and features an adult male talking about these pieces of "high end gear" and how many hours he spends practicing the "timing of his spins".
What the fuck.

I thought edc "pry bars" were the peak of this form of autism, but you have shown me a whole new world.
>>30098051
Many, many other options for much better performance for a fraction of the price, retarded tripfaggot.
Olight SR20 Baton for 40 bucks puts out 950 lumens for 40 bucks, rechargeable and the same throw distance.
I EDC a Thrunite T10 and its awesome for a $25 single AAA light. Reading, mid, high settings. 3 ways to change settings.
>>30110607
At least the pry bars have a function
This is advanced autism

Never even watched it and it was out before I started this job. In terms of unrealistic comedies, Observe and Report looks like it would be more accurate of a parody of us.
>>30102932
Lesson learned here. I also had other shit from them that lasts less than two months before wearing out. Not even electronics, just clothes like hats and shit. Ali Express and Wish shit for half the price literally lasts much longer.

Ares .410 flashlight, the button becomes the trigger when you remove the ring pin.

people like to feel as if they belong to a group that others don't know about. It's the same reason some guys dive face first into vaping and vape stuff where it almost sounds like they are speaking a different language.
its just a way for people to feel unique and we all do it with something or other.

Look at the way people type there and gun, knife, and light boards. The unironic use of smileys, unfunny cliches, circle jerking, and inability to web search makes them seem underage b& in comparison to the manchild driven hate machine.

What knife is that?
Does anyone know how hot you can let a flashlight like this get? It's a Thrunite TN12 2016 XP-L NW. It doesn't seem to step down so it gets hot as shit. Sorry no thermometer to give exact temps.

>>30116287
If it's made out of metal you can let it get as hot as you want, it'll be fine.
>>30113948
You manage to hit all the big ones BUT the best rifle lights out there, Armytek and Eagletac. Otherwise, you're in with the good shit.

NITECORE P12
1000 Lumens, 1" OD and it eats button top 18650 Li-ion batteries, so if you vape you just need to get some 18650 batteries with protection circuits.
>Pic isn't mine, because I'm out "enjoying" memorial day
You will get just about 1h at MAX brightness, and 2-3 on medium, 12 on low, and damn near forever on ultra low.
Great for camping IMO, a single battery will last for a whole trip, but bring an extra just in case you get lost or some shit.
>>30116287
Pretty damn hot. The TN12 does have thermal protection.

Nice Raven clip. They don't make those anymore, do they?
>>30116665
>>30116665

I couldn't say, but they're pretty nice

Good eye btw, considering the shitty pic i posted...

How do you like carrying the Fury? I don't know how people can fit a 2 CR123 light in their pockets, but I'm thinking it might be easier if my light had a smoother profile like the Surefires.
>>30116707
They stopped making them for awhile, but within the last month re-released them.
>>30116769
Its no issue really, i normally keep it clipped to my bag as opposed to on my person; but it's small enough, kinda like if i carried a flip phone or a pack of smokes, bulge-wise
Anyone here use a mini Maglite? I've been thinking about getting one to keep in the car, it's cheap.
>>30116665
How do you like the RCS clip? It seems to have extremely mixed reviews. Was installing it a problem? Does it interfere with the function of the tailcap?
>>30116769
If this helps
>>30116908
Why not just get a G2X? More practical and only slightly more expensive.
>>30113893
I blame Inception for a lot of things.
