this is the light that will replace my polystinger at home. or at least move it full time to garage duty. 90 second recharge time!!! too huge for travel, but it would light up racoons for miles!! earthquake, home intruder..blackouts.. bring it!
Light for Life Flashlight UC3.400 | Flashlights | 5.11 Tactical i wonder what an ultracapacitor is?

For what use? That's the big question. Don't laugh...the one I grab most around here is a little 2 LED, powered by a 9V battery thing. I have them scattered about the place, in the cars, by bedsides, near the TV, etc.

Olight is good quality and cheaper than Surefire. Get some rechargeable CR123a batteries and you're all set OLIGHT T20 TACTICAL w. Cree Q5 WC LED 5 levels, 220+ lumens! 2 x CR123A |

Surefire E2D. There is not other flashlight that is as small and as powerful. The new LED version pumps out 200 lumens.
For general use, Surefire G2. Troy

The non LED surefires burn through batteries way too fast. I have a 4d cell maglite for repo work, and a couple of the smaller "tactical" lights around my house.

None of you guys have heard of Fenix? EagleTac? JetBeam? Nitecore? Olight? I'm embarrassed for you punks!
After the post with that exploding CR123 SureFire I've switched to all AA lights. Yes, I'm paranoid, but I carry my flashlight clipped to my pocket, about 10" from my man parts. Have a Fenix LD10 right now--it does 120 lumens on one AA battery, is water proof, and has several alternate modes (low power, strobe, etc.).

Thanks, Gluten-Free.
That price is sans charger, but with the charger, it's $10.00 less than Amazon. Good job.
