Oneshotonepill Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Malkoff md2 at home. Malkoff mdc for work. I have numerous other lights/ brands but I rely mostly on the lights I know will not fail. And the Malkoffs are super nice and have the best (in my opinion) customer service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of my Malkoff's are conversion (3 cell D Maglite and Surefire). They are crazy bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, every handgun has its own coordinated knife and flashlight? That requires WAY more forethought to lights and knives than I'm probably ready to give. P.S. You should really get some more flashlights. I don't think you have enough. ? ? ETA: Super bonus points for the pics!

PATCHMAN Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Around the house in the basement, bedroom, parents house and MIL house, have Maglite LED PROs and 15 to 20+ year old Maglites with updated Malkoff heads. At work, in my EDC work bag, both cars, and living room, 15 to 20 year old Surefire basic flashlights (2 and 3 batteries models) upgraded with Malkoff LED heads.

Al Czervik Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I hear there is some kind of newfangled light that keeps you company if you are lonely. Can't remember the name........?♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I keep a streamlight 1L-1AA (can use AA or 123A) in my pocket, but at the house I usually keep one of my work flashlights on the shelf. Both claim 700 yard beam distance. 12V light has low and high modes, but is spot light only, rated at 750 lumens.. 18V light has spot, flood, and combo, rated at 1250 lumens. I have lots of spare batteries for each of them, main issue is they are a little on the bulky/heavy side, but put out great light. 12V cost me $35 on sale, the 18V was $70.

Rinspeed Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I'm quite the light slut so I own all the ones mentioned in this thread so far. ? The three I use the most are a Nitecore P12, Fenix PD35 and Zebralight SC52. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdsnet Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Years ago on GT I read an officer's post about the little Nebo Redline so I bought one and then bought more for family and at Christmas too. They make some nice flashlights that are easily affordable. https://www.nebotools.com/p/Redline-BLAST/455 Edited July 20, 2018 by sdsnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 my EDC is my Surefire 6P led the 120 lumen one. if i need more i have a Streamlight strion led hl,but the 1 hour run time on high and 3.50 on low sucks,but that is by my bed. in my kitchen i have an 800 lumen Streamlight stinger ds led. at work i have another 800 lumen stinger. and a stylus in my go bag. i have a few other Surefires around. and my next weapon light will be a Streamlight Protac HL-X.

Moeman Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Not picky, own many . I went back to common batteries the special batteries are better but a pain in butt with having special chargers. I wrap each ones handle in glow in the dark tape... stuff is amazing. I think it is really stupid for a flashlight to be all black.

janice6 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I have a gaggle of pocket 3 Watt with Lithium power scattered around the house. My favorite is a 3900 Lumen 3 lithium cell. You can feel the heat in the beam a foot out from the light. running "unprotected" 18650's, used every night, they last for months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPKclone Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) I always have this one or a little sofirn with me. I wish this fenix had a clip. thats the only thing I don't really like about it Edited July 20, 2018 by RPKclone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Right now my closest one is an Olight M20 Warrior Premium. Ha! Just checked in the back of the same drawer and found an old Surefire E2D Executive Defender tucked back in there. That thing must have a few years on it. On a separate but related note... where are you guys finding the best deals on some 123As? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon has a box of 12 for cheaper with FS and no tax, but some of the reviews make them sound a bit sketchy even though the 'Surefire' box looks the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitesite Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) I have done both. I buy the 12-ct red box Surefire. Usually direct from Surefire.. I have paid no more than perhaps $2.50 each when bought by the box. Surefire batteries on Amazon from a reputable seller is A-OK with me. But I tend to go from the source because they are the freshest date code. Energizer and Duracell CR123 in the retail stores go for $9~$12 for a PAIR which is just dumb. But if you check packaging they are usually Made in U.S.A. Chinese batteries are okay for a simple flashlight or a toy. They are not okay for a device that is going to be beaten to death. My Aimpoints, my adored $190 ElZetta B141 ZFL-M60, my weapon lights, and stuff I really care about get the better batteries and they cost very little more, no more than double. USA or nothing. I'm okay with being called a battery snob. It's what I am. Edited July 21, 2018 by nitesite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
