Unless you use a flashlight professionally, Don is right...There are many good brands of LED lights that arent as 'professionally' priced as the Surefire and work just as well or better...
The top is a Streamlight weapons mounted light I use on my XD45...It is a LED and very bright with adjustable focus...Cost was about $90 when I bought it a number of years past...
Next is my pride and joy...Surefire Lumamax L5...Very bright and extreamly well made...but high dollar at Around $200...Got this one as a gift...
The green one is a rubberized finish Surefire G2 with a red filter I used for finding my way to the deer stand before daylight...Think it was about $70..Its incadescent and I hope to change it over to LED one day if it can be done..
And the bottom is a very cool, all alloy, inexpensive compact LED marketed by Smith and Wesson...It is a dandy little light for general use...About $35...I prob use this little light more than any...
But by far, the baddest of the bad is my Streamlight Tactical...Shown mounted on the business end of my Mossy 935....This thing is as close to a Darth Vader light saber as you can get..Extremely intense beam and no problem identifying anything out to 500+ yards...Kinda odd bell shaped end, but if you want intensity at about $90 this is the way to go...
