I am asking for personal experiences with the various flashlights available for practical and tactical use.
I am wondering what your first hand opinions are on your own choices and also on the following choices, keeping in mind illumination, durability, battery power, and price. I will not spend $200 on a flashlight........it pains me to think of spending upwards of $100, but I'd do it if I could rely on the product and not need others.
***Anything by surefire such as G2, Z2, E series, M6 (very expensive though) and those models similar
***Streamlight Stinger HP and Polystinger (which look like solid choices), Scorpion, and TL series (which seem quite nice/quality but I haven't used them yet)
***Extreme LED by Cabelas
Right now I'm using mag lights for practical use and a brinkman xenon light with the tail cap switch and 2 lithium batteries (seemingly the same thing as a surefire just not as fancy or expensive) for tactical purposes. The only thing is..................after a few uses the juice is gone and I've got no more light. I'm looking for advice from you light junkies out there.
Thanks!
