Headlamps take longer to put on though. I don't fancy sleeping with it on my head in case someone breaks in, I would rather grab a flashlight standing next to my bed.

Maglites are great for when for LEOs looking into cars, shining in the eyes of drunks and high motherfuckers also for bonking people in the common peroneal when they start to buck on you are start to get froggy with you depending on policy.

The Fenix PD35 is the single greatest handheld light of all time and is literally the only flashlight you will ever need.

>"tactical" flashlights
>mag-lites
Tactical generally doesn't mean jack shit when applied to gear and Maglites are a standard because they're cheap and durable.

Only reason maglites became popular was you could beat niggers with them and arm security with them and not have to pay for baton training

>police operate at night, when the most crime happens
>why do they carry flashlights?

user, think about this. It's harder to see at night, so they're carrying a light to illuminate the darkness.

But why the rails?

Why don't police just use NODs?

>Fenix PD35
>850lm turbo
Not even close, faggot.

To mount a flashlight

They tend to use those mag lites as clubs too.

You do realize you can hold them in your hand, right? You just grip it like you're showing someone a badge.

I don't know if mine is considered "tactical" but it fits in my pocket nicely. I'm sure if LEO's didn't have a duty belt they would probably carry something smaller.

because you can beat the ever lovin shit outta some faggots with a 16in maglite. that's why.

>LEOs still carrying mag-lites on their duty belts. What's the craze all about?
To hit people in the head with them

I carry a surefire for lighting purposes, and a 3D cell maglite for "lighting purposes".

All praises be to the hippie anointing "Nigger knocker"

I like lights.

When the cops shine a light in your face they are blinding you on purpose. It's when they do this the other cops move into position.

It's a light, that's bright enough to see things in the dark. I get the whole tactical meme but honestly carrying a light is just way too useful. I don't carry a knife or gun but you bet your ass I have a flashlight on me. It's not for clearing rooms or anything, I just don't want to step on anything when I'm walking barefoot to my room in the dark. Are there any non-tactical flashlights or is it just the act of carrying a light in the first place that is memey?

I want a flashlight that is
>Bright
>Has a high/low setting
>Waterproof
>Impact resilient
>Compact

That is almost universally a "Tactical" light. Not my fault realistic requirements are all met by black striking bezel aluminum tubes

>best
>not surefire or HDS Systems

I'm not that user, but if you count all of the shitty flashlight companies out there, streamlight is definitely in the top 25% or higher.

Keychain: surefire Sidekick. (too bulky for some. Size of car remote)
Olight S-mini baton
Work- HDSsystems.com 200 lumen model from 10yrs ago. Sent the tail cap to Henry this year for a spa treatment after a decade of use. I've used it as a hammer, washed, submerged in oil and it keeps on ticking. Lifetime warranty on all his lights.

Candlepowerforums.com is a good place to check out. 2nd is edcforumscom.

Cri more bitch boi.
Your pussy light has no range, can't hit 2,000lm, and can't USB recharge. Don't be salty because you bought a weak piece of shit flashlight.

I'm totally not saying it is not a good flashlight by no means. 7/10 is very good imho.

...then kicks your ass with 5000lm for two and a half hours which looks like pic related.

It's all good. They're definitely not perfect. I was just trying to be funny about counting the 9001 Chinese knockoff companies out there. I don't have high expectations for mine so I like them for what they are. When I get a rifle light I'll step my game up but for EDC finding shit in the dark streamlight is great for the price.

5000lm before and after.

That doesn't seem that much more impressive than 500 lumens.

Maglites are shit, purely. They aren't bright enough to justify their size and weight.

What does justify the size and weight is the fact that it can be used as a baton/glass breaker as well. Why carry a baton around when a flashlight can do 2 jobs? It really does suck carrying all that weight around on your hips all day.

There are plenty of options for a Day or C cell flashlight than a maglite though. My dept issues surefires which I wouldn't recommend, they have a hot spot in the middle of the beam meant to blind anyone you shine it at, but it mostly blinds you. I'd assume most people just use what they're issued because it's free, explains why I use this POS and why they use maglites.

There are vids jewtube detailing how to use a light to prevent blinding yourself especially when room clearing.

Here's 500lm. Doing my best to try to get the same shot, but no tripod and the mosquitoes aren't fucking around tonight haha.

That seems like a weak 500. I'll go have a drink outside and check.

> here my head is at

1. why does it exist
2. why do i want it

>he doesn't spotlight deer on other peoples property from his own property

Spotlight hunting is also illegal in some places.

>Less lumens is somehow better
>Removing the tailcap, taking the batteries out, charging them on a separate charging dock, and reinserting them into the light is more convenient than plugging amicro usb into the light.
>Let's just ignore my light's shitty range and tactical capabilities.

Bunga bunga? Grug live under rock? It ok, me explain to you, mush-brain. We have better tech now. Your light is inferior to mine in every functional aspect.

Bro just get a $10 flashlight from walmart, it's literally all the same shit

>Flashlight is a flashlight

You really couldn't be more wrong. Few technologies have moved forward as rapidly over the past decade as LED lighting... vape pen R&D is also being leveraged heavily.

High quality tac lights running 18650s (yaaass) or SF123s (okaaay) are light years better than maglites and the like, unless you're beating someone with it.

Is the entire video just a five second long clip of someone yelling "don't use turbo mode unless you need it, and don't look at the hotspot when you use it"? Because yeah.

i've used non-mallninja lights like this

they're always shit and never stay in place and break within a month. would not recommend. just get a normal flashlight or head lamp

americans don't understand things like this. they can only think in terms of memes, so they don't realize that you can use a headlamp without it being on your head.

>talks shit about americans and lights
>cant afford a surefire hl1 on his helmet

Attached: 1527297636200.gif (245x320, 537K)

You really have no idea how important a flash light is till you need one a couple times and haven't got it. Especially if you're doing any sort of work, even if you're good enough to do what you're doing without being able to see it's just easier if you can.
I don't really understand weapon mounted flash lights because I feel like they are usually positioned in a spot that do nothing to help you use the sights.

I like mag-lites. Got a half foot long or so. LED is nice and bright, made out of aluminum the D batteries add quite a bit of weight but since it's aluminum if I drop it on something probably accidentally or if it knocks into something for a clumsy reason since it's kind of long, it's sturdy and heavy enough that it seems like it wouldn't break very easy. I carry it around sometimes when it's dark out, fit's on a belt pretty good doesn't seem to get in the way much.

case in point. i say "you can use a headlamp without it being on your head" and you go on about not being able to afford a headlamp to put on a helmet. where did I say I don't have a headlamp? you, like all americans, are so poisoned in the head that you literally cannot understand things that aren't straight from either reddit or a commercial

>I don't have a headlamp
>you, like all americans, are so poisoned in the head...

Lookie here foreign scum, I know you don't have a headlamp and you're probably jealous of all our American tech. So, you'd think whatever headlamps you people do have make up for low quantity with higher quality. You're wrong. Whatever you think you have, we've done it better in America. We've got great flashlights here featuring hard type 3 anodization, aircraft grade aluminum, coated tactical lenses, and weather-proof designs made in the USA. Let's look at what we've learned here: 1) you're a poorfag who doesn't have a headlamp and 2) America just dabbed on you and whatever shithole you're from. Now stop posting and fuck off.
