Heres a pic of my current stock of high-powered/tactical flashlights:

Uber flashlights...

Its' probably around $500 worth of lights.

From left to right:
PentagonLight X3 Xenon -135 lumens
PentagonLight L2-3W Luxeon LED - 65 lumens
PentagonLight X2 Xenon - 70 lumens
Streamlight ProPolymer 4AA Luxeon - 40 lumens ( Very tight beam, great bang for the buck $23)
Surefire G2 Nitrolon - 65 lumens
Surefire 6P in gun metal gray - 65 lumens
Surefire 9P - 105 lumens stock, 200 lumen lamp assembly available as option
2AA MiniMaglite with Terralux Ministar2 TLE-5 new "high-dome" LED drop-in
Surefire E2e Executive Elite - 60 lumens. Just got this one yesterday-my new fave..
Surefire 6P - 65 lumens. This is an old beat up one that I experimented on and stripped the body down to the bare aluminum to try and make it look better. Didn't work, now resides permanently in my bail-out-bag.

The big OD green thing is one of those Fulton military issue 2-D cell lights....

To put things into perspective as far as output, a standard 2AA MiniMaglite puts out about 8 to 10 lumens:Q

Flashlightlens.com for replacement/upgrade lenses for your lights. The UCLs' are great!
Battery Station Good place to buy batteries. If you join CPF (Candlepowerforums) you will be able to buy their CR123As' for $1 each. They've been tested against the big brands and work just as well. I buy mine from Surefire since I like buying American (yes - Surefire batts are made in USA!), but BatteryStation batts are good.
LED Replacement.com great LED upgrades for your Maglites!
Fox-Intl.com

You can also buy stuff through the Buy/Sell forum at CPF - will burn a hole in your wallet!

**UPDATE** Night Ops has introduced a line of high powered incandescent lights that looks badass.

You can find the whole sordid tale here:

I guess you gotta collect something... that seems odd, though. But your house must be a great place to be during a power outage! :p

So, do you use them for something or are you just stockpiling for the next big blackout?

I got it from Fox-Intl.com There right there on the front page on sale. Its a great deal. I would use the lithium AAs' if you going to leave it in you car. They give longer runtime (about 5hrs coninuous vs. 3.5hrs with alkalines) and they perform better in the cold.

I have a Surefire 6R and bought my dad a 6P last Christmas - we're both happy Surefire owners! I'm considering going to the high output bulb but don't know if I can swallow the 20 minute battery life.

Nice flashlight collection! :thumbsup:

My best flashlight is a Surefire E20-HA Outdoorsman with a 60-lumen bulb assembly... I use it all the time... very handy. I also have 3 Inovas... the X1, X5, and X0. Also have a Streamlight twin-task which is also nice.

I hear the Night-Ops Gladius is THE flashlight to have. I am trying to get one of those. ;)

Here's a pic of my Surefire. Text
