Need a Good Flashlight

Recommended Posts

These are all great suggestions, guys. Looks like I have a lot of options. Learning a lot about lights that I didn't know, too. And a special thanks to SgtToadette for that extremely informative post. Something like that is just what I needed to help me make a decision.

Can anyone shed some light on the difference between these two models?

 

The Quark Pro QP2A-X - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0400AG0528&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA

 

The Quark Pro QP2L-X - http://www.etoolscity.com/foursevens-quark-pro-qp2l-x-flashlight.html

 

The latter puts out more lumens (360 vs. 280), and it lasts about 4x longer than the former when set on maximum output. I assume that's because the A model takes AA batteries and the L model takes CR123A's.

 

So then why is the model that puts out more light and lasts longer a couple dollars cheaper?

Those two lights are pretty much the same thing with the exception of the power source. Why one is cheaper than the other? I'm not really sure. Probably just a retailer thing.

 

Their dimensions are also a bit different because 123 batteries are shorter and a tad thicker than AAs. FourSevens website does a pretty good job breaking down the different specs for all their models. I'll use it for reference then punch the model I like into Google Shopping to actually buy it.

    • So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english.  #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that.  #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law. 
    • I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform"  A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th.  Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped.  what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of.    are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way,  what constitutes an encounter.  voluntary? involuntary?   time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack.
    • Right, each location will have a different set of Repeater frequencies you can use in your area.  You could also just have 2 sets of CHIRP files ready to go and make sure you have the ability to program them quickly in a SHTF situation.  Maybe dedicate at least one radio for each location with specific programming, and then when you get there you can re-program the radios you take with you with the programming specific to that location.   More expensive radios have the ability to program them via your phone app and BT connection.
