Blueskybob 12 Posted March 11, 2013 http://www.gearhog.com/?did=40014 $20 with $5 shipping for up too 5 units Runs on CR123's or AA. Just a rear click no pressure pad. (if you check out http://www.gunshack.com/, they have what I think is a better deal, but sold out) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A-Tech 8 Posted March 11, 2013 This comes up on gearhog every so often, but it's nothing different from the normal price. Regardless, I've had this on my AR for probably 1500rds with no problems. Cheap light for a weapon that may get beaten up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rightisright 3 Posted March 11, 2013 Hmmm. That's pretty cool that it runs on a CR123 OR an AA battery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blueskybob 12 Posted March 11, 2013 Alternate Supplier (not on sale) I just found a site that uses the same emitter. And has the same capability of using CR123A or AA batteries http://shop.monsterflashlight.com/Cree-R5-LED-Tactical-Flashlights_c2.htm They offer two models, one single mode and one with the 3 way mode. They are a little more expensive about $6 or $10 more, but the company is based in NJ, which "might"mean better customer service. Either way I like both flashlights offered since they are single battery models. Most of what I have read shows the major problems occur with the non-recharable batteries when user mixes nearly spent batteries with new ones. I have seen some battery packs of 2 or 3 in a sleeve to prevent this happening. When you get into the rechargables, it is a whole other ball game, with protected batteries and chargers...... There are now a couple of lights out there where the system is so smart it allows you to run on 1,2,3, or 4 batteries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not - and you'll probably get charged sales tax, lol. I've had no issues with Gunshack through Gearhog - I've bought that deal twice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, plus they just released a newer model for, I think, another $10. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
