What duty FLASHLIGHT do you carry?

[Safety1st]

What flashlight to you carry on duty..????

Personally, i'm quite into flashlights and similar equipment..

On my body armour, I carry the following;

Surefire C2 (which is a fantastic small flashlight. Thoroughly recommended !)

In my kitbag, I have a Surefire M3T, for open area searches etc..

My force only issues mini-maglites...which just aren't up to the job, in my opinion.

Your life can rely on the quality of your flashlight..and you should buy the best you can afford...

I carry several flashlights. Im not too into going to dark spaces. I have a Stinger that I carry on my belt, I have a Strion that I also carry on my belt. I have a Ultra Stinger that I keep in my duty bag. And I have a M3 for my Glock. I can light up a small 3rd world country.

Some people get crazy with flashlights. I guess I am boring, I just have a rechargeable streamlight and a stinger for the belt. Nothing fancy here.

You can never have too many Flashlight's, Belt, Scorpion by streamlight, M3 Combat light attached to Glock 22, hand carry for searches Inova T4 Rechargable LED Very Bright, lasts up to 3 hours before needing a recharge.
Department Issues Rechargable Maglites( very bright, but very big and heavy)

I'm one of those who won't be caught without a good light and a good backup light.

Surefire 9AN on my duty belt, extra battery always charging in my patrol vehicle

Surefire M2 as back up

Surefire 6P in my off-duty flashlight/mag holster

I was issued a Stinger and do use that on occassion but usually keep it as an additional.

I carry a Streamlight UltraStinger as a duty light. Streamlight M3 on handgun, Pentagon MS3 on rifle, Surefire on Shotgun, Night-Ops Gladius on duty belt and a Surefire M3 with high output bulb on SRT. I like my lights.......Oh yeah and a X200 on my off duty gun.

I have:
- 1 no-name 1 million candlepower rechargeable searchlight (carried in a tool box in the trunk of my patrol car);
- 1 Pelican M6 xenon, powered by 2 Powerizer RCR123A 3.0 volt lithium-ion cells (kept in above tool box as a backup);
- 1 Pila GL3, with white/blue LED tail-cap, powered by 3 Powerizer RCR123A 3.6 v li-ion cells (always on my duty belt);
- 1 MXDL 3 AAA 3 watt LED light (WAS always on my duty belt);
- 3 Dorcy 2 D 9" LED traffic wands (in the tool box);
- 1 Mag-lite 2 C, with an HPR40 bulb, camless medium orange peel reflector and powered by 2 x Pila 150A 3.7 v li-ion cells (in the tool box);
- 1 Mag-lite 3 C, with a hardened glass lens, KPR118 bulb, and powered by 3 x 18500 3.7 v li-ion cells (in the tool box);
- 1 Gladius (not in service);
- 1 Striker VG LED, powered by 2 Powerizer RCR123A 3.0 v li-ion cells (PROBABLY will replace the MXDL).

Except for the 1 M CP searchlight and Gladius, all of the above lights, and their chargers, are loaned out to another LEO to demonstrate to his co-workers at a convention. When the collection comes back, I will probably pass it around to the local PS, FD and EMS for their demonstration.

I don't like the dark! ;)

did u mean the stinger flashlight i carry to illuminate dark objects at night....or the 6 D cell mag light i keep in my center console for those back country road traffic stops that go from 0-nasty in about 2.8 seconds? :confused:

[SCSOMike]

let's see, stinger on the belt, strion in the BDU pocket, sometimes along with the Surefire G2. SL-20 in the trunk, and i have a couple of handheld spotlights that rarely see any type of use other than farting around lighting stuff up in the middle of no where.

what do they expect you to see with that? where you dropped your pen in the car??

amen to the 2nd part. that's why all of us carry extra lights and spend small fortunes on them, i'm going home at the end of the day!

[mainedawg]

What ever light you buy me safety1st. How are you?

[ateamer]

Strion. SL-20X in my war bag, along with the Surefire 6Z that the Strion replaced. I also have a Streamlight M3 on the Glock 22, soon to be replaced with a TLR-1.

I'm a fan of SUREFIRE: I carry the M6 Guardian indoor/outdoor search light 500 lumens:) and Z2 duty built carry
