Well, thanks! Here in Singapore, Everyone only hear of Everyday light, the range of flash light that Everyday batteires make. Well, So far, I have only found one location in my country that sells Surefire.


BTW, joker, how come you said that Maglite is not that good? Which aspect of it is not good?

Well if you like the MiniMag and you're into LED light, there is a conversion for the MiniMag AA.

This site has them for $9.99 but I got one for half that at WalMart. The only problem with the one I got is that it doesn't allow beam focusing but I find that with the LEDs I don't need the focus function.

Whoa! Nice! so that piece is to replace the headlamp of the Maglite to a LED lite?

Yep, it's very easy to do too.

Pelican, I know of them. I use there cases for my firearms. I've never liked their lights but there cases are strong as steel.

And Maglite is a weak flashlight compared to the Surefire and Streamlight brand. A simple AA Cell battery just doesn't produce the amount of energy needed for a high output light.

Do you just want a small pocket flashlight to find your keys at night or are you looking for something to really see and if possible blind someone with. A Surefire G2 Nitrolon produces 65 lumens of light. That in of itself makes a nice weapon for personal protection. Surefire lights are designed to be used to blind your attacker so you can get the first blow. Other than that, they make great lights for everything else.

After I use a Surefire light, I don't even notice that a Maglite is on. That's how bright they are.

And lastly, the AA Cell Mini-Maglite is longer than a Surefire G2 Nitrolon.

Thanks! So you all are suggesting that I can buy a Surefire light. I am not sure what model I should buy. Can any one advise me? I want to use the flash light for Camping purpose. I will also be using it in some water condition and also over rough terrain. I would like the flash light battries to last for quite a long time too. Thanks!

I use Surefire only, but I don't know that you would want to pay 270 + bucks just to take one camping.

Any waterproof flashlight is going to run you some extra cash, too.

Check out the Surefire 8NX Commander, it might be a little more than you need, but you would find it very much to your liking.

Why you never liked them??? The lights are made of polycabonate and have a lifetime guaranty same with the lights made of CNC-machined aluminum body like the M6. What do you think are their disadvantages exept for the little number of accessories for the tactical M6???

The cases are used here in Germany also by law enforcement, military, divers and hobby shooters.

And i was mistaken when i said Pelican is a Spanish company. My first guess, that Peli or Pelican is an US company was right.
Pelican was founded in 1976 by Dave Parker in Torrance,California.

@ Zander
What do you mean with "some water condition"??? Are you talking about use it in the rain or swim with it across a river?? I don´t know exactly, but i think that neither the Surefire nor the Pelican tactical lights can last long inside the water. But if you only use them in the rain or under your shower they will work.

BTW, joker, how come you said that Maglite is not that good? Which aspect of it is not good?

Because the 2AA Mightylite is much brighter than the 2AA Minimag!!! And the brighter light is because the Mightylite uses a Xenon lamp module while the Minimag uses a normal light bulb! I think that the technology of the Maglite is antiquated. The Maglite® flashlight was introduced in 1979, and from this point the technology was not enhanced. I still think that the 3D Maglite is a good thing because its also a good bat (i have one in my car) but it can not keep up with modern flashlights reference to the light it produces. I allways wondered why Maglite don´t over-worked their lights and for example put a Xenon lamp module into it??? But if they do it at any time I will buy one because than you have a bright light producing bat!!!

I agree with you, that was what I talked about in my last post. If you really need it and use the light for what its made for (like for you as a Air Force PJ), you can spend that money. If you only need it for freetime and only some times a year its just to expensive.

WEll, I go hiking about everyweek end and camping about once a month with my friends! WE also like to explore haunted houses and abondone buildings. So I need a torch that can do all that! I also need it to do temporary blinding! Any specific torch for me?

Ha, I rembered that i found a picture in german Ebay about 2 years ago with a Surefire and a Maglite. I searched in my pictures folder and found it again.
Here you can see the difference:
