How many Lumen's would be considered good for a shotgun? |
You got me on that one.I don't know either. |
An LED fixture with multiple LED lights will be more difficult to focus, and hence have less reach... But in all reality it's a pretty small difference, and I would quickly and gladly take the extra bulb and battery life. ETA: There are many other factors that figure into 'reach' which is not a technical term. Please don't make a purchase based on what I said, it's just a piece of trivia from a guy who does theatrical lighting. |
| I have the surefire dedicated flashlight forend on my 870. It works great and has been 100%. The Surefire weapon lights that are incandecent can hold up to the recoil. That being said LED is THE way to these days. My little surefire with the Malcoff LED conversion head is putting out a nice prefocused beam of light with plenty of reach all they way out to approx. 75 yards. |
True. Incans generally have better "throw" LEDs have better flood "side spill" |

I was wondering more about shock from dropping the gun not so much recoil.I'm sure Surefire designed it for this. I'm looking for good light output for indoor use with the need to use outdoors due to having some acreage. It seems everyone really endorses the Surefire. Are there other options as good? |
For a house shotty I would, and am, using a Malkoff M60F (flood) in a Surefire fore end. Basically there ain't no dark left to hide in when that baby lights up the night.
