Where I work, we are still issued mini mag lights…

I’m looking for a carry tactical flashlight of approximately the same size; it can be slightly larger.

Must be black and come with a black nylon carry case (to fit my duty gear).


I’m looking to spend around $100

Also, links to a good website where to buy it.

Thanks for the help

I only deal in strategic flashlights, sorry

Look at surefire.com. For $100 you can afford several different models with different sizes, lamp types, etc.

I use the surefire A2 Aviator in my flight gear.  It has the LED dimmer light option (which is still very bright) or the blind-everyone-within-a-100-meter-radius option.  Only beef I have with it is that sometimes it kicks straight to the blind-everyone-within-a-100-meter-radius option option without giving my the LED option.  That's kind of irritating in the cockpit on a pitch-black night on a carrier deck, but hey, what can you do.

How about a Pentagon light?

You know you can lock out the incandescent light?

G2 and a nylon holster $49.00 from Surefire and without any discounts.

First off go to the Industry section and look for Calvin's business "BrightFlashLights".  He'll hook you up with Surefires (or others) at a great cost.

A very good place to get info on this subject is in the LIGHTS AND LASERS section in the AR Discussion area.

For $100 you have lots of good options from incandecents to High-Output LEDs.

Yes, but then when I WANT to blind someone (or look at the belly of another airplane), I have to turn the knob - I'm lazy.
