Tactical Flashlight - ar-15, flashlight


Click here for more information
This really is a great flashlight for the money. It's every bit as bright as the D-Cell maglight I compared it to. The fit and finish of the parts that make up this flashlight are very good quality considering the price point. Good fine threading on the base and the shroud, a real polished aluminum reflector rather than crome plated plastic is a nice touch.

Several factors lead to the fifth star coming off.

First, and foremost, there is no "on-off" switch per say. There are two setups availible for this light, the temp button or the pressure switch. Neither will allow you to tap-on or tap-off like some of the higher priced units. Having to hold down the pressure switch can lead to some reliability issues in a tense situation, and not having the pressure switch can be cumbersome depending on weapon choice. You can always screw the back in all the way to get it to stay on, but that's not a very tactical nor very fast. (especially on a shotgun)

Second, the mounting hardware included with the light is just a couple of thousands of an inch too big. When you crank down the allen screw that tightens the grip on the light's barrel, it just doesn't get quite tight enough for some heavier applications like shotguns. If you'll be mounting this on an AR platform or something with light recoil, it shouldn't be a factor for you. But if you're getting this specifically for a high recoil weapon like a shotgun, prepare to be shopping for a new mounting bracket soon.

Lastly, attention to detail in final assembly is not what it should be. The lamp is mated to the reflector via very fine threads that can easily be cross-threaded and sure enough, they were cross-threaded right out of the box. This affects beam size, brightness, placement as well as the lights ability to handle recoil.

Be sure to field strip this light down to the bones and put it back together with great care. I added some brake grease to the threads to help with threading and water resistance and once the lamp and the reflector were mated correctly, the beam was perfectly focused and VERY bright.

Overall I absolutely love the light. It's a great deal for the money, I'll probably be buying a second one to carry aside from weapon mounting. There are just a few issues that cost it that last star.

This flashlight is extremely bright, rock solid design with no rattles or looseness. I did have to exchange the tactical slide on mount for a new one that actually fit and tightened around the light case (reason for not giving it 5 stars) But once that was fixed, it fits like a glove on my gun! LOVE IT!!! Amazing product for the inexpensive price!! Other $200-$300 lights i have tested aren't even this bright!

i put this on my 12ga shotgun. it works just fine. heavy, sturdy, bright, and comes with a strobe function. the strobe does have to be cycled through on "clicks" but its half the price of my other gun mounted light. i think its worth the money. the pressure switch is straight forward but replaces the flashlights backscrew giving you only the pressure switch to turn it on/off.

I purchased this light for my S&W M&P 15-22.The light is very bright and looks great. Mounting took less than five minutes and the pressure switch was an easy mount on the forend handle. Great buy for the money.

I spent years in manufacturing quality control. I can't find any reason to fault this in any way. it is very well made. the fine threads require some care and grease. Very bright. I can't figure what could make the competition worth 100 plus dollars more.

Bright enough to leave retina burn. Built solid. Handles recoil. Easily compares to other tac-lights costing 10 times as much.

I see some complaints with the tightness of the flashlight in the mount. A small piece of tin, cut from a soda can even, or a small strip of electrical tape, placed on the light, then slid into the holder, will rectify the slack. This is known as a shim.

This is a great product at an extremely reasonable price. Have used 2 now, on different builds, and had 0 issues. It's a steal.

Have only had this for a couple weeks but think the quality is top notch. I have fired rounds through my AR 15 with the light attached and all is well. Great quality for the $$$$, Cant see why anyone would pay $200+ for high end lights.

I am in Afghanistan and use this light for everything! The pressure switch is very useful! I have it mounted to my M16... The rail I had was a little big but I managed to fit it on by loosening the light mount all the way! Love this light and use it everyday! Very Bright! Very Heavy Duty! Love it!

Fits great on my gun and for the Price you can't beat it! Don't expect the save brightness you'd get out of a Tactical light that you'd play three times the price, but that's not what I was expecting.

went on my ak47 rails without issue and stay true. no issues with setup and works without issue. for the price u cannot beat this - i have seen some that come without batteries or a rail holder. granted this is not for actual tactical application but for 75% of the people looking for a good dependable light - this is it. - Ar-15 - Flashlight - Utg Light - Tactical Flashlight

Bright Flashlight - bright flashlight, tactical flashlight


Click here for more information
I decided I wanted to stray away from those cr123 batteries & buy a small flashlight that used AA batteries or AAA batteries. Since I already have 3 Streamlight flashlights & 2 headlamps; Streamlight is know by me for dependability. This is a bright flashlight with a glass lens for its size & does not need those expensive cr123 batteries. If you go camping or whatever; you can get AA batteries in almost any store. I have seen when I had to watch how much I used the flashlights that used the cr123 batteries. The strobe on this flashlight would confuse anyone shined close up in their eyes. The 3rd mode would be great for reading in the dark. It even comes with a black velcro holster to wear with you that clips to your pants or on a belt. I might add a lanyard to mine. (A small cord that is hooked to the flashlight & can wrap around your wrist.) Both ends on this flashlight have defensive bezels if needed for close self defense. Buy one & you'll be amazed with this amazing flashlight! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This Streamlight double AA flashlight is bright and reasonably priced compared to competitive models. I like that it is based on AA batteries which are easy to find at any store. It is made of aluminum and is reasonably rugged without taking the "tactical" thing to silly extremes. I expect it to work well on a daily basis for a long time. I own a couple of the Streamlight flashlights that use two AAA batteries and this one is several times as bright.



If you remove the clip the light will probably fit in many of the typical accessory pouches made for the Maglite Mini AA. It does have a wider diameter back end than the Maglite so you may not get it to fit on all holsters. I use a "NITE IZE Pock-Its" pouch now and this light only fits when the accessory clip is removed.



Only missing feature is a dedicated place to attach a lanyard. You could probably put the lanyard through the accessory clip but would risk it pulling free. There is a "strobe" function that turns on if you push the on button twice quickly. The protective lens over the LED and reflector seems to be glass and will resist scratches and yellowing better than the usual plastics. Enjoy.

This guy is twice as bright and considerably smaller than the streamlight it replaces. At 120 lumens it is just ridiculously bright. It has a focused white beam. I've ownwed many streamlights in the past inclusing the 4AA yellow ones and the 2AA "luxen jr" and this thing is just a beast! Get some quality rechargeable aa's (not store bought, go online for high-drain/fast charge units). This guy is regulated so its bright until the very end. No long, painful winddown. The ONLY gripe I have is the transition from high to strobe or low. High is default, double tap is strobe, and triple tap is low. Low is actually good enough to go running with in pitch dark once your eyes adjust. It takes a little practice to toggle settings...you have to give it a light tap followed by a full PUSH to get to strobe, and 2 light taps followed by a complete push to get to low. It is always "high" when turned back on. This is by far the best 2aa light Ive owned. It just wrecks the old halogens. Until youve seen it you wont believe it.

I got this for a birthday gift for my dad. He is a auto mechanic and he loves it for working under the hood. It is bright enough to light up under the hood outdoors in the sun. For the price you can't beat this product. It is durable and only needs 2 AA batteries. I highly recommend this product. Buy it. Now.

This flashlight is everything it was described as in the Amazon ad. I use its super bright strobe light feature to charge up my glow in the dark fishing lures to send down to the dark depths of the lakes I fish for lake trout and kokanee in the summer when they can only be found in deep dark water. Great product at a great price. I couldn't be happier with my purchase on Amazon.com!!

After reading these reviews I felt comfortable enough to make a purchase, and wow was I impressed. For being a single AA battery the little guy is BRIGHT! It took about 1 minute to look at the instructions and figure out how to switch between modes. I like the pouch it comes with, for the price this is a steal! Excellent product, would recommend this to anyone that needs a small tactical flash light. Will definitely by Streamlight products in the future.

So far I've purchased two of these flashlights. They work as advertised. The features that stand out from the rest is the light throw in a pitch black room from a 1 AA battery operated light. It's amazing how much light comes from one AA, which are pretty cheap to replace. It comes with a Velcro flapped holster that can sit on a belt or you can carry in the same pocket as a cell phone without worrying about scratches from it's aluminum build. Overall it's compact and powerful. If you are looking for something light and easy to carry daily get this light. I switched from a Surefire 6P Defender LED to this. I have yet to take it to the range to see how it withstands 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP recoil. Considering it's LED there should be no issues with the bulb, just have to do a range test on the electronics and housing. - Bright Flashlight - Tactical Flashlight - Flashlight - Compact Flashlight

High Power Led - tactical flashlight, camping


Click here for more information
You should always have a good flashlight in your car left alone except for emergencies. This is a great flashlight for that purpose. This flashlight is excellent, very small and compact in size, very well made, and very bright. This flashlight was designed for maximum power output at the cost of a shorter battery life of about three to four hours. You would be very impressed by the brightness of this flashlight. The tactical switch is nice feature. Yes there are many good flashlights out there, but you won't go wrong with this one. I highly recommend. Shop around for best price.

I got rid of my Lithiumm battery flashlight,it was costing me to much to replace them.With AAA size battery it was inexpensive.Dorcy Flashlight is also durable,I drop it on my basement floor and no damage to it,especially the Cree light.Its reliable,small,AAA size battery cost less then a lithium battery.The Cree light (200 lumen) is ver bright.I got two,one for each car.I am planning of ordering a third one for me to carry,when I am taking a walk around the park,along with my sword cane.Thanks for a great product.

This is one incredible flashlight. The light output is really bright! I bought this flashlight for camping in July at Yosemite where it's pitch black at night. This is also good for blackouts at home or anywhere you need a one. I bought flashlights with less lumens at a higher price. Using AAA batteries is an A+ since it's readily available if it needs replacement. Turning it on is unusual... twisting the end cap all the way for constant light and loosen it a bit for intermittent lighting and pressing the end button. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommended.

the dorcy light is a good strong flashlight i do wish it had a regular push button switch for on off instead of just turning the end cap. also the run time could be longer than 3 hours ?? overall it is a good light.

Great feel, weight, etc. Quality made, not junk. Light is clean, perfect pinpoint and flood in one. Brightness? Don't turn in on in a dark car, even if you point it at the floor and are looking away... this bugger is bright! Battery life is excellent, no noticeable dimming throughout. And fuel.... 3 AAA batteries. I love this light. Highly recommended.

I got this Dorcy light specifically looking for a tactical light. Everything about it is perfect. The size is just right - it's small. It fits very comfortably in my hand - I have medium sized hand. The head in the pic appears larger than it really is. The tactical switch works GREAT - pressing it on/off with the pad of your thumb creates NO NOISE from the switch - just what you expect and need from a tactical light. And, of course, you need bright light in the general area of focus and this thing puts out 10000 watts!! allowing me to see everything clearly in the line-of-sight and general area. Awesome light, awesome price. You will not be dissapointed. - Tactical Flashlight - Camping - Farmer - Flashlight
