Will do..and for you sir, you do have a nice collection of SF. I saw your lights on MyCPF and was quite amazed with the M6. Do inform me if you want to let it go..hee..hee.

Yes bro, I do have the AW 17670.

What other surefire lights u have? got a link or something

thanks for the link...
that's it... just G2 and G3... no moola to get those surefire metal piece and prefer to get my lights from the kind souls here in LYN (GW2U, Philightsophy, polkiuj, etc.) and b&m stores... was at one point tempted to get E2DL, but then decided to get T20C2 and TA21 instead...

I noticed there are more surefire fans here than i've expected, but the eagletac and fenix is just about as worth it and at lower price. I'd go for eagletac and fenix over surefire too, I'm not doubting surefire quality, mainly because of the price. But those 2 are still very good lights I like their UI and designs more

I agree with Pseudoblue...

The EagleTac P100A2 is rather cheap for a 225 lumen..and i like the solid built of it...and size, not too small and neither too large, exactly at comfy grip size... the momentary on/off is very useful as well... the only thing lacking is a strobe... a minor inconvi..

there's quite a thread on the functions of strobes in real life.
Very limited use actually, and have u actually had to use that function yet?

Hey, nice collection man!! Eagletac has nice looking lights, and those Quarks


Haven't come across.. but it's more like "See, my light can do this *StrobeStrobeStrobeStrobeStrobeStrobe*"

reached yesterday, but today's only can pick it up... actually bought two and 1 M2XC4 (on the way...)

Used it twice so far...
Once was when i was waiting for my gf in a car at night.. There were like a dozen or so other cars and she couldnt pick out which one's mine...

2nd was when i went with some Rela/bomba/police members for a night ops rescue.. It was published in the paper some time back, 2 brothers of snr age was lost while trekking in Moon Gate, Penang. My strobe was used to notify some sergeant about our teams' whereabout among the sea of flashlight and people. The 2 brothers were lost on 5pm and rescued by 7am the next day.... I went back around 4am after a 3 hours search, so didnt really do anything much, kekee...except to test out my newly bought Fenix LD20..

Ah nice story, you should post it in cpf.
But again, still not that many people use it and in both cases u could actually use the momentary on and flash it quickly many times and it'll just be as efficient (but leceh lah haha).

P100A2 is the bomb! Haha!

It's not 225 lumen though. Where did you get that idea? Eagletac only rates it as 195 emitter lumens! Unless you're talking about the P10A2. P100 is way better (IMHO).

And you don't need strobe with this guy. You can manually strobe with the switch. Works fine for calling people.

For self defence, a full blast > off > whack works best. (Tested on NS, Sorry NS. =D)

heys, just so if any of you haven't come across yet. Got this link from CPF, it's superb!

Site has very good beamshot comparison for different flashlights, you can compare them, do read the intro

original post: Check out these beamshots throw and flood

i am new to all these led flash.

anyone tried this ULTRAFIRE WF-501B? claimed that 245 lumens, is it true? how is this UltraFire as compare to other brand like Fenix, EagleTac?

the price is quite cheap costs less than 100 included battery 18650 n charger.

Hi, its usually a hit or miss with this brand..so far i have bought 2 units from DX. RL-118 and C3 SS..both arrived safely and comes pre-lubed. But feedbacks from CPF stated otherwise on this brand. i guess it depends on your luck..so far my two Ultrafire works fine..

i've tested a couple of ultrafires and have one myself.
They are definately cheper for a reason. One is the reason stated above, u have a certain percentage (which is pretty high) of getting a faulty unit that u need time to fix.
And they are just not as robust or feel as solid as the other more expensive brands.
I think definately not aircraft grade aluminium and no waterproofness.

Here's my modest collection


3D P7, Legion II, Mg PLI, Fenix L2d, 2AA Mag, SF G2(R2 drop in), Fenix LD01 SS, Ultrafire RL-118 SS, Ultrafire C3 SS, Solarforce L2 SS, 3D P7

Apologize for bad pics..

one more coming next week ..bored 6P with nailbender SST-50 drop-in
and end of september hopefully my first Ti lights..Quark Tactical 123 n 123x2..

what's your opinion on the Legion II? is it tough? something that's "whack-able"? do you think the lens will withstand drop?
