I need a small tactical flashlight for my job.
I already got a Fenix LD20 so it has to be better than that one.
I thought about the Ultrafire C8 or a version of the Solarforce L2.
Which one could you recommend me?
Or is the difference between the Fenix and the other flashlights not big enough?
The flashlight should not coast more than $ 30.
Greetings and thanks for your replies.

There are lots of options, but I am a big solarforce fan. With shipping, its $6 above your budget though.

Worth the few bucks extra.
Awesome solution, the light crenulation is running an SF XML while the top is running an R5.

Okay a friend asked me about the flashlight ( I ordered the L2T)
I only have Trustfire 2400mAh Protected 3,7V batteries...
Now I see in the description:
Warning: please don’t use rechargeable batteries 3.0v or 3.7v, as it will hurt or burnt the LED
Does that mean that I can not use my Trustfires?
I dont know why it would say that since voltage input would depend on the dropin you chose. Voltage input for the dropin is rated at 3-6volts, it means that the use of two 16340's is not recommended. The use of one 18650 or two cr123 primaries will work. I always prefer my dropins to be at .8-4.2v range since there single celled lights, and its easier to bring a spare 18650 then rcr 16340's.
And congrats on getting the L2T, you will love it.......

So there is no problem using the 18650ers?
Thats fine =)
Yes I'm so impatient waiting for my orders to arrive :P
No problems at all.....your good to go when it arrives, did you order the clip as well, for some reason the L2T looks awesome with the clip and ss bezel.

Well i can tell you that the clip is secure when on a belt.....i have had no problems with the two way or the bezel down two way clip.
