I’m looking a big, cheap and bulky light that will be left in my car.
I don’t care how many lumens does it have, if it has a Q5 or superior led, It will be ok. If I’ll really need a lot of lumens, I’d go with my EDC lights (usually 300+ lumen output).
A maglite 6xD will be fine, but il will cost too much.
I found these light that fits my requirements, do you have any experience with these?
Get a Solarforce L2P with extension tube. It will be thicker and stronger than most and have high quality. Total cost would be $35-40 with a good drop in. Not a better exists at that price.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing and realized it before posting. But the twist is I was going to suggest looking at estate sales. Can’t beat a working 3D mag for $5. Might be a bit harder to find there, but hopefully there is still a good savings if one can be found that way.
thank you guys. Yes, it will be mainly for defense use.
you guessed, the maglite incan 3xD costs 50€ (60:money_mouth_face:. Too much since I gen get big light for less then 24$.
If I get stop by the police and they see a big maglite I can say that’s for lighting in case of emergency.
If they see a light that will remind them the weapons used by gladiators… I think they won’t believe the emergency story.
that’s why I was looking for an “anonymous” light.
The Small Sun ZY-C56 looks like it could put a hurtin’ on someone but still passes as a flashlight and nothing more. Aside from the emitter it actually looks like a pretty decent and easily upgraded light.
I bought one to mod it some time ago. The threads are rather bad, makes it hard to screw the tailcap on straight. Also it has a low quality switch, cheap flaky plastic reflector and a hollow pill :Sp
It is modable, and a XM-L throws great with the reflector, but it’s not the best host in the world I’m affraid
Well, that’s disappointing to hear. In the customer images it looks really nice in the pics posted by one user. Can’t see switch quality in pics though.
