The 5.11 TPT® L2 251 FLASHLIGHT in Sandstone is on sale for $7.97 plus tax (free shipping) with code "FRANCIS30". It uses two 123 batteries which appear to be included. I found very little in this forum about 5.11 flashlights and have no personal experience with them. From the reviews, it appears that this flashlight has a history of cracking.

It came up $17.99 , not $7.97 for me.

Maybe that’s not a “1”, maybe that’s just the first crack.

Plutthound, welcome to BLF from one newby to another!

OK, the $7.97 sale is over but I'm seeing a $11.25 price now. Base on the product reviews, I'm not even sure its worth $7.97. There are only four reviews for this flashlight on the product page, and two of them mention problems with cracking. One of the reviews mentions a bad switch as well as cracking. But, I'm going to try to keep an open mind. When I receive the flashlight, I'll look it over carefully, use it some, and then post my impression.

Update: Only the black version of this flashlight is left in stock - listed at $11.25. But if you move it into the shopping cart, the price goes up to $17.99. Crazy.

Check out the NexTorch lights at Illumn.com, then. P60 drop-in, nylon body, pretty nice.
