Looking for buying advice

My D80 has not yet been delivered, but it sounds like it would be suitable for your purposes. 1300+ lumens max output and 20kcd beam intensity. Small, compact form. $20.59. For discount code and further discussion: GB BLF LuckySun D80-SE Need long tubes? -3/3/16

I’m quite sure that it would more than match the output of whatever you’ve been using.

This is a sample beamshot (message no. 1813): GB BLF LuckySun D80-SE Need long tubes? -3/3/16

For your purpose, I’d recommend choosing the 1A tint version because (1) it’s the tint that you’re probably most familar with and (2) it offers the highest target contrast. However, if you’re going to be cleaning up a lot of red paintballs, then choose the 3C tint version.

If you’re interested, buy it now. It’s a limited run. Unknown when it will sell out.


For your house and car, I’d recommend a much floodier (shorter range) flashlight.

Around my house, I almost exclusively use a Convoy S2+. I have two versions of this flashlight one with a 3x7135 chips (~500 lumens) and one with 8x7135 chips (1000 lumens). They both cost the same, but I actually prefer the 3x7135 version better. The low is less of a jolt to use in the middle of the night and the high of about 500 lumens is still plenty bright for everything in and around the house. For you, you might prefer the 8x7135 1000 lumen version simply because it is brighter. The 1000 lumens might also come in handy if you use it as a backup flashlight for your woodsball games. Available in a variety of configurations, colors and tints:
