Has anyone tried the military flashlight that is supposed to be the brightest and most rugged in the world?
Thanks,

Yep, total scam:

Lumitact G700 Flashlight Video Review with no Navy Seals

Hey there BLF! Thanks to Yourrid and Slim Pickins, I have put together the Ultimate G700 review. Whether it’s the Lumitact G700 or Shadowhawk X800, it’s sure to be shocking! I compare the light to the mostly similar Meco from Banggood which is about $6 shipped. There is some slightly NSFW language in the review, so if a few bad words offend- you might want to turn down the volume or read a review about a real flashlight. I tried to have fun with this. I don’t think there’s any more to say about …

LumiTact G700 "TOUGHEST FLASHLIGHT ON THE MARKET"

Update 3/13 If you’re here because you’re researching the G700 to purchase, I’d definitely watch the side-by-side comparision of the G700 against the $6.99 “knockoff” light. A member on here, mhanlen, graciously took time to put together a review for us… I hope you have popcorn ready!

New or other names for the LumiTact G700 flashlight

The G700, there are several posts and an action all about this light. However, they just put a new name on it and try to sell it under that name. If you find an ad please post it here and I will update the OP so we can keep track of this thing. First surfaced as way overpriced Meco/Ultrafire zoomie: LumiTact G700 .

G700 Scam .... Glad I did my research!

I saw an advertisment for a G700 tactical light and was intrigued. Thank goodness I started doing a little reading and ended up here, where I found more info on flashlights than I could believe, most of it I couldnt understand. I (like most folks I imagine) never realized that some flashlights required drivers! I am new to flashaholicism and would like to learn more but I am at this point, to say the least, very confused. I have spent much time reading here trying to educate myself and hopefull…

Move aside G700, it's time for the X800 to rise!

It’s time for the new and improved X800!! “With a rise in domestic terrorism, Americans are turning to a better solution to protect themselves.” https://www.shadowhawkflashlights.com/ss1/index.php?AFID=12&SID=YH Saw an ad for this light and just knew I had to post it here. It seems they are doing the exact same thing as the people with the g700 light. Saying it’s a $200 light marked down 75%. Same stuff, different name…

And there’s more!

If you can buy one for the pennies it’s worth get one. Rip the insides out and put a new driver and led in it. I figured it’s a low risk way to learn some basic modding.

Makes me chuckle when I light mine up and it destroys lights which cost 10 times the total cost.

How about a picture of the mod?

Thanks, about what I expected.

Jerry, there are good lights for not a great deal of money but the XML-T6 is an entry level light and should be bought inexpensively. Spend some time on the forum and check out the good ones. For 2x the price of a xml-t6 you can get a Convoy C-8 and that is a good light. But there are counterfeits out there (don’t ask me how I know ) but they’re easy to dodge by getting them directly from the source and they won’t cost anymore. One doesn’t need to spend big bucks for a light in order to get quality.

What are you looking for? What use?

Will get some pics up when I get time, these light nights don’t make life easy

Hi BrianK,
I was just responding to the subject of the thread. I already have all the lights I need or want, except gift lights.

I mentioned that I would be happy with two lights, SK 68 and Tank 007 e09. I do not have any use for 18650 lights. I only use AAA for my pocket, and AA or other purposes. I have never had a failure with either one mentioned. Years ago I bought some more expensive lights. I have a couple of Fenix LD1, but they do nothing my Tank 007 e09 won’t. I also have some 4 Sevens minis, but there are too many modes, and AceBeam L10 which suits me as well and is cheaper.

I do not normally carry any AA light, but much prefer AAA. The Convoy C8 would not be a bad light, but I do not care for 18650 lights although I have a few.
I am not really a flashaholic, although I have a number of lights, and have bought several $100 worth as gifts.
For me a flashlight is just a tool to see in the dark or dark places. As I have stated I would not consider paying $50 for a flashlight when the <$20 lights do everything I need to do.

Thanks for the help,
Jerry
