I am well known for carrying flashlights day or night.You never know when you'll be out after dark or entering a dark building.
On my belt,on or off the clock,I carry a Streamlight Scorpion.In my turnout coat as a volunteer firefighter,I have a Pelican Little Ed with rechargeable batteries to void the warranty,and I also bought an LED kit to go into my Minimag.Comment

Ahh... Funny that this old topic got brought up again... I was just thinking of this...
I've used my Stinger XT for a few years now, and aside from replacing the worn-out battery pack a couple times, haven't had any issues... But I recently got my hands on this really nice little LED light that a friend of mine picked up at Wal-mart of all places... It's about the size of the Surefire tactical series lights... And when I compared, it was actually BRIGHTER than my stinger... a freakin $10 generic wal-mart light! Sure, it's not rechargable, (uses 3 AAAs), but it's LED so the batteries don't need replacing nearly as often as on a regular light... Not to mention that it's so small it fits neatly on the duty belt, no larger than my pager holder, so it's a lot more comfortable to wear....
I hate to say it, but I think my Stinger may just become my backup light from now on... (And my friend may have to go purchase a new one, since this one aint coming off my belt anytime soon... LOL)
I'll see if I can locate info on it.. It doesn't have a model # anywhere on it, but I know it's made by Garrity..
EDIT: Found their info page... Doesn't give too much info about it, unfortunately, but I can tell you it sure is nifty.. lol

In Canada they're (or something like them) are sold at Canadian Tire. The one I have is LED with 2 different levels of light. It uses 3 AAA batteries.Originally posted by Bridgegate
It's great for indoors but not so good for outside. I find this will all LED lights. I use it around the house. On the job I'm presently carrying the Streamlight Twintask a LED & xeon(?) combination. The problem is that it uses lithium batteries that burn out quickly & are expensive. The only good thing is that when the xeon light goes out due to weak batteries the LED continues to work. I used to have a Surefire until I lost it. When the lithium batteries got weak it would stop working with no advanced notice. It did not gradually go dimmer. I always had to have a spare set of batteries with me.I enforce rules and regulations, not laws.

They actually have a forum dedicated to flashlights?Originally posted by 3rd_shiftI am a long time member at www.candlepowerforums.com and learned a lot about finding or modding flashlights there to make any and all security posts I have ever worked super easy.

Yup!
They sure do.
Well over 10,000 members and growing.
And not just flashlights, but also cordless shadowbusting spotlights and even metal halide cordless lights that can virtually turn night into day.
Observe and report what you saw with a good flashlight.

Yep, I picked up one of these beauties awhile back at Target and I love it. If you decide to get a LED light, opt for the 3-watt instead of the 1-watt. Bridgegate's link shows the 3-watt one. It's a much brighter light.Originally posted by Bridgegate
I also agree w/ Hotel Security that LED lights are not up to the outdoor challenge yet. Stick with the Scorpion, etc. for use outside.Security: Freedom from fear; danger; safe; a feeling of well-being. (Webster's)
