LED Flashlights are a big step forward and the next is variable power
I’ve been trying to educate myself about some of the flashlights that are available and recently I got a hold of some of the Insight Flashlights. I tried to watch some Youtube clips about the product line but couldn’t find a lot of good ones. My primary flashlight right now is the Streamlight PT-2 because i’ve found it to be the best balanced flashlight for every day carry. I’ve carried the Surefire G2 flashlight and the Streamlight Scorpion on occasion but they are too big to toss in a pocket. The Ultimate Retention Device from the now defunct Section 8 Tactical is a great match for the flashlight that size.
The Streamlight ProTac -2L fits very nicely in the Tru spec tactical pants pocket and it does not get in the way of your hands. The Streamlight flashlights like that have a hi and low option but I’m messing around with the Insight Flashlights that we just got in. You can adjust your run time from 10% to 100% which really makes you save battery time. There have been times I’ve used my lights to look in a closet and I felt guilty running the flashlights on full power because I was wasting a defensive flashlights battery life.
