I got a Dark Ops Hellfighter X-8 the other day, I initially wanted to get the X-4 but they were out of stock so I upgraded. This thing is serious: 150 lumens...you could weld with this thing, springs on both ends of the batteries for shock resistance, hard anodized aluminum, "interrogator" bezel (crown) and suprisingly lightweight all for less than $60

I turned it on and threw it across the room (into the couch ) just to see if it would flicker...nope.Then I dropped it in a sink full of water and left it there for 5 minutes and clicked the switch and was illuminated in bright light ( and saw spots for a few minutes) Its a bit larger than I am used to but thats my fault for carrying a mag light. If you need a light get one, you wont be dissappointed.

I ordered a Surefire earlier this week that is supposed to arrive today. Can't wait to get it this evening and test it out.

We'll see if it was worth the money, I was able to sell another flashlight of mine to offset the cost.

I got an executive defender also. Three surefires but they were all gifts. They get the job done but the CR123's add up. Need to get another dozen. Would love to find rechargable ones for the xenon bulbs. I guess I'm going to have to check out the LED's, everyone seems to like them but do they have blinding power? Still like my MagLight's though. Worse come to worse, you can cold cock someone with a 4 D cell one.

I have no doubt that my 200 lumen LED defender would (temporarily) blind you.

It has two modes, 5 lumens (great for normal around the house use) and the 200 lumens for when you want to bring out the big guns. Seems to have excellent battery life. Much better than the 5 minutes my 4100 lumen halogen light I just sold had.
