SureFire E2T-MV Tactician High-Output LED Flashlight with Maxvision, Black

I purchased the Streamlight 88062 ProTac 2L-X 500 lm Professional Tactical Flashlight, Black - 500 Lumens and the SureFire Tactician High-Output LED Flashlight with Maxvision, Black. Both are very nice. But with the Surefire it just feels solid. Now having said that, I'll elaborate. With cheap flashlights, like those plastic ones from the 80's, you get that kind of spring bounce feel inside. We all jiggled it around because it made a weird vibration. The Streamlight has that at times. The tactician doesn't. The brightness of the tactician is better, more defined. The tactician body is more sleek. The rubber foot feels more secure on the tactician, and doesn't have that push click thing like the streamlight. it's like you weren't even sure you pushed it, until the light blasts forth. A panzer tank for $100+. Now the streamlight feel good in hand. It has a blinding light, not as hardcore as the tactician. It comes with a pouch, tactician does not, just a string loop. Both have pocket clamps. For 40$ the streamlight is a no brainer, but if you can afford more, go with the tactician or both, like i did. I like the tactician for a gun light. I want a for sure light on that. The streamlight would be more my go outside and inspect light or get under the hood light in a pinch. Maybe swing it into a joint on a person. It is that tough and would definitely feel confident in it for something like that. I actually have many other flashlights like a maglite for that more like car stuff or getting into a dirty place. Easier to clean off. Not so worried if something bad happens. Now I will say this about streamlight. I have their Streamlight 69430 TLR-8G on a PDW and it is amazing. Its bombproof. I like that more than the tactician. Good luck. Hope this helped.

Excellent light for EDC. I also bought a kit to move the carry clip to the button end, which allows for a much deeper carry, with almost none of the light peeking above the pocket (highly recommended). Battery life is acceptable... I use mine a LOT, and go through a set of batteries every four or five days. Being able to swap in new batteries at a moments notice is a lot more convenient than needing to charge it for a few hours.The momentary-only switch on the tailcap is perfect for pocket carry, as it never accidentally turns on and stays on in your pocket (Those things can get hot and uncomfortable mighty quick). In short, this light is everything I need and nothing I don't. It's a Surefire, so it's built to take abuse. Is it expensive? Yes. But is it worth it? Absolutely.

After spending lots of $ on flashlights through the years, I finally purchased the Surefire tactician. I have plenty of work flashilights from Olight, Reylight, Streamlight, Lumintop, Fenix, Maratac brand etc. Always looking for that perfect beam and color. I found that about 5k was the sweet spot for me in my business of home inspections as for me doesn't have the washout effect with super high K colors. Also found that for me, 800 lumes is plenty! Almost as bright at other 1000 lume flashlights.. Gets the job done. Beam pattern is great for my work. Good flood and color, lights up small and large spaces. Has a bluish tint around spill edge. Don't get me wrong I have these other flashlights for backups. The Olight WM2 I thought would be the ticket until I got in a crawlspace and the magnetic tail cap picked up a bunch of iron from the soil making the tail button even more fickle. I purchased the Surefire Z68 tail cap for it that works perfect so I don't have to keep twisting for constant on. I now have the best of both worlds. Very pleased with this light and highly recommend it if your thinking of it. I also run this light on the 16650 rechargeable's. Works like a champ.. Would recommend this product/light to any flashaholic or professional looking for a serious EDC.. Hope this helps. M

Hands down the best gun fighting light I've come across. That said if you haven't had formal training for how to fight with a light then you might hate this one.The biggest feature that might turn you away is the tail cap. It's designed to not click-so you press it and the light is on and when you let go it goes off. It does however need a washer added to it or else it can get screwed on too tightly to the point where the constant on function gets activated in your pocket. I put a rubber o ring around it and it hasn't since been an issue.It's really bright and has great throw. Room clearing it's a little much really but still very usable.The Clip is designed for it to be carried bezel up which is great for me but isn't easy to change if it's not you. I've owned a few of these now and they do what they're designed to do with surefire reliability.

Flashlight is smaller then I expected, but that doesn't take away the fact that the flashlight is awesome , def recommend if u need a light that fills the room or big area instead of a light that shine long distances. Even though it does have a nice throw, it's not a light for looking at something up close unless u use lower setting . The small size allows u to keep it anywhere 800 lumens is very bright it lost one star due to the fact that it won't use a 18650 rechargable, no a huge deal it's a purpose built light and it def serves purpose

One of my favorites for everyday carry. There are brighter, cheaper, and smaller lights that I both own and like very much, but this light has been a useful almost daily companion for over 4 years. I've removed the clip and replaced the "tactical" tail cap switch with a complimentary one from Surefire, as I carry it in my work uniform pants pocket. A little on the pricy side, but worth what I paid for it to me.Also, in the 30+ years of ownership of Surefire lights, I can do nothing but rave about their Customer Service Department.Hope you find this helpful.Thanks for reading.
