Hello All,
eljefe: I am glad to find someone who knows what I am talking about!
Guns, Knives and Flashlights have always been an inseparable combination. Almost everyone here is familiar with Guns, a few have a passion for Knives ( I have noted Subal Das and Mack The Knife) then I do not understand why Flashlights have been left out.
I guess it is left up to me to share my knowledge.
First of all: I do not sell these flashlights and am not any company’s sales rep. I am here and discussing this as this is just one of my personal interests.
When we are discussing about the very best we are of course not talking about economics. When the makers make the very best they leave no stone unturned in the quality and performance of the product and the buyers have to agree to pay the price to get the product.
This is the same league as the Desert Eagle, or the Hummer or the Chris Reeves or Strider knives and the price tag which accompanies these is to be expected.
gunrunner and striker: We must agree to disagree!
I have done enough talking. A picture is worth a thousand words and I will let the pictures do the talking.
I am not the photographer here and have just borrowed the images although I own both of the flashlights. These are the best of both worlds: the AA and the 2 X CR123A’s. Enjoy!!

The Surefire LX2 Lumamax
LX2-HA-WH
The LX2 is a compact dual-output flashlight featuring a virtually indestructible power-regulated LED emitter, a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens, and a smooth fluted body design that takes it easy on clothing. The LX2's tactically-correct two-stage pushbutton tailcap switch lets you instantly select output level: press for a momentary-on 15-lumen long-runtime low beam suitable for general night use or close work; press further for a momentary-on 200-lumen high beam—ten times the light of a big two-D-cell flashlight; twist for constant-on low beam, twist further for constant-on high beam.
Features
