[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 2382712, member: 684"] I'm no expert, but I've been a tactical flashlight lover for many years. The best light I've seen/used/owned is the very one I have on my belt currently - the Surefire G2X Tactical. What makes this light so special, IMHO, is the absolutely gorgeous neutral beam. It doesn't have that bluish tint that the Chinese LED lights all have and 320 lumens is plenty of light for me to illuminate and determine whether or not a person is friend or foe at well over 50 yards. Also...avoid rechargeales like the plague! Here's why. A few years ago, before I discovered Surefire, I was assisting another agency with a manhunt. With my trusty Streamlight SL-20 in hand, I got about a quarter mile away from my car when my damn light quits. Like a defeated beauty pageant contestant and with the help of a mini keychain light, I sauntered back to my car with as much dignity as I could muster and went home. A few days later, I saw one of the local LEOs who was there that night. He asked why I had left so early. I told him what happened and he introduced me to the Surefire brand of lights. If I had had a Surefire with me that night, all I woulda had to do was dump out the old batteries, pop in a fresh pair and then boda-boom, boda-bing - back in bizness. But because my light was a rechargeable, I was 10-7 for the rest of the night. Anyway...that's my thoughts on rechargeable flashlights. Now then...why do you want a light [b][I]without[/I][/b][I][/I] a tailcap button? [/QUOTE]
