Re: Use and application of tactical lights
Craig;
I have a 962C on one AR and a 951C on one of my others (I have 4) I prefer the C or 'clickie' tailswitch because it has no wires to get in the way or hang up on stuff. The 96 series lights are larger and heavier but they put out lots of good light. The '2' indicates an ARMS mount and the '1' with the 951C indicates the screw mount. For civilian use I would not pay the extra for the ARMS clamp on mount again, as I have never bothered to take it off and because it sets the light slightly farther out from the rail than the less expensive screw mount. I am actually thinking about taking the 962 light itself off of the mount and turning it essentially into an M3 handheld when SF comes out with their new 350 lumen LED for it next year...should make a helluva home 'searchlight' for lighting up the entire block or maybe for low flying aircraft! ;D
The larger incandescent weaponlights are beginning to lose favor as SF gets smaller, lighter LED based systems on line, but they can still do what they have done in the past.Run Fast, Bite Hard!

Re: Use and application of tactical lights
Does anyone use any of the Fenix range of torches for ECD? I am quite keen on the P3D CE Q5. Seems like a cheaper alternative to the Surefire range. Only worried that its a bit big. I prefer not to carry equipment on my belt for work, and I also don't want to chop and change to often. I was also keen on the L1T, but at 37 lumens, its perhaps too weak for self defense?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I found the Fenix range on the http://www.outdoorshopping.co.za web site.

Re: Use and application of tactical lights
HI
Two mates of mine here carry the FENIX, it ok, its good enough for EDC and is cheap. confused0068
I dont like them to be honest, i find them too small for the hand, or the ones these guys have at least.
I am a surefire fan through and through...

Re: Use and application of tactical lights
Hi Ikor,
Just joined the forum a couple of days ago and would like to thank you as well for this thread/article :)
I found it to be VERY informative and most definately an element of my Personal Protection that I have decided to do a lot more research on ...
BE safe!
Kind regards,
Robert
