Bought a ThorFire VG10 tactical flashlight with a Cree XM-L2 LED for my AR. Light is available on Amazon for $36 and includes an 18650 battery and charger.
The light has four brightness modes (no strobe function), and is certainly bright on the brightest mode. My biggest complaint is that a single button is used to turn the light on/off and select the mode. A full depress of the power/mode switch will turn the light on or off. A slight depress of the power/mode switch will cycle the light to the next mode (in order of increasing brightness). As you might suspect, it's hard to setup the light so that it will be in the mode you want when you turn it on (e.g., full brightness). I'm considering shopping for a light with separate power and mode buttons so I can always have the light in the mode that I want. Just my
If you have another tactical light you recommend, feel free to post it in reply.
