Hey everyone, just posting because eventually people are going to notice my signature and question the actual brightness of my rail-mounted "tac light". Yes, it is a true 3,800 Luminen light. It is manufactured (don't be fooled) and distributed out of China, so expect a little longer shipping time if you order one. They (TrustFire) come in different sizes and power outputs, all with rechargeable battery cells (I think most models accept 123A's, but I wouldn't trust the runtime on those batteries.) I myself have the 3,800L mounted on my Echo1 614 (for when I feel like seeing daylight when it's total darkness, or someone just needs to be blinded...) and I also carry one at work, along with it's baby brother- the smaller-framed 1,000L model. Along with the other guys I work with, there's a bunch of Glendale/Phoenix PD buddies of mine that now have their whole squads carrying these as their primary lights... One PPD Sgt was even seen with the model rated around 5,000L which literally will turn night into day.
Anyway, if anyone wants to check these out click the link (Amazon.com) below and see for yourself. For the price, you'll regret buying your last MagLite/Surefire/5.11 flashlight for certain.
Enjoy, everyone!
