I use a mini mag lite incondesent for close up use, its easy on the eyes, perfect really. and a g2x pro i like the pro because the l e d 15 lumens on the first push is fine even an attacker at night you shine it at them and you can see them and they can't see you. One more click if you want to really freeze them but honestly the 15 lumen is enough for that. Thehigh mode is nice to light up a wooded area or something but even then i could seriously live with a 30-40 lumen one power and be done with it. It all depends on where you are and what your doing. My point is, really high power is overatted. I like the pro g2x for its 15 lumen and use the high mode more just out of hobby, it is pretty wild how you can really light up an area and if you were being follewed at night that high power really draws attention, you blast that light in the direction of a stalker or someone up to no good and it really gives off an impression and a presence. I worked 3rd shift for years and carried a maglite xl50 on my waist. I drove livery and there was times where i did use my light outside of my car and i do think it freezes people, if they were planing and ploting something like a robbery or something, seeing that light changed there mind. I dont think you look like police by using a light but it def makes people think is the electric company or ciry worker or security or in my case a professional livery driver. I'd use it loading luggage or just trying to find someone or just turn it on if it was a bad area or an uncomfortable situation where i was outside the vehicle or in pitch black. It's kind of like one of those bright lights on the back of a porch or something that comes on. Bad guys are just programed to scatter.
It's an issue when you need to only flash a scene quickly for target confirmation, while mostly keeping the light off to not give away your position. You don't want to be constantly cycling through the low light level first when you're in a possibly life or death need of good lighting at that exact moment.
@@BertieW0oster As soon as you turn you light on you give away your position. So thats no argument at all. The "cycling" is just a double tap. It happens in a fraction of a second.
@@Gieszkanne you don't understand the dynamics of CQB searching a dark area with a pistol and offhand flashlight. You would be flashing the light only when absolutely necessary, much more than just leaving it on and walking around through each room. And if it turns out there is a bad person there who now knows where you are because you shined the light at them, that's when the gun you're holding comes in handy... but up to the point of encountering that individual, you didn't just leave the light on every second while walking around. It's a beacon for your exact movements, and can make you an easier target if the bad person sees you before you see them. These types of situations are what the "tactical" flashlights are meant for, as offhand weapon lights (rather than weapon mounted lights)... Of course the single mode feature isn't as important if you're just trying to find a spider in the basement. If you don't even own a firearm, or live somewhere where you're not allowed to own one, then there really isn't any point in getting the 'Tactical' version of these flashlights in the first place, might as well get the extra low light feature of the standard model.
@@Gieszkanne You don't understand the dynamics of CQB searching a dark building with an offhand flashlight and a handgun... I wrote a far more detailed comment, but CZcams seems to have deleted it (probably because I explained it too much, and you're not allowed to teach that type of stuff on this web page.) Just do some of your own research, and you will understand why single output is superior for a tactical flashlight.
Why post a video about a "Tactical" flashlight, and then hide/delete every post that explains why it is a tactical flashlight to someone (@Gieszkanne) who does not get it?

Would you say that the Pro has a greenish tint especially in low 15 lumens?
@@Gieszkannenot at all

I dont think that it is an issue in a tatctical situation to just click twice to get to the high mode.
