My XHP70.2 (18650x2) has a strobe setting that will blind any/all bystanders within 100 yards, no joke. It was $40, and it is my primary tactical tool in my truck, ahead of my 9MM.
You got a great deal! It's $124.80 today on Amazon. Still, it's probably worth it. 40 bucks sounds good, though. lol
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

I have a Malkoff M61 MD2 and a Malkoff upgrade for my Maglight. The Maglight is now light a spotlight! Both will blind you immediately. Malkoff devices makes some seriously great stuff, but not necessarily cheap.
The Japanese inventor of the technology in this flashlight was awarded a Nobel Prize.

I know the post was in jest, but for those in the market, or just curious:
For the last 5 years or so, the best, brightest, longest running flashlights that serious, professional folks use (first responders, law enforcement, etc) have generally been Cree XM-L LED's, with 18650 batteries (or CR123s, for sub-compact form factors), or something similar. These lights outflood and outlast maglights or any other lame incandescent cop light 10x over. If you are not familiar with the 18650 battery form factor and are serious about lighting, look it up. 21700's are becoming popular as well, and is a form factor I am investing in.
Well, technology continues to improve and those who are in the know are now running XHP70 and XHP90 LEDs. Headlight bright (or better) in the palm of your hand. And 18650 (and 21700, and other Li batteries in well regulated lights) don't dim with use. The run 100% power and brightness until the battery is drained - the power curve is horizontal. You get 100% brightness until the last second of use.
If you buy a decent brand, these lights can go from retina-burning-bright turbo modes (*hours* of run time) to emergency-run-time 10 candlepower low mode (HUNDREDS of hours of runtime, on one charge). People that run around hundreds of yards underground in caves for a living, SAR, work in the dark, etc, trust these form factors.

I believe that a flexible, long lasting torch (one you can run on 3000 lumen for 2 hours, or 50 lumen for 200 hours, for example) is a highly underrated tactical tool.
This! I have olight and Klarus Fantastic lights there are other good manufacturers out there these two are my go to‘s.
My second light that backs up my black one is a yellow one. It has a valve on it for outgassing, says Under Water Kinetics. I heard it hissing once while I was sitting around in the layover bay on Titan.
