Duty Light,

[34marine]

The small 5.11 light for lift. Fits in sap pocket or baton ring if you don't carry pr24, strobes and charges full n 90 seconds. Had the streamlight strion and stinger lights, battery life was horrible and not as bright.

[Spyder]

I've been carrying a PT2L for a couple of years. It's small, light, super bright, and has excellent battery life. It stays on my belt all the time right next to my radio. The SL20 and full size 5.11 light are the main ones I use with a Fenix something or other attached to the door as another backup. The 5.11 isn't great for extended lighting away from the rig but it's 90 seconds to full recharge is a VERY nice feature.

I'm not an LEO, so take this with a grain of salt.

I wrote Fenix to inquire about a flashlight that I could keep on a charger all the time (at home) so I always have one ready to go.

They have the RC10 and said it would fit my needs. Comes with a wall mount/ charger.

Purchased two of them a week or so ago. Typical well-made LED light. Time will tell if they hold up to sitting on the charger 24 hours a day.

Pelican 8060 has been great for me.

[Claybone]

Okay fellow Calgunners, I always turn to your expertise in duty gear. I gotta replace my light. Sucks, been with me since the academy, but I confronted an "individual" last night night and my light just didn't have the effect I wanted it to. What are you guys carrying out there that I should be looking at?

All I could think was you smacked the guy on the head and the suspect then a akward moment of silence. lol

I carry X300 on my glock and the pelican 8060 in my pocket ( its ulgy but works like a champ) and I have an extra surefire in my trunk bag.

[Mason McDuffie]

Awesome. Once again you guys come through with great advice. If I ever see you guys at a gunshow or crime scene coffee is on me. Now I gotta do some research on all these lights!

Add one more for the Streamlight SL20, mine is going on 20 years old.

This is a great light and they have LED conversion kits for them as well.

Surefire G2 on the belt. Surefire x300 on the pistol. Streamlight SL20 on my bag.

The SL20 doesn't get a whole bunch of use on day shift but is my workhorse on nights.

I borrowed one of the full size Pelicans for an extended traffic control detail. The light weight in my hand was a nice change from the SL20 for that task.

+1, I still have mine (engraved with my ID #) from my days as a Reserve officer. That was over 15 years ago.......same here, a few batteries and a switch...great flashlight.

I use a rechargeable Streamlight Stinger LED weekly. Great duty light, very bright, long lasting battery and reliable. GREAT LIGHT and lights up an entire street. I own 4 of them.

Streamlight has a new SL series light, the SL-20L multi mode and intensity LED. It works on the standard SL chargers, good because most Deputies/Officers have an SL charger laying around the station. It's size makes it good for an impact weapon in a pinch.

I'm a retired guy from long back who carried an SL-20. Great light, but I wish they would come out with an LED bulb repalcement without having to buy an entire new light. As part of my daily carry, I now have a Surefire P2ZX Fury in my pocket. Good for a back up light. Small easy to use (switched the button to single click, not a twist constant on and 500 lumens. I hear the SLX has a 600 lumen LED conversion by TerraLUX. Haven't seen it though.

[MXRider]

Not a Leo, but I love my new Surefire P2X Fury light. 500 lumens and a pretty decent run time. Run an X300 on my Glock, and also keep an E1L in my pocket most days. Looking to pick up a 200 lumen EB1 once they become available.

I have about 10 Surefire torches now and I am very happy with them.

They did. Google the Tera-Lux LED upgrade.

Use to carry the LAPD Pelican for a little over a year, retired that and now using the Surefire R1 Lawman rechargeable LED. 750 Lumen work light. I also keep a Streamlight SL20L in my front seat bag.

My other dept issued SL20, I put in one of those terra lux heads. Although it was bright, the beam was a wide flood coverage. For lighting up something in the distance was not very good at all. The new SL20L has a dedicated l.e.d. long throw beam from Streamlight that can out for several hundred yards. It is a 300 lumen light with high, med and low output plus a strobe future. It still uses the charging sleeves from the older SL20s as well.
