Build a $100 tactical light for $10
I was watching "Brink!" on the Sdcience channel and saw this cool video to convert a $5.00 flashlight into a powerful tactical light.

Re: Build a $100 tactical light for $10
It should go without saying but MAKE SURE you get the EXACT model of flashlight
1 Eveready Contractor Industrial Flashlight
Other lights that look similar will not perform the same as the case isn't made the same.The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

kewl......
I wonder what the run-time on that is ?
I also wonder if I can find an LED that will fit just as well...
I am going to have to try this.

Re: Build a $100 tactical light for $10
I saw this on instructables a while ago. Run time is about 2 hrs from what I remember. My LED light that I carry takes 3 AAA's and runs about 135 lumens (bright for a carry light I'd say). It was $25.
I couldnt afford a surefire atm, but was in need of a light for my car. So I retired my 60 lumens light to the car and put this one in my jacket pocket instead.

Re: Build a $100 tactical light for $10
As someone noted on the youtube comments....why not retrofit light with LEDs instead of the energy hogging and potentially not as bright bulb? Wouldn't be bolt on but with some soldering and some slight modding it would last a long time.
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
