BATTLE of the 1,000 LUMEN LIGHTS 

I have a Phenix PD 35 1000 lm that I originally bought back when I was working corrections. I can say that if you're a CO, especially on night shift, they're gonna hate if you're shining that bright ass light into cells at 3am! But it was a good deterrent when they start getting rowdy, maybe fighting, ECT. Just light the cell up like the Vegas strip... they'll go back to bed! Now that I'm on the streets, I like it because I also work nights now, and it lights up a room Super good!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you because your gear review of the Hatch Friskmaster gloves convinced me to buy a pair. They allowed me to very possibly save my life last night without messing my hand up too bad. I was on a domestic and was in a small half bath with the husband (which looking back I realize was a pretty stupid move) and he tried to stab me and he would have done it I hadn't of grab the knife. I only have a slight bruise on my hand.

Why can't everyone's videos be like this one. This video shows flashlights used in different scenarios, side by side. Gives all the necessary details of each flashlight. No bullshit, straight to the point. Great video

I can't speak for the other 2 lights but I've had my TN-12 for about 5 years now. I have used it every single day for those 5 years and I can tell you that it is the best light I've ever had. It's been dropped numerous times from different heights, submerged in water numerous times, and subjected to high heat being left in my vehicle numerous times. It has never failed. The clip has not lost its rigidity. For the money I'm extremely amazed with its quality and durability.

What do you EDC now? My short list is : Thrunite TC10 V2 / TC30 , Olight H2R and Rofis R3

Thank you for making this awesome video!

I use the Nitecore MH12. Another great option. Just received the Olight M2T Warrior. Review to come. Great vid brother ✊

In these 3 which is your favourite??

I have used the VG-15S as a duty/EDC for 6 months with no issues. I keep a brand new one as back up, but for the price its amazing.

I was literally just shopping for these this morning. I always appreciate this channel

very good vid

Never had an issue with Fenix lights.

Most agree Thrunigth is the class winner, at it has the best throw of these 3. - If you prefer a floodlight, Thorfire is the winner, also price wise. You can not get the upgraded model ThorFire TK15S with side switch for only $ 17,60, which is $42 less than Thrunight on AliExpress

Pick up a Zebralight sc600w IV Plus. Got one and it will light up a field. 2300 lumens and small as any of these lights.

Tommy do you upload any of the Instagram Live Streams on RU-vid? Sometimes I only catch a part of them so I usually wait to see if they get uploaded but as far as I can tell there only exclusive to your followers

The other lights looked better than your Stinger despite the longer throw . It was a fairly faint throw to be truthful .

Fenix is the best...

Phoenix looks like the best

I have a a pd35, great all around light. Wanted something with a little more throw around the same EDC size. I got the TK15UE and wow, that’s a hell of a thrower with respectable spill!

Can you talk about the police academy and how to to pay for it and support yourself while you are in training. ?

Geez flashlights came a long way. I used to think my Streamlight LED was bright. These kick the living shit out of it. For less money.

Would you consider doing case reviews of officer involved shootings and analyze them?

I would still have a hard time trusting them. My P3X Fury cost a little more, but is backed by a company who tests to DoD/.gov standards. Streamlight is definitely making a run at the title, with the ProTac HLX, HLX Rail Mount, and TLR-1 HL. Maybe one of those as a 2nd or 3rd back-up, but I prefer a known quantity for serious use.

if you want to talk about high powered flash lights... check out Adventure Sport Flashlights and their 5,000 lumen Maglite. and make no mistake, it really does put out the advertised 5k Lumens. 3 XHP-50 Cree LEDs. oh yeah. I bought one strictly for work, and let me tell you it damn near blinds any wrondoers occupying vehicles late at night.

You can get a 18650 cree flashlight on ebay for about 5 bucks with about 5 different modes from high/med/low/strob/sos.. Just stay saying for a kool budget flashlight

ThruNite TN12 for the money . I have had mine for two years. Then it was 29.99 and for the money nothing beat it.

I am also just using a 350 lumen light but with 148kcd and a wide usable spill.

Nitecore P12 also is a great option 🇨🇦

The convoy series seem to be a cheap and relatively high quality solution, china made but to a standard. The david sunshine channel does tear down/reviews/mods, the things are pretty impressive for their prices now.

Fenix kills them edc 👑

Only ever had Thrunite failure. Fenix , Nitecore never let me down . Their customer service didn't seem to mind that their product stopped working either. You live and learn ey .

I see you consider yourself a "cool guy" now. Saying "eighteen six fifty" instead of "one eight six five zero". Just messing with you haha

I Chose Coastportland (Coast) flashlights since it's an american brand. The only american brand there are are Coast, Surefire and Maglite as I know. From those Surefire are to expensive to me and Maglite I had Trouble they honour the warranty as the Mini LED AA it's Switch failed. So I bought a few of the Coast HP1 on Amazon and the one in use is amazing. Expect the Switch to malfunction after 3 months as did mine but Coast has a lifetime warranty which they really honour. So that Comes down to the warranty of all Coast has the very best and far superior warranty. I stick with the Coast brand in order to "Make 'Merica great again". Besides that These HP1 cost 10 US$ on Amazon and are the best bang for the buck, best value there is. Kudos to you Coastportland.

what? and no one wants to see the streamlight

You'd find the strangest things when searching people. ;"a HIV home test, astronaut application, used condom, pirate map, a Black Dildo, a warm rock temperature cheese single, a sheriff writ of seizure form, FFT merch made in Singapore." I tend to pocket most of it for myself.

These are better than cop flashlights

Fenix, Olight, Thrunight, Klarus, etc are all Chinese based companies and should have respectively shitty Warranty. And believe me, they fail as well and are normally horrible expensive. Most of These lights costs about 10 to 15 US$ to manufacture but are sold for 40, 50, 70+ of your hard earned US$.

Constructive criticism. Please slow down. Your talking so fast that's it's hard to understand what your saying.

Gotta give a thumbs down because you skipped what is, in my book, the 2nd most important feature of a tactical EDC light: the ability to go straight from OFF to STROBE. It's shocking how rare this feature is, even on brands supposedly known to be tactical, like Surefire. They don't have a single model with this important feature. I haven't found a Fenix that does either, and I collect LED lights (have over 100.) I don't even think EagTac or Acebeam do, but I have fewer of them so I'm not as sure. Nitecore has strobe from OFF on at least one model, the TM16/GT, but it's a little too big for EDC. The only lights I know of that are small enough and bright enough for EDC that have strobe from OFF are Jetbeam (TCE 1), MecArmy PT series, and (my top choice) Zebralight. Zebralight and Noctigon are the only two brands that have a higher build quality than Surefire. Btw, Streamlight sucks. Trash that shit. The Zebralight SC63 is only 3.5" long, 1100ish lumen, indestructible, runs on a flat top 18650 and has strobe from OFF. The SC32 is only 2.5" (!!!), runs on a 16340 and is almost as bright as the SC63. If the Nitecore CU6 had strobe from OFF, it would be tactical carry king because it has an absolutely VISCIOUS optional "attack" bezel capable of dishing out major pain compliance, and also has a UV and RGB LED. The Surefire P3X Fury would also be near perfect if it had strobe, but incredibly, very few tactical lights have it despite how incredibly useful it is.

Need to slow down. You talk too fast

Well the just all shitted in that streamline...they are about 160 and a 25 dollar light was better😂😉😂

You're meticulously reviewing fucking flashlights....what has happened to this world.

Not a very satisfying test/hard to draw ANY opinion from this. Waste of time.
