its takes 3 123s to power that...?
the surefire will probably earn its money back over time

*edit* unless of course you get rechargeable ones then.... damn I'm going to try that!

The reason you buy a surefire, is because you need a tailcap intermitant ON/OFF switch, a ruged, light body, polycarbonate lense that can widstand direct BBs hit and the hot temperature output of the lamp, and, most importantly, a lamp and reflector assembly that is garanty not to shatter if the light is dropped or abused while mounted on a rifle (real one).

For everyday use in the house, that mod is great if you want a bright light, but it will never replace a real taclight.

I found a nice little flashlight in an electronic surplus store..

Costed me 30$....1.5W luxeon LED, plus a 8deg lens, in tempered glass. It makes a bright spot on the desk with a 100W incandescent light right above it.

It is guranty to be shock proof and water proof. Dropped from 20' on the concrete floor at work... not a scratch.

It is made by Aurora. Only draw back is that it works on AA batteries.

I will probably mod it to take rechargeable Li-ion cells instead.
Tail cap is not with a switch, but after inspection, it would be soo easy to install one...a little hole for the wires, and a bit of tape... voilà!
