Tactical Flashlights

[nascar38158]

Got my first AEG and love it.  Now for the weather to cooperate so I can get to the Airhouse!!  Oh ya and my charger to FINALLY get here (Airsplat is not on my Christmas card list at the moment)

Anyways - looking at accessories and was curious how many lumen I should get as a minimum for a tactical flashlight.  I been doing some research and I am getting a wide range of info - don't waste money on a high lumen flashlight, you need at least 250, under 400 is useless.  Any input from you guys??

250-300 lumens is perfect, anything higher will reflect off of surfaces and end up blinding you also. My personal recommendation for a brand would be surefire model lights. Also for buying lights go LED or go home as incandescent lights are sub par with low lumens and run time.

Check out the Night Evolution Brand lights on ASGI. Got mine for about $65 and it puts out about 200 lumens and it works perfect for me. Now I'm sure you can find other brands that are better but NE lights are now my preferred go to. Just my two cents.

Pro-Tac is a pretty good brand I've found. They make some nice higher end rechargeable tac lights.
