Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Never heard of then until yesterday. Bought one about 7 inches long and it is a very impressive light....so far. I just need one for my house and yard, not looking for a "tactical" (I'm learning the detest that word) light, but this might do in many circumstances. Any one even heard of them or have any experience with them?
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Yessir. Bought two of the larger ones from a local gun shop, then went back for 3 more for the kids. Awesome lights. Very bright. Going on three years and they still work like the day we got em.
Pat Riot Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 No, but my favorite brand of lights is Olight. Fantastic products.
Choctaw Jack Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 I have several different models of Nebo lights. Really like them. Seem to be very durable, very bright, reasonably priced. I recommend them. Choctaw
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Love mine, about 4-5 years now. Slyde King model. Highly recommend.

DeaconKC Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 We sell them at the LGS I work at. Fantastic lights, we have never had a complaint on them. They make a blood tracker one that is really popular too.
Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 I've sold them in my store for 3+ years. Good products, lots of different models. Possibly look at Cricket model for carrying in auto.

watab kid Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 so many choices and it always overwhelms me when i think about it , i have a lot of working lights some are good some not as good anymore , but as a scotsman i have issues throwing out a perfectly good light even if its not the current top of line , i do want one of the high intensity headlamps tho , needed it last summer and will again this year if all goes well , gonna get one ,
Texas Joker Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 Fish n stuff on YouTube recently did a show off of some small relatively inexpensive lights

They might be a little pricey, but I have had Olights for several ears now and they all work great. Tough and waterproof. https://www.olightstore.com/perun-2-mini-led-rechargeable-headlamp This is a larger light version. I bought this one for my grandson. He uses it for working on cars and camping. https://www.olightstore.com/o-perun2-double I have one of these that I clip to my ball cap brims. I can guarantee these are waterproof. I left one in my pants pocket and my wife did the laundry. 1 wash cycle and 2 rinse cycles and it works just fine. It has two lighting levels. A light push on the rear on switch gives you 5 lumens. A quick 2nd press gives you 180 lumens of bright white light. Helluva light for $18 +shipping. https://www.olightstore.com/i3t-eos Their main website: https://www.olightstore.com/ I also find Olight booths at larger gun shows. They make weapons mounted lights as well.

I was disappointed to find that no one made holsters for my Glocks with Olights attached, but now I see a few have made holsters go Olights. Vedder, Craft and a few makers I haven’t heard of before make holsters for guns with Olight WMLs.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 8, 2024 Author Posted January 8, 2024 The one it replaced was a forty some year old Mag Light. We lived a couple of miles up the road from the factory and some friends worked there. It was a great light. Replaced the bulb with an LED a few years back, but had to retire it when I went to change the batteries and one had ruptured and was frozen in the tube. I tried everything to get it out and finally gave it a decent burial and moved on. Looks like I'm a NEBO guy for the time being.

Don’t remember the mfg. but I can dig them out if you want to know. Surfire is definitely the most popular. I have a O light I've carried in the pocket for a couple years now. It’s been very durable and I like the rechargeable feature, magnetic base so you can stick it to things. Also have one on a shotgun and rifle, no problems so far. I feel they are a good value for the money, especially if you wait for their sales
Buckshot Bob Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 This is the one I have for a Nomad “glock clone frame I like better than a Glock” . But he also makes Olight holsters for Glock and many others https://greymansolutions.net/collections/holsters/products/surefire-inside-the-waist

Tyrel Cody Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 We bought our son a Nebo for Christmas and he likes it; but I may have to look into the Olight’s. I wish I could find one like my Primary ARMS Gen2 weapon light that they discontinued; should’ve bought a bunch of them.
