I know some of you can afford night vision and some of us cannot. I have gone through many lights so to save you money/time and to get the right light first I offer the following experience.
All cree components come from China, most rechargeable batteries do also. ALL my lights use the 18650 batteries and the standard is a 2400MaH, I use the 3000 and 5000MaH because they double the run time. So you can buy an American labeled light or not, you will just pay 75%less getting them direct which you can find all over Ebay. These Chinese Companies live and die by their Ebay rating and I have never been screwed by any of them. My primary Flashlights are 1200-3800 Lumen, my head lamps are the 1700 lumen. When you can see this brightly at night it is a real advantage.
The difference between a kill light and flashlight is the depth of the cree element in the reflective surface. The deeper the element the longer and narrower the throw making them excellent for gun mounted kill lights.
I ordered the lightmalls kill light. Got in it today and it is the very same light as my Elusive Wildlife XL250 Kill light and for $26 instead of $149 or more you cannot beat the deal. The extra inserts for red and white which I got along w the green in my light are $10 more ea and blue for blood tracking is available. This IS the best deal I have found, Attach a QD 30mm ring to it and put on any rail...Thank you CJ.http://www.lightmalls.com/uniquefire...hlight-1-18650
