All the cool kids are getting a LED flashlight with a beam that shines halfway to Mars and a skin so tough you can feed it to a T-Rex and after the dinosaur chews it up and shits it out it is still shining as bright as ever. Then you can boil it to sterilize it, freeze it to preserve the memory, and the sum ***** is still blazing away brighter than ever.

Atomic beam, Night Hawk, Bell & Howell Tac Light, Brand X, or "the competition" with a price tag over $300. What is your choice?

Has anyone tried any of the products from the tube or bought a cheap or expensive "tactical" flashlight? Are there great advantages like being able to point it at the refrigerator and see what is inside without opening the door? How many criminals have you blinded with the strobe feature? Does it piss people off when you are 60 miles out to sea and shine the light into their bedroom window on shore?

What is the definitive choice for the discriminating flashlight user who wants to have the best flashlight available in these exciting modern times?

I don't have one, but I've seen them in action.  I also have some LED cheapies, and for me, nothing beats a good ol trusty 4 cell Mag Lite.
