is this really worth the purchase price? why not buy a 3pak of techlite lumen masters for 20 bucks and a flashlight clamp for 40 bucks total instead of almost 300 dollars

Anyone can do what you're suggesting not everyone has the look of the SureFire . It totally depends on what look you're trying to achieve, doesn't mean you can't afford the price. It's like comparing a Bic Pen to a Mont Blanc Pen. I'm probably the wrong one to ask, I have ten SureFire flashlights and buy my friends surefire flashlights for Christmas and other special occasions. Go ahead get the SureFire you deserve it.

worth or value is in the eye of the beholder.... i thought it was worth it,,, i bought it... i have others... its really not necessary to hang a light off your shotgun at all, if you need a flashlight you can carry it in your pocket... if there is a WOW factor you are after then go for it, if not don't... a cheap h&r; single shot shotgun with no tactical junk will work just fine... most of the tactical junk we hang off our guns is not necessary, just cool...

I like the idea but most flashlights can not take firearm recoil let alone from a shotgun. I don't know about techlite so I can't speak for them. Also clamps tend to back out get loose and damage to the fire arms finish... also if they are really tight they will damage the firearm's finish. I would say though that if you have a bayonet lug go for the shorter 1 cell light or an entirely different brand with the light enclosed into the forend.

The fore grip allows you to flash light to identify intruder while maintaining proper hold of your shotgun. With other lights you would have to release fore grip and turn the other light on. Definitely worth the money for design

Your mileage may vary since there are a ton of different sellers advertising through this one listing. The one I got had the housing but it was broken. I ended up re-using the old housing and then returned the whole damn thing because it was crap (took a long time to warm up, wasn't very bright and flickered a lot). Do yourself a favor and buy a lamp through Tristatemodule.com. You'll pay a little more but you will definitely get a quality product.

One of the reasons I decided to perches the vipertek vts-193- 28.000.000 volt teaser/ flashlight was for the life time warrenteee. I would contact the manufacturing company and inquire about the process using warrentee voucher that all customers who bought this product are entitle to. it mite cost you more to ship it to them then the cost of the actual price of the product! But if its a must have and you feel like you should have gotten your money's worth! Then contact them and get a replacement asap! I know I would. Hope this answers your question and good luck. P.s. always keep your vipertek fully charged and at the recommended duration.

My opinion is...... It is a cheap piece of junk. I had problems with it from the moment I got it out of the package. Issues involving springs and O rings tore as soon as I took it apart. Don't waste money on it for a flashlight. Makes a good tire knocker though. Lol

Thanks for the input. The light is flexible and an improvement over past attempts, but I had hoped this higher end version would be a true upgrade. Still a good light.

Not too bad if you aim it just a few feet in front of you. But that means you can't go too fast and the beam is pretty narrow. I found it's not much brighter than some 1 watt lights I have had. I replaced it with a Cygolite Metro 360. It's about $20 dollars more but it's a far, far, better light with a much wider and brighter beam, good for safely going about 18mph. Best light I have ever had. I would highly recommend it as a reasonably cost effective alternative. (There is also a Cygolight Metro 400 which is only a couple dollars more than the 360) I believe the top of the mount of the blaze will swivel if you loosen a screw but I'm not positive of that.

you can get these for 70 bucks at flashlightdistibuter dot com I normally don't do this, but doubling the price, no matter what their algorithm, is just wrong.

no, and it is not worth worrying about. it is a poor light, no focus, no swivel, no clamp and not very bright. consider it a freebie, and worth only what you pay for it.

Yeah, the people who do the setups for these products are clearly at the shallow end of the gene pool. It does fit a 1in mount, kinda. But I can say from personal experience, don't bother. Anything larger than a .22 and you'll likely get only one shot. I may have gotten a crap one, but it withstood one shot from my AR before it ceased to function. Oh wait, it's a $10 Chinese knockoff flashlight. They're all crap. But seriously, as a flashlight, they're not bad for the money. As a weapon light, not so much.

As a person who makes LED flashlights, I agree, a DIY solution is not cheaper. Just buy this unit from Philips.

I wrote a review on the light after I bought it and was quite skeptacle on the brightness of the claimed 1200 lumens. I saw the pic and was impressed as well but now that I have it not so much. I'm not buying it ... The photo that is. Hope helps.

I think Maglite has a great reputation for quality products and service. They repaired one of their flashlights that was 15 years old for me at no charge. I have found them Dependable in law enforcement and emergency med applications. I'd go with the proven products!

Hi, Christine...Great rifle or shotgun light... You have the option of a momentary pressure switch or an "off/on" tail switch (comes with both!). Nice rigid mount for a shotgun/rifle, also. I suggest getting a couple of 3.7 volt #18650 batteries and charger with it. I ordered my charger and 2 batteries at 3000mah for $8.60. Sold by WorthTrust Company. Good luck with everything so far.

Do some research and you can find one with a better price if you don't like this one. Prices DO CHANGE. As for using the LED light, it is much easier to find your target and lights up your targeted area when working in tight spaces. Getting this model is a great thing if one already has extra batteries and charger. As for me, I did not need another battery and charger.

It's been my experience that most high end flashlights (with power management circuitry) fail to live up to the manufacturer's claims. They're general guidelines at best. Granted, I've never actually put the flashlights up against a clock, but I think the Klarus is as good as any. Honestly, I think the brand of battery is a more significant factor. I typically use Duracell, Panasonic, and Surefire. I've had noticeably poor performance from cheap batteries.

You can get a lot more flashlight for the money from other vendors.I don't believe their stated output on Zebralight.

best quality for the price is maglite/protac is brighter but more expensive
