    What light do you carry on your belt?

    What's your budget? If you are happy with Maglites, I would probably recommend a Surefire 6PL or G2L (both of these are the LED model and slightly brighter than a 3D Maglite. If you really like filament bulbs better than LEDs, the 6P or G2 use bulbs and are about the same brightness as a 3D...

    LED vs Standard Flashlights

    One thing to keep in mind is that incandescents give much more accurate color rendition than LEDs. Some of the warmer tint LEDs are almost as good as incandescents now but you have to make sure you are getting a warm tint. For most things you don't need accurate colors, but when checking...
