My new flashlight

I got a cool light for Christmas. Itis a Coast brand Model 7736TS. I'm pretty sure it is this one.

Plus

  • Tough
  • Compact
  • Fits in the pocket for easy carry
  • Easily mounted to a weapon
  • Very bright.

Minus

  • No focus ability.
  • None of the cool features like blinking stuff.
  • Too bright all in one beam with little halo area.

Apparently the word "tactical" in the description of a flashlight means non of the cool stuff is included. Hey, it will work. I modified a pillbox to fit over the flashlight to act as a difuse reflector. It kind of works for videoing up close.

Sample video

Title Sample video shot by flashlight
Description This is a sample video shot to find out if it is possible to shoot a video using a flashlight and get any kind of output that doesn't suck. So far, the answer is still no.
