Undestroyable: Surefire LX2

Never in my life did I imagine myself buying a $200 FLASHLIGHT.  I mean, seriously.  Why would you ever need such a thing ? Nevertheless, I did.  And I don't regret it one bit.  Anytime I'm hiking, backpacking, working, or deployed, this is on my person.  It's a lifesaver.

With a diffuser

As a military aviator, the uses for a good flashlight are nearly limitless.  Icing on the wings, making sure flaps retracted fully, etc... This thing is great at everything.  Plus, you can buy tons of filters for it.  A diffuser to give it a flood light ability (instead of the nice beam shape), an IR filter, green filter, red filter, and blue filter are among the ones I have.

With a 550cord neck lanyard.  I broke the original.

The name 'Surefire' speaks for itself.  Good thing it's dropped in price a bit, right ? :P
