TX11 Tactical Flashlight with Duty Belt Holster Luminus 1600 Lumens LED for Police Security Military Grade Brightest Tac Flashlights (Battery Not Included)

I love it. I used Duracell CR123 battery and it worked awesome. I have yet to try rechargeable 18650 Li-ion battery. I am trying to choose the right one. I am considering getting Nitecore D2 smart battery Charger with LCD display.click here https://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-D2-Rechargeable-EdisonBright-rechargeable/dp/B00RW4RTTC/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1475763206&sr=8-9&keywords=18650+battery+and+chargerI am pretty sure with this rechargeable batteries, it will be awesome plus save money. I recommend this flashlight for top quality flashlight. when the flash light is turned on, you can press the top button up to 4 times for brighten the light. It's really 5 times but when you press it, it's up to 4 times. 1 = dim light, 2 = dim bright light, 3 = bright light, 4 = brighter light, 5 = brightest light. The Brightest light is insanely bright. The distance of that bright light is amazing. But be careful though, when using the brightest light for too long, it gets really warm. If I were you, I would only use the brightest light only if necessary if you can't see from the distance or whatever. Oh and you can do strobe lights. I am sure you already researched this flashlight but man this strobe light is amazing.. hold it down for 2 seconds and it starts to strobe. If you use this light, use it wisely and carefully. Plus, don't ever use this around the police cuz you never know they will feel threaten by the brightness. Think of this as playing Battlefield 3 multiplayer when a player using a bright light to blind it's enemy while in a gunfight. So please be careful when using this light but overall, I give it 5 stars because it is amazing. I just hope one day battery life can last longer and doesn't warm up the whole flashlight after 1 min or so.

I have purchased SEVERAL flashlights off Amazon for Law Enforcement use, hoping for a cheaper option than streamlights. and have been let down EVERY time. I almost passed this one up as it was not rechargeable, but I'm very happy that I did not.This light is BRIGHT, and the selector button is a great idea instead of having to click the power button several times to select a mode.This did NOT come with batteries, but I suggest picking up a pack of Streamlight 85177 CR123A batteries for it.The case for the light is cheap, but somewhat durable. It has a button snap for the belt strap that seems to always unclick when I need to go hands on, so ill be replacing it with a leather or high quality nylon holster for my belt.Update:The holster has an aditional strap under the button strap that will not unclick as it does not have a snap.I was afraid my light died, as it would not turn on. I found that the head of the light had turned 1/4 inch, and disabled the battery connection. Giving it a small twist corrected the problem. The light is made to also be disassembled this way, so it is NOT a flaw.The light seems to go through batteries VERY fast, mainly due to me keeping the light on TURBO mode. I've been trying to keep it on Medium and High and it seems to improve the battery life quite a bit. I just keep extra batteries in my glovebox, and an extra set on my belt.

Tried different types of 18650 li ion batteries, fully charged of course. Still not working. I am not going to bother returning it, but I am not buying from this brand anymore. I do not recommend this product.

Flashlight itself is great. Bright af and solid build. It also has a decent poach to go on a vest making it easily accessable. Only complaint I have is that 1: this one doesn't come with a battery and 2: it has no charging port on the light itself. You'll need to buy batteries separately and also charging stations to charge the batteries. The instructions tell you not to use the CR123 batteries which you can buy locally, so you need to buy an 18650 which you won't find at most local stores.

I have had three different 1000 lumen tactical flashlights from different companies. This TS11 is the best yet. The build is superior and 5 levels of output allow you to stretch out battery life substantially. All have had strobe and SOS capabilities but.....two of the others had the end selector-on/off come completely apart and another has battery issues. So, these small tactical TX11 flashlights, I have two, are going to go the distance. I purchased extra batteries for them to be ready just in case. I read that max. output can only be achieved (1000 lumens) with disposable batteries. I believe that to be true but did not go with a charger and chargeable batteries to compare. Today, I was using one of me TX11’s doing a bit of gunsmithing. The light was soooo bright that I am still seeing stars. One thing. These are wide angle beams as opposed to adjustable like my others. Yes, the other three had that but even the adjusting beam engineering was doomed to failure on all of them, loosening up as time went on. So, as one can tell, I am really pleased with these TX11’s to this point with not one bad thing to say. They are strong, durable, well engineered small lights, and can me mounted on a picatinny rail on your go to pistol if you desire.
