Powerful and compact! - Fenix UC35 High Power Rechargeable Flashlight, 960 Lumens

I bought this light after a co-worker bought one. Mine was cheaper and free shipping from Optics Planet! Another co-worker bought the Fenix UC-40, but the side switch was too hard to locate with gloved hands, as well as bare hands. The UC-35's momentary "on" tail cap switch is easy to find and a "click" if you want the light to stay on. The UC-35 is a well rounded light that works great for room clearing, traffic stops, and general open-air/backyard searches. If you are looking for a long range search light, it does not have a high enough candela rating (200m @ 10,000 cd)for that. I use this light as a back-up; fitting nicely in one of the cut-outs on my Oregon City outer carrier. If no time for a recharge, the batteries in the light can be quickly changed out with CR123's; the same ones used in all my other weapon lights and optics! I'm not crazy about the memory in the light that puts it on the same brightness setting as I last used. Personally,I like a light to come on bright.I will dim it down if I need to.
