Great light - Streamlight TL-3 Tactical Flashlights

A very good tactical light. It is blindingly bright and reasonably compact. Don Hume makes a beautiful leather holster for it. The down side is smaller lamps of similar power are now available from Fenix and Olight. It lacks a strobe which is desirable in tactical flashlight use. Unfortunately using RCR123A's will fry the bulb so it is a bit more expensive to operate than a Cree Q5 flashlight running on rechargeables. But it is still a terrific light for the money.
Pros: Very bright, long throw, good spot, good flood
Cons: A bit large, no strobe
