\"Surefire<\/a>I think I’ve turned into a flashlight snob.\u00a0 When I was a kid, those disposable flashlights with the batteries you couldn’t change were just fine.\u00a0 When I started doing theatre in high school I discovered the Mini Maglite and I thought I’d died and gone to flashlight heaven.\u00a0 They were bright (compared to the disposables) and you didn’t have to hit them to get them to stay on.<\/p>\n

Years later a friend introduced me to Surefire flashlights.\u00a0 They put my old Mini Maglite to shame.\u00a0 They’re bright (for real this time), they’re tough, and they do neat tricks like shine in multiple colors and brightnesses.\u00a0 I own several of them, and I’ve been carrying their Backup model around in my pocket for a couple years now.<\/p>\n

A few months ago I stupidly lost my Backup.\u00a0 I don’t want to go into detail on how I lost it, but it has to do with how my brain doesn’t really work in the middle of the night when I get up to go check something out with my flashlight.\u00a0 I miss that light.<\/p>\n

Recently I bought a Surefire P2X Fury<\/a> as a replacement for my old light.\u00a0 It was more than twice as bright on its maximum setting and a little cheaper even, so I figured I should get one.<\/p>\n

Models<\/h3>\n

The Fury comes in 4 different models:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n

Since I’m a theatre techie, I like the idea of having 2 different brightness levels;\u00a0 low for general sneaking around in the booth or backstage, and high for when things really hit the fan and I just need to see stuff at the cost of being stealthy.\u00a0 I chose the P2X Fury model.<\/p>\n
