ATAC A2 Flashlight

Comments about ATAC A2 Flashlight:

Having used the standard-issue, traditional Mag-Lites for years and years, I wasn't sure what improvements the L2 could offer; a flashlight is a flashlight, right? Well, the moment I first put the L2 through its paces I KNEW that I was onto something great.

At more than twice the candle-power of even the largest available Mag-Lites (and a fraction of the size), the L2 has never failed to amaze me and come through in a pinch. Its 222 lumens (READ: "OMG, that's freaking BLINDING!") light up even the most distant, dark corners and help keep me safe. I especially like the strobe setting, because its white-hot flashes immediately disorient anybody who might otherwise be tempted to look at me sideways.

If you've never used an "intelligent switch" before, you might need to practice just a little to be able to reliably and quickly cycle through its high/low/strobe settings, especially in an emergency situation. However, the tremendous versatility offered by the flashlight's new power switch MORE than makes up for any temporary hitch in muscle memory as you learn just exactly how to crank on the blinding, flashing strobe.

This little honey has illuminated all of the bad stuff lurking in the shadows and helps me come home safely every day. I cannot say enough great things about this little rocket for my pocket. The L2 is an indispensable tool for me and should be a welcome addition to any tool belt, bag or glove compartment.

I am a full time police officer and detective. Any light that repeatedly fails to turn on right out of the box and with fresh batteries, unless I bang it against something, is not worth the price I have paid for it. As a five year swat team operator, I generally really like 5.11, hence my selection of the ATAC A2. I am very disappointed to now have to go through the customer service, return shipping waiting game for what should have been an easy purchase.

I owned several of the "junior LED" from another company. I like it but it doesn't last very long for the price (about 9 months). I use my light mainly for servicing on A/C's and gas fired furnaces in the HVAC field and love this light so far! I really love the strobe feature for safety when I'm in a questionable area, and low light option when I don't need as much light! I also trust that 5.11 will warranty their product better than the other light I own! I'm not a fan of having to carry it in my pocket so had to find a suitable belt holster that allowed me carry it in a more comfortable position! Other than that this light is the best light I've ever owned!
