Best Surefire Weaponlight Replica
 
Hello.
I am looking for the best economical Surefire Weaponlight replica. Preferably the Scout Light or Millenium types (http://www.surefire.com/RifleCarbineSMGLightSystems).
Google really didn't come up with anything good. This however did catch my eye:

$50, 120 lumens, the look I want. My other question is, in this flashlight shown, does this flashlight use universally available bulbs or is it more of a "blow the bulb and you're screwed"? Also, since it is an LED bulb, i'm assuming it's capable of handling the higher voltage rechargeable batterys, no?
Thank you for your time.

Check out Dealextreme for some tactical flashlights.
I picked up the Cree Q5 U4-MCU 230 lumens recently.

heck for 20 - 30 bucks (free shipping).. if the LED is toast just buy a brand new one

Most Surefire copy have non compatible bulb. And their beam is not spectacular.

I got a Copy that is supposed to be 90-120 lumens and it does not compare to my real Surefire that are rated at 80 lumens.

The copy have a yellow beam that is un eaven and the quality is very poor. I would not take it out under the rain. The tape switch died after less than 6 games.

If you need a light to work, get a real light, whatever the brand and leave the copies for the impersonators that won't use the light outside of pictures shoot.

I got a Huang M962 replica light and the thing is damn bright. White and sharp, no dark spots or anything. The RIS mount is a tiny tiny bit loose though, not enough to worry about but it annoys the shit outta me. Pretty nice replica, price is a factor though. You could buy a pretty good quality Fenix light for the same price. I just wanted the look.

I got one from Huang too and its really nice. Someone told me to use tape to build up the thickness so it's not that loose when attached to the rail but that didnt seem to work for me as the tape kept on slipping and peeling. I just got one of the madbull scope risers (http://www.airsoftparts.ca/store2/im...v2-ras-fix.jpg) and it solved the problem. It also help to extend the scope to the side so that its easier for my thumb.

To the OP, if you want pics of the M962 from Huang, feel free to give me a shout and i can post some pics here to show u the quality.

Thanks for the info. What I was referring to in the "replaceable bulb", I was wondering if there WERE replacements.
FOX_111
Thanks. I very well might get one of huangs, or just get a real surefire 6p and just use a flashlight mount. I really love the looks of actual weaponlights, but if the performance sucks, I could live with the look of a regular surefire. I found a G&P pressure switch cable at ehobbyasia so i could use that.
GSK88 and turok_t
I very well might look into one of those. How much for one? And do you have to be age verified to buy from him? And if you don't mind posting those pics that would be wonderful. Thank you.

What is everyones opinion on G&P's flashlights?

Thanks everyone for the help!

Hello, I bought mine for around $100, but maybe the price has gone down. You dont have to be AV'd to buy accessories, but for AEGs, then yes you do.

Since my photobucket has maxed out this month, here is the link to my album:

Can you guys tell me if it works?

you can get ultrafire replacement bulbs at dealextreme. (again, free shipping)
I quite like these
http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16502 they have a button on the back of the light, and you can use a pair of high-rise scope rings to mount it to your forward hand side for quick access.
the 600 lumens is exaggeration, but it is the brightest flashlight I've ever seen.

Price of the Huang one is like $120 I think, I can't remember exactly but it was around that. Little pricey but as I said I wanted the look for a specific kit. Google Fenix lights, they've gotten some pretty good reviews and the price is cheaper than the repro Huang ones usually. nutnfancy on Youtube also does some pretty good flashlight reviews.

The one from Huang is actually high 90's, low 100's. Best thing to do is to PM him or look on his thread for pricing, though I doubt its been updated..

Does anyone know which replicas actually accept real bulb replacements? Azathoth picked one up from a guy in the sales thread, so don't know WTF it is... but it accepts real bulbs, so makes it much much better....:-?

I bought a Hugsby S3 Xenon Flashlight about 1 year and half ago. It blew up the bulb on the first day then bought a new CREE XR-E R2 bulbs replacement for surefire 6P and 9P on ebay. The total of the set up less than 50 $ and it served me until now. I used in heavy rain, winter, banging it around and it's still work fine. As for the price, I can't complaint much.

The M6 is a real one and insight has sent me free of charge 2 bulbs and the missing hex key to adjust the laser.

IMO surefires are overpriced. if you want to a replica look at the G&P clones they are FAR better than the no name knock offs and i believe you can put a genuine bulb in them. I've recently repaired a gun that had a knockoff mounted on the Right side rail and since the light mount was off spec and wobbled on the rail it wore down the rail.
