Flashlight
Help! What is the ideal flashlight to keep with your nightstand gun? Brand, model, functions, lumens, etc.
Thanks! Jim

I have a Fenix PD32 Compact, 315 lumens, LED $50 from Amazon by my bed, wifey carries one in her purse and I carry one on me. Bright as heck, reasonable too.

Jim, you're likely to get as many different answers as replies. There are lots of good ones out there.
I have carried a Nitecore EX11 V2. for a couple years now. Small, lightweight, VERY bright, indestructible. I have one on me at all times, and one in my nightstand. Here's the URL at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-EX11-.../dp/B0042FW1LU From Amazon: ------------ Features: Unique electronically controlled "Smart PD" switch - designed for reliability 'Infinitely Variable' digitally controlled brightness system Intuitive and simple user interface Strobe and SOS functionality Military grade aluminum alloy construction for strength and durability Compact and lightweight - suitable for EDC (every day carry) Mil-spec type III hard-anodized Impact resistant in accordance with US Mil-STD-810F Waterproof to IPX-8 standard, underwater 2m Broad voltage fully regulated circuit - compatible with numerous battery chemistries such as Li-ion and NiMH High intensity Cree XP-G R5 LED with 50,000 hour life and maximum output of 200 lumens Ultra clear impact-resistant optical lens and computer designed metal reflector Military grade 550 parachute cord tactical lanyard Ability to tailstand for use as a candle light Dimension: diameter 21.5mm, length 76mm Weight: 44g Included accessoried: Lanyard, spare waterproof O-ring Runtime: Maximum output 200 lumens, for about 1 hours Minimum output 5 lumens, for about 80 hours Strobe output of 200 lumens for about 2 hours You'll notice that on Amazon it gets some bad reviews, but in my experience, it's been a great light. I've owned a bunch. YMMV Hope it helps, Tom

I use an ASP Triad 2 cell.
 But like Tom said, you will get probably a different answer from everyone that answers!!
