What kind of flash light would work best with this scope?

Streamlight 88704 is what I was looking at putting on my combo. Just haven't gotten there yet.

Peter, I looked back at my orders and I bought a UTG- 2 in 1 Tactical LED Flashlight with Red Laser here at amazon and paid 66.25 and sold by.- Optics Planet,Inc... The light has 150- Lumen of light output and 500- Meter Laser... I've liked mine very much I've gotten Presure Switches on each side of the trigger one for light & other for laser. And when I hit them whatever I'm aiming at is dead. my brothers or using it out in south tx and want them mounted on some AR-15's. Mine is mounted on a GSG-22 and I take Ear shots... Hope this helps you somemore good luck in your search my friend. John B.

an infrared one .. the built-in illuminator works well enough for the effective distances this scope is good for ..

No a regular scope is fine. I have a leupold 6-18x50 and the light lights up the reticle perfect. The package does not come with a white light only red and green. If you're going out at night use green, its awesome. If you want white just go to their website its 19.99

Best for macro. Use speedlight for other shots. Ring flash can produce "halo" for other than macro.

Id recommend going with a surefire or maglite xl 100 or others in that group. 1 inc diameter goes perfect on almost all rails

make sure you pull out the tab that separates the batteries from the metal. The ''pull tab'' is on most toys and appliances that DO include batteries. I bought this a long time ago and I use it for hunting. BTW- it is more of a ''Widespread'' than ''Beam'' or ''spotlight'' as most people say....but I use it to leave the shooting house, not shine on the deer because it would not put enough light on it. If you are looking for a really good hand held light that zooms in get one with a convex lens.

I bought it to go with the 7w 300LM mini Cree LED flashlight torch adjustable focus light. The upgraded 200LM will work too. The shoppe of the barrel allows the light to fit securely and not fall out in rough terrain. They both put out a surprising amount of light for a $5 flashlight

I works great with any NV devices. This does have a long range beam that is more focused than smaller lights. Filterd zenon or halogen bulbs will not show up on some of the digital NV scopes but this will. If this is weapon mounted you will need to make sure the mount and weapon will all work together.

I guess, possibly, on the brightest setting or maybe the strobe setting. If you are in a high risk area, though, I would go with something heavier duty.

Hey Joe, I've run this light on AR's, shotguns and my primary duty pistol. I have found this style of weapon light to be awesome in all applications. It's small, takes up little rail space, can use a preasure switch, bright and takes a beating. If you are not interested in spending the money on a high dollar rifle light, I would highly recommend the TLR-1s.

I used shrink tubing to make mine fit in my 25mm shotgun mount. With a remote pressure switch, it is a good light. The tailpiece light changes it to single mode operation. I.E it illuminates on high as long as the pressure switch is pressed.

I purchased the Olympus FL-600R. Retails for about $300. It is quite powerful and can effectively light a scene from a distance. In addition, because it tilts and swivels, you can bounce the flash off a ceiling or a wall and mitigate the tendency for straight on flashes to over-light a scene. I didn't try other options, but would endorse this one.

Hello, to answer that I would have to go to all the specs. Basically another port and a brighter light would be work 25$ if you need it. I am using a back-lit system (from another source) - and with my very dedicated function (in a research lab) I would have no use for the other port. The scope I got was a great deal - and seems to be amazing for the price. If you need those other elements I would say go for it.

i use a slightly modified energizer led caplight, btw don´t work as a caplight, is a 1 inch diameter and so small, thats bring me a very bright light and firmly stabilized, also is easy to removal. it´s also fix a Rayovac DIY3AAA-B Indestructible 3 AAA Flashlight but is not the same stability.

The body of this flashlight is a 1" diameter...which was one of the big selling points for me. It will use a standard 1" picatinny scope ring. The lights were so inexpensive I bought one red and one green, and a pair of cheap throw-lever scope rings, so I can swap them out depending on what I wanted with them.

As others have noted, this does not have any crosshairs (same as anything else called "magnifier", as opposed to a "scope"). However, there are red dots out there that you could use this with that are battery-less - look at Meprolight M21, in particular.

If it is a nv compatible sight, then yes definitely. If not you may have ghosting issues from the glare of the bright reticle. On one of my non nv units, I did adjust the brightness to the lowest setting and it worked fine. And I would definitely recommend an ir flashlight.

There's the Canon Speedlite 270EX. Its small but not very powerful though it can be bounced off the ceiling (only) in landscape orientation for much more flattering light. The flash uses annoying light pulses in order to assist the camera's auto focus in dim light (more advanced models use a low key red focus assist beam). I can't find a listing for one directly from Amazon right now so be careful who you buy it from. The Sigma EF-530 DG Super is a full-featured powerful flash - I was quite happy with my old EF-500 Super - which offers some features only found on Canon's high-end Speedlite 580EX but its not all that much cheaper than a 430EX II. You'll find the quality of no-name third party flashes varies quite a bit so be very cautious about trying to go too cheap. Metz has a very good reputation for their high end flashes but I'm not really sure about their cheap models. Sunpak has been making good quality flashes for many years but, again, I'm not entirely sure about their cheap models. I'm not sure I'd trust any other brands as they are entirely, or nearly so, all re-labelled Chinese imports of unknown quality. By the way, whichever flash you decide on, be sure to pick up a set of NiMH rechargable batteries. You'll get more shots and shorter flash charge-up times among other advantages. Look for low-self-discharge/pre-charged/hybrid batteries like Sanyo Eneloops. These batteries are made to hold a charge longer while sitting unused so your flash will always be ready to go (standard NiMH will lose their charge over time at a faster rate).
