How is the Lawman different than the Commander, other than 100 or so lumens? How is the tint comparison, the beam, the reach, battery life? Thanks!

I am not sure I can speak to the relative difference since I only have the Lawman. I know I am very happy with it. I have only used the rechargeable batteries. I use it almost daily when I walk the dog on the golf course at night since I am not interested in being skunked or getting to close to a rabid fox or possum--all of which we have in abundance. Its performance in the cold is just stellar and it has been really really cold here. Straight off the recharging and with the brightest setting I an easily see eye reflections from at least 300 meters distance. Hope this helps.

I've not used the Commander, so I cannot compare them. I can tell you that the Lawman seems to have a solid battery life and the beam is clear and crisp; easily sees through the darkest tint on vehicles. I hope this is at least helpful?

I don't have experience with the Commander, however, I know an additional difference is the switch system. I get several night shifts on one charge cycle with the lawman. I primarily use the medium setting as the high is usually more light than what I need for most applications. There is a low battery indicator (LED) which will turn red when the battery is low. Hope this helps.

I don't have a Commander, but I can tell you that it is a very different light from the Lawman. The Commander has a TIR lens, which combined with the extra 100 lumens, will have a much wider, brighter, and longer beam than the Lawman. Also the controls are very different between the two lights.

2000 lumes....love this spotlight! The other comment by Patrick is so spot on (yes, I said it!!!) it's just like a lightsaber outside at night :)

if money was no object....i would buy the elite....its bigger (70 inch i believe)....its the only LED ive seen to best a plasma, BUT with a price of almost 8 g's id def rather have the VT, and definitely if the VT beats last years model. so basically the elite is nicer, BUT id rather spend more money on the vt and get a bad ass surround sound :)

If you have three modes Low,High and strobe, you have the real thing UltraFire WF502B CREE T6 XM-L 1000 Lumens . If you have five modes it is a cheap copy and dim display. I have bought 3 and got the right one twice E-cloud and prettylight and a fake from SunnyStore8 with a LED array 1/4 the size of the real one.

Hi, the maglite xl100 is 83 lumes the xl200 is 173 lumes so if you are looking for a brighter light xl200 would be better the controls are the same I like the controls but they will be hard to use unless you use it a lot for a tactical you need speed the xl50 or better has less controls look for some thing for speed I like the maglites because they use standard batteries you don't want to fuss with controls in a situation.

the lumens was the only diff i was able to see. so i went ahead and purchased the 725hd. it's great, you don't any more brightness than what the 725hd has. nice clear picture in day or night.

It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned. The lighting location matters, I.e. if you turn on a lamp on the opposite wall you'll see very little change... but if you turn the overhead lights on near the screen it is considerably washed out. With my mini blinds closed in the middle of the day the picture is still very good. Short throw does matter I believe. Not sure if I'm saying this correctly but I believe the closer the source the less effect light pollution has on it. If your looking for a projector to use with over head halogen lighting you'll need a significantly higher lumen version. It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned.

This one is OK but it doesn't have deep reflectors that are needed for distance. The furthest throwing lights I know of are the Nitecore TM36 at 1.1Km and the Olight SR95 at 1 Km. Another nice light is the Niwalker Vostro BK-FA01. It is 755m and is much cheaper than the other two I suggested. Wait for sales on these lights as MSRP prices are high. Going Gear has good deals sometimes but wait for the sales unless you need it now. This Trustfire light is more floody but has some distance. 750m is probably beyond this lights range. It isn't designed for throw but does put out at least 2K lumens. 11K is way over rated. Good luck.

If you use the higher lumen alot the battery life is not as long as the lower lumen use of this light, have had mine almost a year and I use it alot and have not had to change batteries yet, great light for a great price.

I ordered one in December for my AR15 and I definitely received a 1 mode light. Like you, I think fumbling through modes an a weapon light would make it useless. I ordered the 5 mode for working on cars to save the battery and keep the heat down. This single mode is a monster. Next to my nephews Olight M22 Warrior they throw about the same beam. I do feel that there batteries are overrated though. I sense that the mah stated on the battery is less than half of what it is marked.

It has a green laser that is about 50x's brighter than the cheaper one. Has more barrel adaptors and I believe it is magnetic where the other isn't to make a more secure mount. What they don't mention is the ability to download a simple ballistics program too that let's you print test targets.I think all versions get this but I am sure this one does. Also, the tipping factor for me is this one is the civilian version of the one that the USMC uses.So far so good. Sighted in 3 of my rifles without leaving the house and when I hit the range it took me only 3-4 shots to complete the zero. It has a green laser that is about 50x's brighter than the cheaper one.

Not sure about the 2L version, bit the 2x AA pro tach version lasts a long time on the minimum brightness setting which is what I have used since I bought it. The bright setting is normally to bright for the use I have for the light.

Don't know where they are getting 216. Maybe adding the hi/med/low? It's not 216 on high. It is 180 lumens on high setting. It's a great flashlight. My original got ran over in Afghanistan and it still works great. I had to straighten the threads but no big deal. I've also accidentally washed it in my jeans pocket with no issues.

I researched the kill light and opted to go with the VRL-1. The light says VRL-1. I've never seen a kill light in person but I am very happy with the VRL-1. I actually got it out over the weekend with the same battery that has been in it for a year and it was still very bright (I had used it a few times prior to this too). Good light for the money.

I believe it is: Light output: 60 Lumens. Per my prior review: "This light gives a tight circle to at least 40 yards [120ft]. I was able to identify a test subject at that distance on a moonless night. From testing, it appears that shooting at the center of the light circle will get you close for the "kill" at 20-40 ft., or further, (as it appears that on a full size Glock, the light is centered at some distance from the factory). It is not a laser, but in the "heat of combat" it should suffice if you shoot in the center of the light, (assuming that your light is close to center on the target). This should be sufficient in a dark house. I love this light. Much better than a Mag Light, (which I love). I know some may have a negative comment, but in the heat of the moment, a criminal will be heading for an exit and will be jumping for joy that you did not hit him. Same as a laser. If he stands still long enough for you to draw a bead on him with a laser, he is either STUPID or you are just lucky. I would rather know I can shoot into the center of the light beam and have a great chance of a "hit" in a SHTF situation. For what it is worth....

There are a couple models of this light, the special ops has 420 Lumens, if its the L2 version it's 550 watts, I have the Special ops and its 420 and is very bright, It more then meets my needs for a tactical light. It is a very good quality light.

Max output only lasts for about 10 minutes. The light then auto drops to about 600 lumens and will remain there for almost an hour and a half. Mine gets really hot if left on longer than 3 minutes on max, but it's perfect for patrol work. All hi powered lights do the similar lumen drop to increase battery life. Great light, love mine.
