Any recommendations for a good tactical flashlight?
I buy the cheap Ultrafire WF-501B straight from china on EBay. You can get 3 for 20 bucks delivered. I have been using them for work for 5 years now and they are great. I think the name brand ones they sell for over 50 bucks buy these and rebrand them.

This is the full size version. What you want to look for is "xmlt6 18650" It is bright as fuck and better than my surefire and Blackhawk lights that were $80-100 dollars. These are solid aluminum and use an 18650 rechargeable battery. Buy the rechargeable 18650 batteries and a charger and I guarantee you'll never use another flashlight ever.
I buy these as gifts all the time and people think they are some super expensive tac light.
They are fucking five bucks. American companies buy these in bulk, put their brand names on them and sell them for 60 bucks.

To tag onto this the full size lights take 18650, if you see 14500 those are the mini lights.

Is there mounts for them?
Ultrafire are standard size as all tac lights, you can get mounts to fit anything. They do use the 18650 batteries that the other user stated but I belive you can use 2 cr123a batteries insted if you don't want to recharge. You don't get that long at full brightness out of the rechargables but I just carry a couple extra in my pocket, as I do inspection work. You might get 20 to 30 mins out of a rechargable 18650 before it dims and needs changed.

Make sure to buy IC Protected 16850s, and to buy non-single channel chargers. Don't them to charge, and then never check them. Get a smart charger and charge in a charging bag.
These can all be bought for relatively low prices (smart charger, 2 protected 18650s, and a charging bag for $50 total on Amazon), and you do not want to scrimp and buy cheapos. Remember, it'll be your fault when your guns are all destroyed in a housefire caused by chink shit.

I just bought some cheap mounts on Amazon. If you buy the one I linked from gearbest wrap some electrical tape around the body to make it a more snug fit.
I have one mounted on my shotgun and another on my ar.

I just go to Lowe's and get some ridiculously great great Kobalt light for $20. Unless you're mounting on a gun, I don't see the point of paying $100+.

What to get?
