    Hey guys,


    just a quick question. Does anybody know the maximum lumens you can have on a flashlight in airsoft. Is there a restriction/maximum amount or is it whatever you want?

    Thanks in advance

    There's a power limot for lasers, but not lights. I spent a few hours in Sennybridge last time just ****ing up people's night vision with a 3,000+ lumen light.

    Bear in mind that people (on your team) will probably get annoyed if you keep screwing up their night vision with a flashlight.

    It's sn Elektro-lumens Firesword V. They retail at about 400USD so you probably want to have a use for it outside airsoft :-)

    I had the pleasure of standing next to that flash-light at Senny!!!! There was about 3 snipers using night-vision in the building across from our CP. That flash-light was lighting up the whole gable side of that 3 story building!!! It was our only action against them while we got men in the bottom floor.

    torchs the new must have item in airsoft after bf3 :)

    no legal restrictions has far as im aware, but a bit of common sense needs to be applied ( yes i now this is something absent from the hobby at time but we have to try :) ) especially when looking at high lumens and functions like strobes

    personally been using the fenix ta20 for about a year know for airsoft and general use, http://www.fenixlight.com/viewproduct.asp?id=97
