Are Elzetta weapon lights good to go?

[mikefraz]

Does anybody have an Elzetta light mounted on a rifle or even just a hand held that can tell me what they think of it? They seem pretty expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for usually when it comes to things that get mounted on a firearm. Anybody care to share your experience or to recommend something similar/better?

They are expensive and worth every penny.

650 lumen Bravo

I'm looking at getting the Elzetta Charlie with the 900 lumen AVS head. Not using my AR for HD so i'm not worried about blinding myself. Was hoping for the response that you gave, mvician.

I've got one and I think they are worth every penny.

Just by the construction alone, you can feel it is a sturdy light. I'd put my Elzetta right up there with Surefire in terms of build and reliability. My only question is I'm not sure what your battery life would be like on the 900 lumen head. I get good life out of mine, but it is the super bright beam.

Runtime for the 900 lumen Charlie is 1 hour 45 minutes.
Runtime for the 650 lumen Bravo 1 hour 30 minutes.

great quality but very expensive for a light.

Elzetta is my go-to flashlight company. Fantastic quality and built like a Sherman tank!

 

[theledwarehouse]

we were one of their first dealers. And from day one, they have built very high quality lights. They are also great people that own that company.

We do stock some of their most popular lights, and can order anything you want.

So what makes them superior to the surefires for equivalent prices?

 

[theledwarehouse]

I wouldn't say they are superior to Surefire, I'd say comparable.

They have heavier bodies than a Surefire. The standard lights use a Malkoff drop in, which is solid brass, so the whole light is built like a tank.

Surefire has more options for lights as they are a much bigger company. I personally like the Sureifre TIR lens over the Elzetta optics, but I like the Elzetta bodies over the Surefire bodies.

Elzetta is cool, because there is a good chance that the owner will answer the phone/email when you contact them, and he is a stand up guy. Both Surefire and Elzetta have very very very low fail rates. They almost never come back due to failure.

Sent you a PM.

Go with the Bravo with the 650 lumen HO AVS Head.

Thanks for the thread. I head no idea they were even a quality light. Don't hear them talked about in my usual circles.

That's because most everyone buys a Surefire. To me the Elzetta is heads above a Surefire, and I have bought plenty of them.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

I never even considered them because their ads looked hinky. Now I know.

If anyone is interested in an Elzetta configuration that is not currently on our site, let me known ASAP. We are putting in an order very soon and can get you what you want, with the 10% ingo discount.

An Elzetta will be my next light.

I love my malkoff drop-ins. This may be the answer for me as well. As a combo, how well does the elez/p6 work with the fab mount that they offer?

Fab = FSB even. I think the model is 1500 something.

They have sold TONS of them. They work.

My buddy has a Bravo and it is LEGIT! I also have heard very good things about the company and it being all made here and things would make me want to support them even more... I say buy one! And LED Warehouse will hook you up. I bought a couple of lights off of them a few months back and was very happy...
