Light and laser combos... Which one to get?

[nx302stang]

I've been in the market for a good laser/light combo. It came down to these choices. Which one would you get and why? Any personal experiences with them? Problems? Should I go with an LED or a bulb?

Thanks!

For what it's worth, I have the non-laser TLR-1 and I've used it for about a year. If the TLR-2 is as well built as the TLR-1, I have no problems buying one if I needed the addition of the laser. The only apprehensive part is that tiny toggle, but its tucked out of the way. I perfer LED because it doesn't have a filament that might jarr off, and hence you don't need some spring loaded recoil buffering lamp assembly. It's also a whiter light which makes it (for me) easier to distinguish things.

Should I go with an LED or a bulb?

There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
I needed my carbine mounted light to work to distances of 75-100 yards or so outside. I went with incan lamp for the throw.
If you're only concerned about indoors or shorter distances the LED is the way to go.

I think I'm gonna go with the TLR 2. They are on sale for 199.99 at botachtactical.com.

Read up on Botach before you order. Its hit-and-miss. I've ordered twice. Once was great, once was a nightmare.

Thanks for the heads up! But it's the cheapest I've seen the TLR2 at.

I'll gladly pay more to not deal with Botach again, but YMMV.
