Pretty cool people that run that place. You're right, those things are not toys. Not sure if they're still up, but there were some youtube videos of guys using their products out in the desert "somewhere"

I think you're mostly stuck with online sales. It's a pretty niche market. Have you checked out Emisar before? They ship from China but it's a pretty smooth process.

REI, Bass Pro Shops, Cabella’s would be a good start, but they don’t have a lot of good ones. Some of the tactical supply places that serve law enforcement and gun shops will have some, but likely only carry a handful of brands. I’d call around before making a trip. r/flashlights might have some ideas too.

You should check out facility suppliers like Grainger or Graybar.

Bass pro. Look for tactical lights like streamlight or if you want the best Surefire

I think Streamlight is in the Greater Philly area, right?

I've noticed auto part stores have strangely large flashlight selections. Not a hobbyist so I've no idea if they're high-end or just cheap crap, but they probably list their inventory on their websites. I'm thinking the chains like autozone, pep boys, etc.

Go to a gun store. Most of them carry high quality high lumen stuff meant to be mounted on rifle, meaning the electronics are strong enough to handle recoil and not fall apart.

If you're up for a drive, The Fire store in Coatesville had great selection.

I really thought this was a euphemism for something, and well, TIL.

Lol r/flashlight is the real deal. There's a lot of great stuff on there to get started and get an idea of how powerful some of these tiny handheld fuckers can get. It's addicting to have a fucking lightsaber in your hand
