Product Description
(Crenellated Bezel, 2-Cell Body, High/Low Tail cap) With a 15 lumen Low Beam and a 235 lumen High Beam, the Elzetta ZFL-M60-CS2D is Elzetta's best selling Tactical LED Flashlight. A compact 2-Cell Body and a scalloped Crenellated Strike Bezel combine to make this popular flashlight both compact and effective. The unique User Interface (UI) of the Tail cap decouples High/Low selection from On/Off functionality for predictable performance in high stress situations, an critical tactical advantage. This model is excellent for every day carry (EDC) as the Low Beam is perfect for daily tasks or navigation while the blinding bright High Beam can blind an assailant or illuminate objects over 300 feet (100 meters). Made in USA.

I have owned this product for long enough now to tell you that I can safely dispose, give away, or sell all other flashlights I have. If this purchase is going to be your first tactical light I can honestly say you will be blown away. Suppose you have something like a 3D-Cell LED Maglite and you think it can light up the night with 131 lumens, you will be in awe of what 235 honest lumens looks like. Notice I used the words honest lumens in the last sentence. That is because this light puts out 235 lumens when tested at the front of the lens, most flashlight companies cheat and measure the light right on the LED diode. And thus this flashlight can produce more light than some flashlights rated higher than 235 lumens!Now for the guys who already own tactical lights like Surefire, the rest of this review is how the Elzetta stands apart from the competitors. The secret is the Malkoff drop-in led module. The led module uses a lens made of 1/2 inch thick acrylic to focus the light, not a cheap 5 cent chrome plated piece of plastic like all cheap flashlights and most other flashlights in this price range! The lens causes the beam to gradually fade instead of a hard ring around the hot spot like most flashlights that induce tunnel vision, this is important in tactical situations where humans a prone to tunnel vision in fright or flight situations anyhow! Secondly, the module is solid brass which is a huge heat sink to keep the LED cool. Secondly the body of the flashlight is shaped for a perfect fit of the drop-in; this turns the entire flashlight into a heat sink allowing the led to burn at 100% brightness continuously while other flashlights restrict current in order to avoid overheating and damage to the LED/flashlight. The drop-in is a sealed unit (lense, heat sink, led, and electronics) for superior waterproofing and shock protection. The drop in is patent pending so competing flashlights need not even bother trying to copy this technology.Now that we have established how the lighting system is superior I want to discuss how the rest of the flashlight performs! First it is made of Type III Hard Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum. Type III Hard Anodized is the best coating out there. You can drop it, abuse it, and even toss it about and it will show little or no wear! The flashlight is equipped with the typical 4 o-ring seal system to keep water out. Buy you can search youtube and find a video of it being taking apart underwater and put back together and it still works full of water. So, even if an o-ring fails . . . it doesn't really matter.The model I own has high/low click cap. I think this is the best configuration because I carry this light in my pocket everywhere I go. I use the low indoors (quite frankly the high is really bright for typical indoor flashlight use). I use the high outdoors to light up the entire area.This is considered a weapon light for two reasons. First, it is designed to withstand the recoil of tens of thousands of rounds when mounted on the front of a weapon (Elzetta makes a variety of nice weapon mounts). This light in on hi-beam mounted on a weapon would blind the attacker and give you the upper hand. Secondly, I carry this light for self defense. First, it isn't considered a weapon by any means, I carry mine into sporting events and other venues where weapons are prohibited. Mine has a Crenellated bezel. Think of six flat-head screwdriver tips mounted on the front! if you was going to have to strike someone in self defense, this would really cause some damage. The 235 lumens will blind the assailant, leaving them seeing spots . . . dazed and confused. I think of this light as a last ditch self defense weapon even in places were weapons are not allowed.The battery on the two cell model will put out a full 235 lumens for 1.5 hours and then slowly degrade for another 6.5 hours. The three cell model will last even longer, but the two cell fits better in my pocket!If you see one of these in person, you will quickly realize this light outperforms all other tactical lights and does so at a cheaper price than their main competitors!And to top it all off, it is 100% made in the USA! What more could you ask for a light that is made in the USA, cost less, and performs better than the competition! Get one, you will NOT regret it!

It came exactly as described. The flashlight works great and is quite easy to use as well. I have been using it for about a month now on low power and I haven't needed to change the batteries yet, although I will be getting rechargeable ones for it later.

First, a few things about me. I am an NRA certified instructor (no big deal, really), was trained by John Farnam (Defense Training International), qualified at the highest level in DTI testing and eventually became a DTI associate instructor (more of a big deal) and have trained both civilians and LEOs; I use and evaluate lights like this one from the perspective of this training and experience. I also own a First-Light Liberator and various products by Surefire.The Elzetta ZFL-M60 Model that I bought has the crenellated strike bezel and the low/high tailcap switch.Case/Exterior: The anodized aluminum case is robustly built; my impression is that it is at least as sturdy as my Surefire Aviator, and in fact probably more so (the barrel of the Elzetta is slightly wider than the Surefire, and the bezel is bigger as well). As a striking weapon, the Elzetta would be very effective. Fit and finish is perfect on the Elzetta. Unlike the Surefire Aviator, the Elzetta does not have a pocket clip, but I find the Surefire's clip to be virtually unusable because of its placement below the light bulb housing, which would leave about 3/4" including the lens protruding above the pocket: maybe this is OK for a front shirt pocket, but people don't carry a light like this in a shirt pocket. I wish somebody would figure out how to put a clip near the termination of the tail cap! Sorry for the rant. In any event, a simple wire loop lanyard attachment is available as an (extra cost) accessory for the Elzetta should one need it.Switch/Ergonomics: The low/high tailcap switch is somewhat mushy and difficult to get just right for low/high operation. The low setting is actually quite bright and will definitely degrade one's night vision. In this regard, Surefire and First-Light have it right when they make their lights with low intensity colored LEDs for task light use. The Surefire's tailcap switch has more travel between low (LED red) and high (white) beam, which I find preferable to the Elzetta which has very little travel between low and high. The First-Light Liberator is a completely different system. I recommend simply screwing the cap all the way in and using the Elzetta as a single-position (high) tactical light. Like other tailcap-switch tactical lights, for pistol shooting it would be best used in a Harries technique IMO; I find that cigar-techniques require fine (small) muscle control that can and will break down under stress.Light: As mentioned above, the low beam is quite bright, but will yield increased battery life. The high beam is the real winner here-- this light is significantly brighter than my Surefire Aviator and my First-Light Liberator. There is no strobe on my light; were I to do it all over again, I'd buy the strobe/high configuration, but the high beam is so bright that it will provide plenty of shock value if suddenly shined in an aggressor's eyes. As a long arm-mounted weapon light, this light is bright enough to provide effective downrange illumination for defensive purposes.Price: at $180, the price is in line with similarly built lights.Best things about it: Very bright and a good striking implement. Made in the USA.Worst things about it: The low/high tailcap switch.Overall, a good tactical light suitable for EDC.
