Product Description
This intrepid tactical light source is discreet and stealthy until you need it, thanks to the matte black finish on its anti-roll aircraft aluminum housing. And then, when it''''s time to light things up, you enjoy the full force of a 3-Watt L.E.D. that uses 51 lumens of light to punch a 150-foot hole in the darkness.
Complete with a black sheath and three AA batteries, the TX3.0 projects a professional attitude as well as a commanding beam of light. Use either of the two modes: locked on for constant illumination, or intermittent for signaling. And in situations when accidental light would give away your position, you can lock the TX3.0 in the off position.
This is a "Class 2 L.E.D." product, people. One that''''ll see you through the trickiest of tactical scenarios.

This 3 Watt LED flashlight is excellent.
It uses 3 AA batteries.
It provides the whitest light I have seen from any LED flashlight.
It is comfortable to hold.
Fine design, feel, and function. September 16, 2008

This is a great flashlight. The appearance is pleasing and it exudes a quality of craftsmanship that enhances ownership. The "Tactical" model has a nice momentary push-button feature at the butt of the handle (in addition to the rotating handle switch to sustain turn-on and off). The beam is hearty and has been more than suitable for most situations. Also,the hefty cost is worth paying to own this. Enjoy.

After using a double battery 2AA battery mag Light for years I decided to up grade and was immediately impressed by the difference. Sure the Gerber has one extra battery and is a little longer, but not that much. It still fits in my travel bag and that's all that matters. Good solid, rugged construction and an incredibly bright light. Only complaints are no place to attach a lanyard, no rubber protective cap and the lack of colored lenses like the ones you can purchase extra for the Mag Light. But the difference in the brightness more than makes up for these minor shortcommings.
A good and different light April 27, 2010

The Gerber TX-3.0 is visibily less than half as bright as my 200 lumen Fenix TK-11, however the Gerber has a very different light pattern than the typical Cree-based LED lights and reflectors. The more common lights have a sharply cut off central hotspot and a much darker larger lit area. The Gerber has a more diffuse central hotspot that makes it easier/less critial to aim; it's easier to get the broader bright spot on target quickly. The off axis lit area is also brighter than other lights. The more diffuse hotspot and more gradual darker area makes it easier and more intuitive to use. In some ways it's more useful since the light is spread out more evenly.
Given the different, more diffuse light pattern, it's somewhat apples and oranges to compare this to the more typical tactical-style LED light. They're different. The lens and reflector are a standard design, but different from the ones typically used with Cree, etc. The more diffuse beam pattern is a deliberate choice that in some ways works better than the more common bright central hotspot with sharp cutoff.
The Gerber is well-built milled Aluminum with a very even matte black finish. The nice packaging design has no rough or sharp edges. It has milled flats on the head, tail and body to stop rolling and provide grip references. It's a bit heavy for its size, and it's a bit overbuilt, but that should mean it's very durable. At 8 inches, it's about 60% longer than a typical 2 CR123A cell tactical light. It's heavier than the Fenix TK11 and much heavier than the Aluminum Surefire 6P or Z2.
The tailswitch can be clicked fully on or momentarily on. The LED has a single mode: full bright. Use of AA batteries is appropriate for the consumer market, though Lithium Ion in some ways is better due to higher energy density. The Gerber works fine with common rechargeable NiMH AA cells, however, so rechargability needn't be an issue.
Small and effective December 23, 2009

My wife and I like to go on loooooong hikes, and keeping a flashlight with you just in case is smart. The size and output of the Gerber TX3.0 Tactical LED flashlight is perfect for us.
