Lights
Compact, dual-output LED flashlight, with a high
beam bright enough for tactical applications and a low beam for close work or
extended runtime.
Constructed of aerospace-grade aluminum with a
rugged Military Specification hard-anodized finish, and powered by two lithium
batteries (10-year shelf life), the L2 LumaMax® features a white, five-watt LED
(light emitting diode). The L2's digitally controlled two-stage tailcap switch
allows the user to choose either a low-output beam for close-up work or a
high-output beam for full power applications - press the tailcap switch slightly
for the low beam, continue pressing to activate the high beam. Twist the tailcap
for constant light on either beam setting.
The L2 also features digital current
regulation circuitry to match the LED's current requirements with the battery's
output to maintain a more consistent level of light output for the useable life
of the batteries (as opposed to unregulated lights, which are subject to a
steady decline in light intensity beginning shortly after activation). Compared
to incandescent bulbs, LEDs provide extended runtime and extreme resistance to
malfunction due to impact.
The L2 produces useable light for
approximately 18 hours on the low-beam setting; high-beam runtime is
approximately 60 minutes. Unlike many LED flashlight manufacturers -- who
inflate the light output and usable runtimes of their LEDs --SureFire provides
realistic output and runtime specifications based on scientifically obtained
measurements. Although any LED - including those produced by SureFire can
continue to produce insignificant light output for over 50 hours, the amount of
useful light produced is typically of a shorter duration. |
