SureFire Upgrades Output on Outdoorsman Series Flashlights

Tuesday, August 13th, 2013

Upgraded SureFire Outdoorsman Series lights are now available. The E1L/E2L models provide double their original output while still maintaining their small, compact size. Additionally, the E2LAA (as in powered by AA batteries) received a 50% increase in output. This series of lights is all about achieving the right balance of output and runtime for serious outdoor use, making them different from tactical lights, which are about putting out as much light as possible to deal with threats. This “right balance” is crucial in the wild, where carrying spare batteries can weigh you down, and supplies and civilization, may be miles or days away. These versatile and rugged outdoorsman models offer dual-output, extended runtime and are O-ring and gasket sealed against the elements and waterproof to 1 meter. The shock resistant LED emitter is optimized for maximum output and efficiency, and the SureFire Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens delivers light in a tight beam while allowing for enough surround light for close-range awareness. Made of high-strength aerospace aluminum with a Mil-Spec Type III hard-anodized finish, these lights are equipped with SureFire’s tailcap click-switch providing easy and secure operation. The built in 2-way high-strength steel clip makes securing the flashlights in a pocket or to a cap bill or brim hassle-free.

Features and Benefits:
• Virtually indestructible LED regulated to maximize output and runtime
• Two output levels—high for maximum light, low for extended runtime
• TIR lens produces tight beam with enough surround light for peripheral vision
• Coated, tempered window resists impact and thermal shock, maximizes light transmission
• Dual-output tailcap click switch—press for momentary-on low, click for constant-on low; return to off, then press or click again within two seconds for high
• Includes high-energy 123A batteries with 10-year shelf life
• Backed by SureFire’s No-Hassle Promise
