SureFire Has Unveiled The New P2X Fury Flashlight Featuring IntelliBeam Technology

Sunday, June 14th, 2015

SureFire has recently announced their new auto-adjusting P2X Fury with IntelliBeam Technology. The full release can be read below:

SureFire Unveils World’s Finest Auto-Adjusting Flashlight: The New Fury With IntelliBeam Technology

P2X-AOV_Intellibeam_profile

Fountain Valley, CA — SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is releasing its first auto-adjusting flashlight—an IntelliBeam™ version of the popular P2X Fury. This new Fury with proprietary IntelliBeam™ Technology (P2XIB)­ features an intelligent sensor and microprocessor-based system that continuously and seamlessly adjusts light output by constantly evaluating your surroundings. This model always delivers the right amount of light for the task at hand.

This cutting-edge technology also helps preserve dark-adapted vision by evaluating the environment before turning on, so it never activates on high in close quarters. If you’re in an open field, you’ll get all 600 lumens. If you’re prepping gear or loading a vehicle, it will dial in the necessary output based on the environmental feedback it receives, down to as little as 15 lumens. Just press or click the tailcap switch to engage this auto-adjusting mode. To override this mode, simply return to off and press or click again within one second to activate the max-output/tactical mode. This second press or click locks in all 600 lumens where maximum output is needed. The P2XIB defaults to IntelliBeam mode when it’s off for more than one second.

P2X-AOV_Intellibeam

The P2X Fury with IntelliBeam Technology—like all Fury models—uses a high-performance LED to deliver its broad, intense light that’s focused by its reflector into a smooth, wide beam with a bright central area and generous peripheral light. The high-strength aerospace aluminum body is knurled to provide a comfortable yet secure grip and it is hard anodized to military specifications (Mil-Spec Type III) for extreme resistance to abrasion and corrosion.

The P2XIB is powered by two 123A lithium batteries (included) and has a MSRP of $229. It’s available for purchase via authorized SureFire dealers, by visiting www.surefire.com, or by calling SureFire at 800-828-8809.

As was originally revealed at the 2014 SHOT Show, Petzl is now starting to offer the Tactikka+ and STRIX headlamps with Berry complaint headbands. This allows the DOD to buy the lamps through their TLS contract bids and TLS approved dealers; previously, the headlamps had to be purchased by the DOD without headbands.

Currently, the Tactikka Black and Desert models are available with Berry compliant headbands. The STRIX Black will be available starting June 19th, and the STRIX Desert will be available starting July 3rd. These straps are designed to work with the Tactikka RGB & + models, and the STRIX VL & IR models.

Princeton Tec Helmet Mount 1

Princeton Tec has developed a solution for their lights which helps to alleviate “rail estate” issues on ballistic helmets such as those from Team Wendy, Ops-Core, and Crye. The Princeton Tec Helmet Mount is a simple-yet-effective nylon piece which is placed behind the helmet rail, and allows users to relocate their lights above the rail, freeing up space for other accessories.

The Princeton Tec Helmet Mount will be sold as an accessory kit with the Switch and Charge mounts included. If you’re attending SOFIC, you can check the new mount out at the Princeton Tec booth.

OWLTAC A1T ENDURE Flashlight On Kickstarter

Wednesday, May 6th, 2015

A1T-Endure-440x412

OWLTAC is a flashlight company that has started a Kickstarter campaign for what they claim is the first dual independent, selective battery powered flashlight, the A1T Endure. The A1T features an aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum body with type III hard anodizing, concealed o-rings, a belt clip, and lanyard holes. It is IPX5 certified, and drop rated to 1m.

Specs sheet

The most unique feature of the A1T is its dual-battery operation. Powered by two CR123A batteries, the A1T only draws from one battery at a time, allowing the user to switch to the second battery when needed via a toggle switch; this feature has been compared to an independent backup battery on an aircraft system The A1T outputs 200 lumens for 1 hour on a single CR123A on the max setting, and 16 hours on the 20 lumens low setting; the above image represents the run time with two batteries.
