SureFire 1000 Lumen P3X Fury Now Available

Wednesday, October 30th, 2013

We first mentioned the new 1000 Lumen P3X Fury during our Modern Day marine coverage. Now, they are available for purchase.

P3X

Fountain Valley, CA — The P3X Fury—a higher-output, three-battery version of the P2X Fury—is a compact, ultra-high-output flashlight that produces 1000 lumens on its high setting. The P3X features a virtually indestructible LED and precision reflector that creates a smooth beam with plenty of reach and enough surround light to accommodate peripheral vision, making it a popular choice for tactical applications, outdoor use, or everyday carry.

“Lumens is the total light output of the light; that’s the size of the fist that is going to hit you,” said Don Alexander, director of Military Sales at SureFire. “Candela is the power behind that fist, how far that light can be projected. Depending on light conditions, the P3X will project light out past 200 yards away,” Alexander said. Due to the ultra-high output, the P3X is ideal for many types of scenarios that demand light at extended ranges.

The new P3X is available in two models: P3X Fury and the P3X Fury Tactical. The Fury Tactical is a single output, 1000 lumen model that features tactical type switching: press for momentary-on; twist for constant-on. The standard P3X is a dual output model that provides 1000 lumens on its high setting, and 15 lumens on low, and comes with a click-type switch: press for momentary-on low, click for constant-on low output. Return to off and press or click within two seconds for high output.

The P3X Fury models offer a solution for users that demand both higher output and longer runtime. The durable P3X delivers 2.25 hours of tactical-level light on its high setting, and up to 60 hours of runtime on low, with just three 123A lithium batteries. At a length of only 6.8 inches, and a weight of 7.2 ounces this pocket-sized searchlight doesn’t take up much room in a gear bag, or on a duty belt. These rugged lights are constructed of high-strength aerospace aluminum that has been Mil-Spec Type III hard anodized and O-ring sealed to protect against the elements. All models come standard in a black hard anodized finish. MSRP is $250.00 and is available through authorized SureFire dealers or by calling SureFire at 800-828-8809 or at http://www.surefire.com

Features and Benefits:

• 1,000 Lumens on high, 15 lumens on low
• Two models: Tactical (single output) and Standard (Dual Output)
• Precision reflector creates smooth, optimized beam
• Coated, tempered window resists impact and maximizes light output
• Weatherproof O-ring and gasket sealing
• Powered by three included 123A lithium batteries with 10-year shelf life
• Backed by SureFire’s No-Hassle Promise

Updated: EOTech to Discontinue Insight Branded Lights

Tuesday, October 29th, 2013

This email went out to dealers early this morning from EOTech:

Dear EOTech distributors and sales representatives:

The discontinuation will include all models and sku’s, including the following family of lights: M3, M3X, M6, M6X, X2, X2L, WL1 and WMX200. The IFL (Integrated Fore-end Light) remains strongly positioned in its category and will continue unaffected by this announcement. (emphasis added) The effective date of this change will be January 1st, 2014 and all existing purchase orders in the system will be honored. We are giving notice of these product changes in order for your company to adjust its product purchasing records or to make any final lifetime purchases of the discontinued products that are still in supply.

We request that you carefully review these changes and notify your buyers to place your company’s final purchases for available discontinued products as soon as possible. Orders will continue to be accepted until the end of the calendar year but only while supplies last. Additionally, effective immediately, MAP restrictions will be lifted to assist you in the movement of current inventory.

Warranty and customer service inquiries on the product line will continue unchanged per the L-3 Warrior Systems/Insight contact information provided in the product literature.

The decision to exit this business was due to the industry trend in this product category for low cost, foreign made devices. As EOTech product always has, and will continue to be built in the USA, the decision was made to exit this business and focus on the core product line and on our operations here in the USA.

We appreciate your understanding and assistance in helping us help you minimize the impact of this product discontinuation on your company. We also thank you for your continued support and success of the EOTech product line.

UPDATE: They aren’t going away. Insight will continue to produce and sell these lights.

the-siege_logoed

Streamlight’s ‘The Siege’ is a compact, akaline hand lantern. It features two LED modes:

White LED – four C4 LEDs
– High; 340 lumens with a 30 hour run time
– Medium; 175 lumens with a 70 hour run time
– Low; 33 lumes with a 295 hour run time

Red LED – one red LED
– High; steady night vision preserving mode – 10 lumens with a 235 hour run time
– Flash SOS mode; 10 lumens with a 430 hour run time

The Siege comes with a polycarbonate glare-reducing cover that provides soft, even 360° light distribution. The cover is removable to illuminate larger areas. Incorporated D-rings are featured on the top and bottom of the lantern and are spring-loaded to stow against the light, out of the way when not in use. The handle is designed to lock in either an upright or stowed position.

The Siege uses three D-cell alkaline batteries, and the battery door is keyed to facilitate battery replacement in the dark. The power button is recessed to prevent accidental actuation, and the lantern also features a battery level indicator – green, to yellow, to red, then to flashing red when batteries are at the end of useable life.

The Siege is constructed from durable polymer with a rubber molded base. It’s certified IPX7 waterproof to 1m submersion, 2m impact resistance tested, and it floats for easy retrieval from water.

Metal_Molle_Attached

Alpha-Tac’s ExtremeBeam line of flashlights now has a modular attachment in the Metal Molle. Designed specifically for use with all ExtremeBeam XT8 flashlights, the Metal Molle turns a normally straight-bodied flashlight into a hands-free angled light with 720 feet of projection and three flexible usage settings. The Metal Molle is constructed from solid bar-stock aluminum and features dual shock pins for additional durability.

The Metal Molle was initially designed for European firefighters, and is a great option for those with wrist dexterity problems looking for a method to perform traditional flashlight tactical maneuvers. It’s also useful with industry, military, law enforcement, or anyone else looking for a durable, mountable, angled flashlight.

SureFire EB2 – A 2-Cell Backup Light

Wednesday, October 9th, 2013

EB2_backpack

The EB2 Backup is a higher-output, two-battery version of the EB1 Backup you are all familiar with. It is a dual-output flashlight (5 Lumens and 500 Lumens) designed as a backup light for patrol officers or as a primary light for plainclothes officers. SureFire also recommends it for outdoor, self-defense, and everyday-carry use.

Powered by two 123A lithium batteries, the EB2 Backup features a LED emitter and a precision Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens. The EB2 is constructed of high-strength aerospace aluminum that has been Mil-Spec Type III hard anodized and O-ring sealed to protect against the elements.

This useful dual-output light comes in two versions: a click-type tailcap switch or tactical tailcap switch. To activate the EB2 with a click-type switch, just press or click the tailcap pushbutton once for the tactical-level 500-lumen high beam that can reach deep into the night or overwhelm an aggressor’s dark-adapted vision. Return to off and press or click again within two seconds to activate the 5-lumen low beam, useful for navigating, loading gear, and other tasks that don’t require a lot of light. With the tactical tailcap version of the EB2, press for momentary-on low, press farther for momentary-on high, and twist the tailcap for constant-on activation at either level.

EB2-TN

All EB2 models are available in Black or Tan.

Features and Benefits:
• Two output levels—high for maximum light, low for extended runtime
• Two tailcap switch options: click-on/off or press-for-momentary activation/twist-for-constant-on
• TIR lens produces tight beam with reach and enough surround light for peripheral vision
• Coated, tempered window resists impact and maximizes light output
• Two-way clip permits light to be carried head up or down, or clipped to a hat brim or bill
• Weatherproof O-ring and gasket sealing
• Powered by two included 123A lithium batteries with 10-year shelf life
• Backed by SureFire’s No-Hassle Promise
