SOFIC – SureFire

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

The X400 Ultra with Green laser is coming this summer after unveiling at SHOT Show.

There are numerous advantages to Green lasers. They are easier to pick up and you can see them farther. These are made with near green laser diodes and look much more green with the naked eye. Both SureFire’s Don Alexander and I noticed that it appears more blue under an iPhone or iPad camera.

It also features a 500 lumen Ultra head and remains compatible with all existing switching options. And, even though they integrated the Ultra head, it will still fit in X400 compatible holsters.

Warrior West – Princeton Tec

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Princeton Tec has just started shipping the Vizz, a new commercial headlamp. A single on the top mounted button gives you red LEDs. Press and hold and you get white dimable 5 mm LEDs that offer 1-30 lumens. Double tap and you get a 150 lumen spot. It features a low battery indicator and a lock out so it won’t accidentally turn on during transport. Waterproof to 1 meter, it’s current regulated meaning you get a constant light output (160 hours on low, 110 hours on high).

Look for a MPLS version in the future. Until then, get yours from www.PrincetonTec.com

Princeton Tec Switch-MPLS

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013

The Switch-MPLS has been around for awhile now but I still think it makes a great helmet light. It is designed as a unique personal light with a dual-LED head on a flexi-neck platform. In addition to allowing you to point the light where you need it, the Switch-MPLS always turns on in the low mode of these specialty colors; a 2 second press of the large push button activates the bright white or red LED mode for better illumination. Also available are specialty LED colors including Red, IR, Blue, and Green and high output colors, White and Red.
