SureFire Offering Rechargeable Batteries

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

SureFire is now offering K2 Energy rechargeable LFP 123A batteries. They can be purchased alone or along with a wall/car charger. The runtime of these rechargeables is about 50% of disposable batteries but they do retain approximately 50% of their original capacity even after 500 charging cycles so over the long haul they can show substantial savings.

Please note – Rechargeable LFP 123A batteries are only to be used to power LED illumination products (built to use 123A lithium batteries) and NOT those featuring incandescent lamps. The initial elevated voltage of these rechargeable batteries, immediately after charging, may cause the filament contained within an incandescent lamp to break or “burn out”.

New Inforce WML Variant

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Emissive Energy Corp has launched a new version of the INFORCE WML. It features a simple momentary activation switch for those who prefer the single-mode function of a more traditional type switch. The INFORCE WML produces 125 lumens of white light for 2 hours, with a tight beam for close- to mid-range applications and balanced peripheral light for discernment of the surrounding area.

In addition to the momentary switch the WML incorporates two distinct lockout systems to avoid accidental discharges. Weighing in at 3 oz (with battery) the light features an integrated rail grabber system that is 1913 compatible. The WML is waterproof to 66 feet and powered by a single CR123A battery.

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

We took this photo at SHOT Show which should give you a good idea of the difference in size between Surefire’s HellFighter 4 and the ‘Mini HellFighter”. According to SureFire it’s LED based rather than HID and produces 2000 lumens versus the 3000 lumens of the HF1 and HF4. No word on when or if it will hit the street.

GQ magazine published a story entitled ‘Nine Things Every Man Should Have in His Pockets‘. As it turns out, two of the nine items are from SureFire. Since the other items aren’t SureFire, we won’t bother mentioning them, but it’s a worthy read nonetheless.
